Well, Mamdani was blue and he’s turning out pretty well.
You seem to have a foundational misunderstanding of what people mean when they say things like ‘vote blue no matter who’.
Doesn’t mean you have to vote for the blue who wants to genocide people a little, you can and very much should please god vote for the other blue who wants to do their fucking job, but either way, both are better and the worse blue is easier to recover from than the red who’s going to immediately gut everything he can and then blow up children just for fun.
Are you really going to ignore how the elected Dem officials who embody the “Blue no matter who” slogan did everything they could to undermine his chances, right up until they realized they couldn’t cripple his bid for mayor? In comment on a post about 13 such people going full Scooby Doo and pulling off the masks to reveal they’re just red guys in disguise who will gut everything and blow up children if it means stopping a candidate who could actually make good on being something other than a corporate bought stooge that’s padding the ranks of the controlled opposition party?
If anyone doesn’t understand what “Blue no matter who” means, I’d say it’s yourself. It’s a thought terminating cliché for liberals to make voting for the neoliberal ghouls running the party more palatable that, funnily enough, is completely forgotten by the aforementioned ghouls as soon as the wrong kind of blue appears as a candidate. It’s a tool used solely to browbeat people into voting for the shittiest candidate the DNC thinks we’ll stomach, yet is readily abandoned with a “No, not like that” when someone like Zohran rocks up and says “Hey, I’m blue, I’d like to represent my city.” and voters respond enthusiastically to them. Until Democratic electeds stop pulling out their knives for candidates that can be described as at least progressive, if not socialists, I don’t want to hear this blue maga bullshit again.
It’s quite telling that they’re quick trot out bullshit like Suozzi is championing in response to a popular leftist candidate, but when someone suggests primarying a Joe Manchin or a John Fetterman, suddenly the Democratic party is a big tent party, and we need to work together and maintain unity. Where is a censure for Suozzi and crew for violating the sacrosanct big party spirit that protects fascist collaborators like Fetterman? “Blue no matter who” is a lie, and has been since day one.

I stopped reading after this. You’re not worth wasting breath to argue with, because immediately after I said don’t vote for the dems who want to keep the status quo, vote for the ones who want to make things better like Mamdani is, you go off making things up.
Yeah, when you say stupid shit like this, you make it really obvious that you’re just trolling. You’re really going to say “vote blue no matter who” is a phrase that admits qualifications? You’re still ignoring the hypocrisy of the same sort of centrists Democrats who used that slogan as a cudgel against people not falling over themselves to vote for other centrists candidates are now trying to make the phrase, “Vote blue no matter who, unless they happen to be socialists.”
You’re the one who decided to defend that stupid slogan to begin with.
“Vote Blue, No matter who,” doesn’t apply to Primaries, because EVERYONE is Blue.
It’s for the General Election, where a centrist Dem voter is faced with voting for a Blue Democratic Socialist, or a Red MAGA.
Now they’ll finally understand how we Unaffiliated Independents feel for Every election.

If they’re not worth arguing with then just downvote them and move on. Needing to get in the last word is pathetically immature.
