Mamdani has appointed Jeffrey Lerner—a former top Obama White House aide and Democratic National Committee political director—as his communications chief.
Its actually borne out by the statistics. Generally few people get what they want in FPTP but the public can often avoid what it doesnt want as long as there’s not a 3rd party. The major problem is donors pick the party candidates in both parties unless more people start voting in primaries.
If you watched the dem primary in NY you saw the difference in tone for a ranked choice election. Politicians can win in platforms there because RCV can actually deliver popular candidates.
I do think it works better if people retaliate against senators and house reps for specific votes rather than party vibes. You want the politicians afraid to vote against the public not riding poll numbers on seats.
Actually I just sit around jacking off about how equally terrible all the candidates are while I poo poo in my diaper.
I mean, you clearly like how awful all the candidates are because awful candidates represent your interests, so it doesn’t surprise me that you derive pleasure from a situation advantageous to you.
Really though, do you not understand what primaries are for?
Democrats successfully argued in court that they don’t have to run honest primaries, and they didn’t have presidential primaries at all last year. Primaries are kabuki. Though the Standard Establishment Gaslighting when someone isn’t as happy with it as you are isn’t surprising in the least.
I think you’re misunderstanding what the democrats and especially the DNC are in our political system in the current moment. They are people actively working to put giant targets on their own backs. If you want to end the democratic party the easiest thing you can do is elect them. The republican party is actively encouraging assassinating and jailing them.
They don’t understand the media, they don’t understand politics, they barely understand money and are constantly outmaneuvered by shit for brains republicans like trump.
At this point its not even about lesser evils. Democrats could go further right on every single issue than republicans and they would still be reviled by the right because they absolutely will never understand how entrenched the media is against them.

Have fun voting for second worst every time as they keep chasing fascists to the right, then.

I think you can’t make a single comment without gaslighting.
The only response to any of that is the one part where I politely poked your ego?
If you want further engagement, try not gaslighting. I’m not going to continue to reward your abuse with participation on your terms.
