I wouldn't be surprised if the establishment decides open corruption is pretty cool actually and starts trying to rehabilitate Adams' image. Seems like trying to run both Adams and Cuomo is a fools errand and Adams is stubborn enough to stay in regardless so they'll have to go with him.

100%. The DNC are not your friends and havent been for a while now.

Agree 1000% ~ there's not much hope left.

It is too late for electoral politics to save democracy, if that's what you're talking about. People like Mamdani are important for the day after, but Trump will have to be deposed much like his ilk in Ukraine and Tunisia.

The Democrats are going to try to ratfuck him, sure. They're never going to get the message

But this is how we clean them out. This is why AOC and Bernie are doing rallies - so that every seat that comes up is filled with a progressive. And this is a big seat

As for it being too late... Yeah, we're fucked. But we can still make things better. There's no reason to yield ground, maga is incredibly incompetent - they can be beat.

And there will be an after

Yeah hope has security detail. I worry ICE going grab him and disappear him. Especially if it looks like he will win the general election.

He already has, up to this point. In fact, big parts of the party tried to support his competition. They failed. He's another in AOC mould. He may be good or great but there is an increasing trickle of progressive candidates.

The more that win by being good the more that can win without being so good. He may not be the Dems saviour but he's a step in the right direction and a worrying sign for Republicans and establishment politicians.

Oh yeah don’t worry - they’re already foaming at the mouth

Narrator: (just audible tears.)

Republicans will control the supreme court for the next 20 years. We will see couple of resignations soon so they can appoint younger, crazier judges. Hopefully progressive democrats will be able to stop the slide towards dictatorship but I don't except any swinging back.

He can't run for president since he wasn't born American.

Assuming it's not another bait and switch Dem like Fetterman and Sinema.

Uh, yeah? Inthesetimes is posted all the time. Had you not?

I'm not sure why you're linking to that non-profit. Are they the owners? It's there any reason you'd expect people to recognize them?

The latter no, but the former yes. I've seen their articles floating around here.

Either they listen to their voters and become a 'new' democratic party, or they'll continue bleeding numbers and die. Either way, it's still the beginning of the end.

You guys can't even give proper credit and ensure candidates anyone left of "not as fascist as the other party."

Eta: and sue to keep third party candidates off the ballots in swing states

If your intention is to bring new people into the Democratic party, you're doing a terrible job. And if it isn't and you just want to be condescending to straw men online, maybe don't tie that sort of attitude to the party. You can just be dickish in a personal capacity.
