Wha...

Mamdani is the DNC candidate. Why is he telling himself he won't endorse himself in this fanfic?

He literally went to breakfast with the literal federal DNC congressmen this week and after that they've been retweeting each other things like "Proud of our Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. Let’s win!”

JFC with this constant imaginary divide between the "evil corporate dnc", ya'll are smelling smoke and screaming fire when you're actually just having a stroke.

The media is presenting the current DNC as identical to prior ones ...

Because they're scared of a FDR like movement from the current one.

And ignorant people on social media dont know how the DNC works or what a chair even does.

We won the war over the party, the billionaires lost.

So now they're banking on how uninformed voters are so they can convince them to double down on changing DNC leadership so neoliberals get the wheel again.

You can't explain it to them, because if they weren't idiots they'd already know all of this considering were talking about people that choose to discuss politics online.

You'd think they'd be up to date on what happened six months ago, but they have no idea

Stop gaslighting progressives just because your wing of the party is lobbing Islamophobic hate at Mamdani.

You honestly don't get?

Like. This isn't a bit you're doing, you legitimately don't understand?

Understand what? That we're supposed to accept the smears of people like Jeffries and Gilibrand as "endorsements" just because centrists want to maintain the ridiculous fiction that party leadership doesn't work against progressives?

I only saw your comment because I signed in after the page loaded.

So I'll go ahead and answer your question:

That the people currently smearing Mamdaninarent "the party" they're the ones whose wing just got the boot from the DNC. That's why they created project 29, they're desperate for Dems to focus on something they control, and they don't control the DNC anymore.

The way the DNC (the party) is structured, is the Chair has 100% control and zero accountability.

In February Ken Martin was seated chair.

Here's what "the party" is saying about Mamdani:

Amna Nawaz:

What do you take away from Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral Democratic primary win? Are there lessons there for the party or the races?

Ken Martin:

Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there's a lot of lessons.

One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can't just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There's no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we're for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.

And that's really critical. And I think that's one of the lessons from Mamdani's campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.

I think that's one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they're at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.

There's a lot to learn from that campaign, and I'm excited to learn more.

For now at least, the party is back on the side of the people.

And that's not even getting into the other stuff he's doing. You won't hear it on MSM, because MSM is owned by billionaires. They'd rather have a third trump term than a progressive.

Don't fall for their propaganda that today's DNC has anything to do with the DNC from 2024 and earlier.
