Because Democratic elites prefer Trump to Mamdani.

Remember this next time they tell you to "vote Blue no matter who."
-
Because they're a bunch of fucking shills

Nah, they supported Obama and Harris.
It's because he threatens their corporate owners.

Notice anything about the POC they do back?

Money. Stop asking stupid questions.

Democrats have their fingers in their ears and their eyes closed. Mamdani isn’t just going to win, he’s going to start a wave of Dem Soc candidates across the country

1: They have a whole bunch of voter base analysis experts who will stick tooth and nail to the theory that if they go too far left they'll alienate part of their voter base and lose votes, even though it has been demonstrated again and again that trying to maintain the status quo is a failure that lead to Trump's election to begin with and so is "playing the center" against an increasingly radical right.
2: They're also owned by the Corporations even if they're not as open about it like the Republicans are and do not want to actually fix any of the issues the people actually want fixed. It feels like they're just waiting for Trump to die, MAGA to collapse and them to win the next elections without ever making a single effort to do anything for the people.

I can't upvote this comment hard enough.

The influx of monied interests that fled the GOP during the first Trump term are largely to blame, IMO. They are rotting the Democratic Party from the inside, pushing to keep the failed economic policies of the Reagan-era, and the DNC have gotten fat and lazy feeding off their teet.
It is embarrassing to think that the most progressive policy that the US Congress was able to pass this millennium was the ACA back in ‘09.

Because he's a leftist who's apparently sincerely promising to actually work for the benefit of ordinary people and appears ready to actually do that if he wins.
Democrats like to pretend that they're all of those things too, but really all they ever try to be is somewhat less awful than Republicans, which is an easy enough task that they can generally succeed.
But if they end up being compared with someone like Mamdani, they're going to be revealed for the complacent, corrupt conservatives they actually are.

They are beholden to their capitalist masters. Democratic leadership only goes as far left as the donor class will allow. Mamdani scares the wealthy, so the Democratic leadership doesn’t want him to succeed.

Here are the people who have endorsed him from his page:

Then there's organized labor. Most of the city's major labor unions have already endorsed Mamdani. A total of 67 unions and political organizations, along with nine state senators, 17 assembly members and 16 council members, or roughly one-third of the City Council, have thrown their support behind him.

Because Democrats are one half of the one party state in America

Because democrats are puppets paid for by the oligarchs to do nothing for political theater
