OK then, so Mamdani's win was ALSO meaningless, right?
No.
It doesn't mean anything about a progressive push in the party?
Didn’t say that either. It’s not proof that the party is getting more progressive. He didn’t exactly earn their full throated endorsement.
You see how your arguments works both ways?
No. My “arguments” was that that one or two examples dont constitute a “proof” about any grander strategy being used.
. Why are you so upset that Dems won in VA?
Oh I see we’re just doing full blown straw men now.
In that case, it’s the same reason you are so upset about some shit that you didn’t say anything about.
They wouldn't have won there running Mamdani's campaign
That’s true. Virginians don’t care about free buses in New York. They’d probably have to make the campaign address Virginia.
because the entirety Virginia is the not the municipality of NYC.
Hard truths here in this post.
Fact is, the more progressive candidate won by 15 points. Not sure how this proves anything about what would have happened had an even more progressive candidate run.
They don’t really get into the “how” of it all with the protomolecule, far as I can remember.
Duarte has them going full out with their experiments on him, and it’s frankly never really clear that it’s mind controlling him at all.
It “shows him” how great it will be if all of civilization is one big hive mind, during his big “sleep” in Tiamats wrath, and when he wakes up in Leviathan Falls, he’s like “oh yeah, I just wasn’t thinking big enough!”
Frankly it fits his narcissistic tendencies pretty well, especially since he gets to be the one to make it happen.
Moreover, Democrats seem to have done little self-reflection over whether their aggressive push to implement their progressive values alienated more conservative Americans and contributed to their own defeat in 2024.
