Even if it were true, Meg looks like a dehydrated horse these days.

She could look like an infected foot and I’d still vote for the only progressive democrat.

Bigly

In retrospect, Sarah Palin wasn’t a terrible person but definitely a harbinger of things to come.

Member when NBC News was like "Let's hire her for millions - she's a serious journalist" and then when everything she did went to shit they were like "hmm. Ok lets' move her to Saturday afternoons . . "

Goddamned republiQan owned fuckwit corporate traitor idiots.

Is she sadistic enough to hold her own against the big beasts of the party, though? She may be a toxic narcissist, but this is the big league and the performative puppy-killers and AR15 family photo people couldn’t eat her for lunch if she doesn’t bring her game.

would she though? I can hear everyone from centre left to the far right now saying “I couldn’t vote for AOC she’s just too extreme, we don’t need those far left socialist ideas in our government.”

I hope you're right, but we thought similar things about Trump since he came down that hideous golden staircase in 2015, and look where we are now

Basically that. Just another female MAGA head that gives credibility to "dumb blonde" jokes.

Good news!

The current DNC agrees with you, here's him being asked about Mamdani months ago:

Ken Martin (current DNC chair):

Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there's a lot of lessons.

One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can't just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There's no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we're for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.

And that's really critical. And I think that's one of the lessons from Mamdani's campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.

I think that's one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they're at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.

There's a lot to learn from that campaign, and I'm excited to learn more.

I'd argue that they'd try to out-crazy one another and we'd end up with a psycho. Also, while we'll be cordial in comparison, there's still a lot of infighting on the Democratic side.

We can manage a cordial primary

Yeah no. Dem primaries are only "cordial" if the progressive loses, otherwise the neolibs will take their ball and play with the fascists. See: Mamdani.
