Sorry if that freaks you out, it really shouldn’t.

Or we can stop pretending that what works on the NYC constituency will work on the entire country. We can ALSO stop pretending that Mamdani is the only type of Democrat to win an election - which again, he did in a race the Democrat candidate was heavily favored to win. NYC electing a Republican mayor in the Trump era is ridiculous. It just would not happen.

Giuliana back then was NOT the Trump-era dingbat he became.

I'm so tired of this "one-size-fits-all" lazy bullshit. Democrats are generally friendlier to workers' rights than Republicans, that's really not arguable. Yet, these people are voting against their own interests. Which means Republicans are gaining ground with their culture war bullshit. That's why Democrats have lost when they did because even if they do support collective bargaining, workers' rights or higher minimum wage people STILL vote for Republicans because of their culture war nonsense.

The economy was undoubtedly better under Biden than it was under Trump and we STILL have to hear this bullshit that about Democrats are the "real" enemy.

What "freaks me out" is losing control on this country entirely, which you is what will happen if we continue to be inflexible dumbasses who demand absolute purity "or else".

    It's hard to follow the disperate threads of your rant here but your core argument seems to still be that a working class agenda can't win in the majority of the US, which is just wrong. And elsewhere in this thread you're associating dem soc working class politics with an abandonment of social issues, which is also just wrong.

    If the rise of a cohesive left politics in this country truly worries you I wouldn't fret, I'm sure the DNC and Israel will still be generating corporatist ghouls for you to enthusiastically pull their lever, for many more years to come.
