    I love how this asshole talks about “cannibalizing support” when he’s openly against the officially recognized Democratic nominee for mayor.

    What a fucking joke. I hope to fuck he gets primaried too. We need to stop letting these corpo democrats suck up all the oxygen in the room.

    Nice, I think this is the most honest confirmation that Mamdani is in fact the best candidate.

      If they don’t respect the candidate elected in the primaries, then the party has to go. I ain’t voting blue no matter who any more. I fell for that these last 3 elections and look how far that took us.

    Democratic leadership is controlled opposition, there’s no other way to say it

    Just like the Republican factions in The Spanish Civil War attacking each other for having the wrong ideology while the Fascists tightened their grip.

        With a wide brush you can paint the picture like this: The Republicans were left wing communists (or at least they wanted a democratic republic) and the Nationalists were right wing fascists.

        Nationalists won and they had a dictator (Franco) in Spain from 1939 to 1975.

      The lesser part maybe true but so is the evil part.

      Always has been, otherwise it wouldn’t be called the “lesser-evil” party, it’d be called the “good” party.

      We’ve known for decades (and I do mean everyone by ‘we’, I’m not even American) that the democrats are also corporate bootlickers. It’s just that their policies tend to be less anti-human generally. For a while, it was clear: Vote dem, get some consumer protections and slow improvements in healthcare, LGBT rights, etc. Vote republican, get every good thing repealed and new anti-consumer, anti-lgbt, anti-healthcare legislation introduced. Now the dems want to cater to the right for votes and the “lesser” part of “lesser evil” is starting to diminish. They’re still the lesser evil, but they’re also more in the way of true progress than ever.

    Its clear that Democrats are now the center (maybe center-right) party and there is no mainstream liberal party in the US

    By this guys logic shouldn’t he be supporting the winner of the primary and admonishing those who say they will vote 3rd party instead of the other way around?

      Mamdani is the officially recognized Democratic nominee. So third party is exactly what this asshole is advocating for.

        The endless loop of self defeating thinking.
        Plenty of parties start with a few percent and then grow.
        Yet the banana republic keeps fooling itself with this BS and delude themselves they can fix this party.
        Really shouldn’t complain then, you get what you deserve.
        No sympathy here.

          In a FPTP election system? OK, let’s hear it. What are some parties that grew to power under FPTP elections.

    I am so sick of seeing people abuse the word “tremendous” like this following in asshat’s footsteps, but at least it’s a nice, straightforward way for me to identify people to hit with a baseball bat if I can ever get away with it.
