Almost like there is a large, unmet demand for leftist politicians at the national level. Hmm, no, couldn't possibly be it.

Definitely. Because where else are we going to find leaders? Not in congress. Bernie's cool and all, but also old as shit. Would've been pretty great if his nomination wasn't stolen. The only other heroes we have are dead. I watched a video by CerosTV about it yesterday. I recommend it.

I'm an old dude, and it isn't just young people who feel hopeless about our elected representaives, and want new, dynamic leadership. I may not have as long a future as they do, but I'd like what time I have left to not be terrifying.

The young desperately want someone, anyone, to actually believe in... and it isn't Chuck "strongly worded letter" Schumer or some other limp and ineffectual bureaucrat trying to do damage control for the Democrat party.

Watching establishment Democrats freak out over him has been very satisfying.

Crazy to think people want representatives who actually put forth ideas to HELP THEM...

I'm 35, I live in North Carolina, and the only TikTok videos I watch are Zohran Momdani's....... Just give me something to hope for, people. And I'm not unique. There are a Fuck Ton of me.

I saw a DSA Mamdani sign up in a train station in California yesterday, he's definitely got national exposure.

I'm old enough that I look at him and think "oh he would be such a nice son in law" 😄

I met a waitress in Paris who reminded me to vote for him. I was syrprised someone overseas cared that much.

Good for Zohran. Hope he wins.

I say vote him in and let’s see what happens.

Its such a stupid shit show where we have one side of Democrats pushing for healthcare and food for all, another side of Democrats refusing to provide trans support and want more big business, and then Republicans who say fuck all those things except businesses.

I remember when I was in college and people were clamoring on the Ron Paul bandwagon, entirely because he was a high profile politician from a bright red state that wasn't rabidly pro-war. Like, the demand for something that wasn't (Republican: KILL'EM ALL!) or (Democrat: Let's only kill as many people as is fiscally sensible) was so overwhelming that Paul's dogshit economic and social politics failed to register for millions of people who probably should have known better (myself included).

Over twenty years later, I feel like we're getting something of the reverse. A guy whose politics would normally rub GenZ / GenA liberals the wrong way and whose faith/tan would enrage young conservatives is getting a Katamari-like following across the political spectrum entirely because he's outside the increasingly narrow R/D divide.

Was screwing around with IPTV last night, so the Cuomo ad against him.

"DANGEROUS PLANS" ohhhhh

the ad was infuriating. the guy wants to be a half decent human and they need to brand that as danger. seriously fuck these guys.

I pray to the god that does not exist that he does not get assassinated, and if they try I want them to fail so hard that the assassins kill one another instead.

On the one hand I'm farther to his left and am critical of some of his campaign decisions, and am not optimistic about his abilities to overcome the capitalists through purely electoral means.

On the other hand I'd be happy to see him prove me wrong.
