Oh, get fucked, Hakeem. Y’all democrats are useless to us. Go find some other way to o cult you time besides pretending to govern.

The democrats are either corrupt or DUMB AS FUCK.
They sideline literally every candidate who achieves popular support.
This is notable because New Yorkers even gave Mamdani the win in the actual factual primary election. And the party is still clutching its pearls. We want him. We voted for him. Yet they believe NYC cares what the national Dems think. It’s outrageous.
Yes

One facilitated the other. Shallow, dim witted, venal, horny, unloveable losers are much easier to control
Horny?
I feel like if they were horny art lest they'd be a bit relatable
~~Who wouldn't get horny when being called shallow unlovable losers… ;P~~
They prefer Trump and the Republican party to progressives. I have absolutely no doubt about that. For everything Trump has done, he's still a preferable option to anyone who might hurt the interests of capital.
Yes, both.
Just remember, once you reach a certain level of income or cruelty, you become conservative.
Hakeem is an AIPAC stooge.
They seem to not relize they lost the referendum on criticism-of-Israel-is-antisemitism.
They don't work for Americans. They work for the PACs.
So I guess it’s, “Vote blue no matter who, unless the candidate is so blue they make the donors uncomfortable.”
If you ask me, a snub from Jeffries is an endorsement at this point. Didn't have the balls to stand up to Scheumer so he's either clueless or a closet fascist.
Jefferies should be more concerned about getting Mamdani's endorsement. He's underwater on his polling and Mamdani won his district.
In a lukewarm statement, Jeffries called the pair’s hourlong meeting in his Brooklyn stomping grounds “constructive,”
That's literally what world leaders who hate each other say after a state visit where nothing was accomplished. Jeffries is, as usual, full of shit and weasel words.
“We don’t really know each other well,” he has said. Jeffries has said Mamdani needs to “clarify” his stance
He just did. Directly to you. In a meeting specifically for that purpose. Stop lying.
Globalizing the Intifada” — a controversial phrase in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
It's only controversial because Hasbarist demagogues make it so. Intifada just means uprising/resistance against oppressors.
The Warsaw Uprising, for example, is the Warsaw Intifada in Arabic.
It’s only controversial because Hasbarist demagogues make it so.
And to be perfectly clear, Mamdani hasn't even said it. It's an islamophobic smear from a party willing to engage in bigotry to stop someone further to the left than they're willing to go.
Absolutely. They're very much complicit.
So all these years neoliberals and centrists screaming at me and others "Vote blue no matter who" no longer applies because it's a progressive? Yeah pretty typical, no better at lying and gaslighting than right wing extremists.

Yup. Centrists have reverted to what they always were: "Party Unity My Ass."
They're cancer and I've always known it.
And absolutely no one is surprised.
For the best. Let's make it clear what we want every primary and do what the Tea Party did to the GOP.
Gotta say I’m really concerned how posts are using a right wing trash tabloid as a source.
Odds are, the NYP ran the article specifically to expand unrest in the Democratic party. The grievance is legitimate, but yeah, not the best source to read about it from.
Glad you're not concerned about Jeffries refusing to endorse Mamdani. Are you saying the quote marks and claims made are false?
Time to primary his punk ass.
No one expected him to, and no surprise that he's jumping in with the same islamophobic smears as other pro-genocide centrists.
