Hi, I'm a lifelong DNC voter, I think Mamdani is cool and he even got congratulated by Bill Clinton, so I don't think the DNC you're talking about really exist in any sizable number. Also, if we cared about corporate donations we, the DNC, wouldn't have outlawed them for 7 years until the Citizens United SCOTUS decision brought it back.

I think the nail in Cuomo's Coffin was saying him and Trump had a mutual respect, which is not only not true but also pissed off a ton of Democrats.

    pfft. it's the same dnc that screwed bernie over for hillary; remember when bill got on the plane with the AG?

    look, I'd prefer clinton over trump any day. but acting like the DNC is all hunky about non-dem-stalwarts playing in their kiddy pool is pretty ridiculous.

    Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by millions of votes. It was 13M to 16M.

    no, half the progressive side held there nose and voted for the least-worst. remember doing that? or did you vote for trump because your feefees got hurt about something?

    She would have been a fantastic president and avoided much of the Trump failures. We all should have come together for that outcome.

    she never had a chance but was pushed anyway. even when people who didn't like her voted for her, it couldn't overcome her negative baggage. decades worth.

    sure, a lot of that is deplorables and misogynists and fuck them, but, bernie was the better choice every which way. even the birds endorsed him.

    She actually polled among the most popular politicians in the USA once upon a time, and her husband Bill Clinton was the last president to create surplus. I wouldn't really call it decades of negative baggage. Ffs, she participated in the Civil Rights movement alongside Bernie Sanders.

    but by 2016 was wallowing in a wave of negatives

    and her husband Bill Clinton was the last president to create surplus.

    we've seen repeatedly that dems save the economy only for conservatives and independents to ignore that; happened with Obama, happened with Biden. That doesn't justify the way the progs were ignored, arrogantly.

    Ffs, she participated in the Civil Rights movement alongside Bernie Sanders.

    well, yeah, but also, her idol was Dr Henry Killinger. Bernie got arrested for protesting during the civil rights movement (there are pics even!), and never endorsed someone who murdered thousands of innocent cambodians.

    Oh yes of course, the party has changed so much in that time! We had the radical communist Biden elected and all our progressive policies were implemented cementing the democrats victories for a decade to come.

    OH wait, it's still the same party trying to screw over progressives at every turn? You say Obama got on the phone and got all the other democrats to drop out in the primaries in the 2020 race the day before super tuesday and promised them cabinet positions in the admin?

    Yeah that sure sounds like the party has changed a lot in 10 years and they learned their lessons losing to Trump TWICE

    ok ok you're on the right path

    it hasn't, now follow that line of thought to completion. the DNC keeps pushing half ass candidates instead of popular progressives and keeps losing.

    so work it out, you maggoty cumfart of a human, come on you're so goddamned close to actual enlightenment

    you're either deliberately misreading or having a particularly dense maggoty brain-cumfart. we did vote in the primaries. then we supported blue no matter who. the DNC on the other hand is undermining Zorhan's victory already.

    It says they are supporting him but some aren’t fast enough for the author.

    Wake me up if they haven’t endorsed him by the actual election.

    You’re literally making up reasons to be mad right now.

    Bro did you read the article?

    But now top New York Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are dragging their feet in endorsing Mamdani. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand implied in a recent radio show appearance that Mamdani had called for “global jihad” in the past. Long Island Democrat Laura Gillen denounced the man who got the most votes in the Democratic primary, calling Mamdani an “extremist” and making baseless accusations that he is antisemitic.

    Why let it all happen again? Why are you so fucking apathetic?

    BOY THIS AGED LIKE FINE PISS:

    To be fair, some of Mamdani’s Democratic critics and Andrew Cuomo’s supporters are now supporting Mamdani. For example, Representative Jerry Nadler and Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte-Hermelyn both endorsed Mamdani after previously endorsing other candidates.

    I did.

    congratulated by Bill Clinton

    All the DNC guys released the same agreed on "congratulations" statement because traditionally they're expected to explicitly endorse the winner of the Dem primary for the general election, like Jerry Nadler did, and they're making a point of refusing to do that.
