'Don't Sabotage Mamdani': 30,000+ Petitioners Urge Gilibrand to Get Behind Progressive NYC Mayoral Candidate
Progressive supporters pressure centrist Democrats to back Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor after winning primary.
what the fuck, 30 thousand people? you don't tell a klan member to please get behind a minority candidate. you tell them to resign in shame and get the fuck out.
she fucking wore a white robe with a pointy hoodie and spewed the most vile shit you've heard since dubya left the office and you sign a petition for her to grace Mamdani with her disgusting xenophobic racist ass endorsement?
what's next, should he parade liz cheney around in his general election campaign?
I am just so sick of Gilibrand. I still cannot forgive her for what she did to Al Franken. And now this?
The establishment dems are not an opposition party, their "opposition" to the right is entirely stage and theater. They don't want socialism in any capacity, they are paid by the exact same people as those who pay off the Republicans and they despise people like Mamdani and will do everything they can to sabotage anyone trying to make actual progress in politics.
We would do far better with more broad, grassroots, country-wide efforts to primary every sitting Dem senator and many in congress. In fact, that may be our only hope at this point of saving the country.
If progressive are going to gain a foothold in American politics, it'll be despite and not because of the DNC. For as shitty as it is, Trump put everyone in place by winning again and again. He selectively sought retribution, but mostly took them and put them in line. Now they can't be happier to go to bat for him.
The only difference will be the GenX Democratic elite will say they always believed in these ideas and are glad to have helped in the fight. They wouldn't have, but they need to save face.
Stop getting mad that the established democratic leadership lies and cheats. Call it out and get back on message. I think the messaging is stronger than their relexive grasps to hold on to power despite having no vision of the future.
lol normies gonna' learn how conservative Democrats actually are ... again... for the tenth time...
... oh god, they're going to learn nothing.
We shouldnt have to sign a fucking petition for members of the same party to support the fucking candidate
or to accept a petition delivery from what would be a voting organization with no other option but to support their future DNC candidates, or an organization that could volunteer to help turnout for such candidates.
Unfortunately, the establishment Dems have the desires of the voters in one hand and they're weighing that against hundreds of millions of dollars in soft money in the other, and so far the money has an uninterrupted win streak.
And Gilibrand has already clearly signaled which side she favors.
Never forget Hillary v. Bernie.
That was when it kicked off in earnest.
I still think that if there's one single person who deserves more of the blame than anyone else for Trump becoming president in the first place, it's Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Never forget.
He’s already gotten endorsements from some of the most influential progressives. Fuck the centrists. NY wants change that benefits the working class.
It's less that she's a centrist, more that she's an AIPAC beneficiary. She's sponsored by Israel, just like Schumer.
It’s less that she’s a centrist, more that she’s an AIPAC beneficiary.
That particular Venn diagram has a lot of overlap.
That is not what matters most in a NYC mayor.
I for one think that Islamophobia is as serious an offense as sexual misconduct and that Gillibrand should be cancelled and resign, just like Al Franken.
She's just saying the only part out loud because she doesn't have to worry about re-election until 2030.
She needs a primary challenger in 2030. Maybe Mamdani himself.
