Mamdani, a proudly socialist 33-year-old, holds a 44-36 percent lead over over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo – who was hoping that New Yorkers had short memories, and were ready to re-elect the textbook centrist Democrat.
However, after the disaster of Trump’s first year back in the White House – with everyday American life interrupted by protests, immigration raids, corruption allegations and the unshakebale feeling that the nation is about to enter World War 3… It seems the pendulum is swinging back towards left-wing politics.
It appears that the success of Mamdani isn’t so much a vote against Trumpian politics, but more a vote against the stale nothingness of the Democrats top brass – who, while pitching themselves as the progressive option in America’s political system, very seldom action – or even – offer – left-wing policies.
Thats what you have to do. If they get voted out when they choose not to follow these policies then maybe they’ll learn it is a problem. “Vote blue no matter who” is extremely damaging
I voted green when Labour abandoned the working class in the UK
The opposition doesn’t believe in elections, so I don’t think that’s a viable plan.
And centrists don’t believe in primaries.
Just like the dems who constantly sue the greens to be off ballots?
TBF the RNC, such as The Badger Values PAC, did actively promote the Greens before the 2024 election, so yeah. Even David Duke supported Jill Stein while the European Greens publicly asked her to step down. She called both the DNC and GOP fascists, and if you believe that then idk if I can convince you otherwise because clearly factual evidence won’t change your opinions.
If you want fair election reform then vote blue, you’ll never get it with more than 40 Republicans in the senate.
This is inaccurate. We need 50 democrats to do away with the filibuster for good.
But even if we had 100 Democrats, they would find the no votes and you would make excuses.
