The Dem gerontocracy should be and needs to be "shitting themselves" cause each and every one of these older-than-dirt career politicians needs to be run out of politics entirely.
And a party willing to not put all its resources to preventing them from winning. Mamdani's example is inspiring, and he's likely going to win, but part of this is because his opponents are all toxic. In a more serious contest this sort of party meddling can and will tank progressive candidates to the benefit of Republicans.
Exactly. They’re already going to get the votes of the people who only pay enough attention to vote Working Families in the general election. We just need to replace those candidates with progressives in the primaries. It’s shouldn’t be too difficult with the current <15% attendance. Mamdani saw a whopping 30% turnout.
The establishment pushing against him is a good thing. Think about what happened the first time Trump announced his candidacy. Voters love to vote for candidates that the establishment hates.
