I would argue that Mamdani, AOC, Sanders, and any others who follow that same path are all parts of a different party that is simply forced to run on the Democrat ballot. Meanwhile the true Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same Corprocrat party who is there to progress the interests of corporations and the only divide is on what to do with the 'remaining' population.
He lost them with "don't take corpo checks"
"b-b-b-but how will I afford a gravy yacht?"
Get money out of politics.
It's not some eldritch knowledge.
Neither is socialized healthcare, affordable rent, public schooling, and basic infrastructure management, but the capitalist system does not operate that way.
How do you fight gambling addiction?
You don't, they just kill themselves at some point- or the mob does.
In Europe he'd be center left
Yea, it's very comfortable shouting this from the bluest state in the country lol. NYC is not Iowa or Maine
Because the DNC isn't actually on the side of the working class. They aren't like us. No matter how much they say they are, actions speak louder than words. I just don't understand why others can't see the pattern that I do. I see Democrats tanking on purpose, accepting money from influences that don't have their voters best interest, and reaping the benefits of Republican decisions that they claim they are against....
Just follow the money.
I mean, the last few elections were proof enough. They put up safe (for them) candidates and barely even try to do anything more than be "not trump". Its infuriating when people preach at me about how great Kamala was going to be and that nobody voted for her out of sexism/racism. I voted for her, but the pre-election was handled like shit and the lack of a primary turned off WAY more voters than they want to admit. The right wingers are constantly calling the democrats communists, and then the democrats respond by selecting their candidate without anyone's input. They just play into the narrative and reap the rewards while trying to keep the illusion of a moral high ground.
