Despite his decisive primary victory and impressive campaign, many Democratic lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading baseless lies and smears in the process.

      The democrats of today became the republicans of 2004 when it comes to islamophobia and the republicans, well, they became straight up neo-nazis.

      Every phrase they have used to try and get normies to vote for their awful candidates need to be used against them now.

    Is Zohran good? It’s a good signal that the dems are against him but also I’ve seen him mince his words and weasel out of some questions similar to what AOC and Bernie do usually, so far it seems to me like he’ll be New York AOC.

      His policy will be socdem but unlike aoc he is not a socdem, he is absolutely one of us. They will fight him far more viciously than aoc or bernie.

        he is absolutely one of us

        inshallah they will fight him harder then, but if he is one of us than he actually stands a chance in that fight unlike Bernie or AOC who fold immediately.

          I don’t think he stands a chance of achieving much at all tbh. But I will support the man tooth and nail because seeing that socialists can not work from within the system is a prerequisite to people radicalising.

            Completely agree. But i think he will at least fight and be clear on who is stopping him and why, which will make for good agitprop. Unlike Bernie folding and calling Biden a “good friend”, or AOC capitulating to leadership and crying about “committee appointments”

              Yes and we need that. It’s why we should support these efforts. It directly creates more of us. The bigger we make the resulting drama, the better.

    If the democrats actually wanted to sink Zohran’s campaign, they would have Hillary Clinton come out and endorse him. Can’t think of a quicker way to kill every normal person’s engagement than by getting the Clinton Kiss of Death.

    I’m not optimistic about anything, but it sure feels like the constant charges of antisemitism and “support Israel no matter what” is backfiring on the Dems. I doubt they’ll change course, but it’s really desperate and embarrassing and it’s about to be even worse. When this one guy (supposedly on your side) can get Kristen Gillibrand to sound like Laura Loomer, I think even a lot of milquetoast Dems are going to be questioning why this is the priority issue when everything else is going to shit.

      It’s wild because this is a joke but I’ve literally seen this conversation on blue sky.

      “Vote blue no matter who doesn’t apply to him”

      “Well he wasn’t vote blue no matter who for Kamala so fuck him”

      Impossible to satirize.

    Not being endorsed by Dems is the best possible endorsement any candidate can have. Everyone hates them. They can’t read the metaphorical room though, because the only actual rooms they’re in are full of rich donors and lanyard freaks
