    That would be fantastic. The first time in my 56 years we would see a democrat actually caring about the social good rather than pander to it for “vote blue” dollars - that clearly dont work

    If the old guard of the democratic party are shitting the bed over his victory. MAGA must be absolutely mortified at the thought. God I want absolutely no compromise socialists in charge.

      Even if the no compromise socialists do end up compromising, it will still be a better result than what we have been getting from democrats for decades because at least hard left socialists would start from a strong position, rather than a position most reasonable people might find agreeable only to get yanked to the right by the fucking fascists.

    Don’t threaten me with a good time

    Also: how do they not get that he’s convincing Republican voters who have been rage voting for almost as long as the guy himself has been alive?

    Seriously: fucking help solve people’s problems in a real and immediate sense and shocker - they can be persuaded to vote for you.

      Democratic Party usually: “Vote blue no matter who.”

      Democratic Party with Mamdani: “Yabbut…” They are absolutely losing their minds over this. Refusing to endorse him and will probably try to sabotage him. Their reaction to this is exposing how truly full of shit they really are.

    This is the best piece of political news in 2025 so far.

    Roll with it. Hard.

    They’re too up their asses to realize that’s a tactical error on their part. Make progressives the new face of the Democratic party, and sell the shit out of progressive values, stated clearly and plainly.

    Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.

    But national Republicans have already spotlighted Tuesday’s primary. “Every single Democrat now owns Mamdani’s radical socialist agenda to defund police, abolish prisons & stop ICE from deporting criminals,” the committee posted later, quoting House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries congratulating Mamdani.

    Guess I’m socialist.

    Free advertising! When I see which points Fox “News” presents to make him look “evil”, it is hard to find better endorsements.
