Mamdani, a proudly socialist 33-year-old, holds a 44-36 percent lead over over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo – who was hoping that New Yorkers had short memories, and were ready to re-elect the textbook centrist Democrat.
However, after the disaster of Trump’s first year back in the White House – with everyday American life interrupted by protests, immigration raids, corruption allegations and the unshakebale feeling that the nation is about to enter World War 3… It seems the pendulum is swinging back towards left-wing politics.
It appears that the success of Mamdani isn’t so much a vote against Trumpian politics, but more a vote against the stale nothingness of the Democrats top brass – who, while pitching themselves as the progressive option in America’s political system, very seldom action – or even – offer – left-wing policies.
And Sanders didn’t get as many votes, because the DNC teamed up to stop him: “Joe Biden was not picked in 2020 because he was the only person that could beat Donald Trump. He was picked because he was the only person that could beat Bernie Sanders”
The DNC is also a corporate party. They’ve spent billions helping out their friends, while leaving the poor and working class to fend for themselves. Their taxes and regulations are a joke.
If the DNC is pro-union, why do they pick anit-union politicians that shoot down union strikes and efforts? Why did the strip the minimum wage increase from their bill?
They both want to bomb kids, back a genocide, and send immigrants to torture prisons. While yes, they do have differences in foreign policy, those big three are pretty big, and pretty disgusting. If they want votes, maybe they should differentiate themselves, instead of just continuing Republican policies.
My plan is the same as it was when the DNC had a majority: Support parties that actually fight for what I want, and push back on parties like the Republicans and Democrats who fight against what I want.
Do you think the Greens are out there doing great work with their ZERO representatives?!
I never said anything about the Greens. I do think that the Democrats are pretty awful with the the representatives that they do and have had.
