It amazes me how the "Blue No Matter Who" types are strangely silent about Coumo running as independent.
He isn’t elected yet, is he?
Just as the Democratic nominee.
He still has to win the general election and looks like cumbucket coumo is going to run against him as an independent to split the vote and hope that the Republican can manage to win.
Hey thats offensive, reproductive material shouldn’t be mistaken for shit even if golden plated.
Cuomo and Zohran have different electorates though. Cuomo is going to split the bill with Adams and the other batshit Republican.
~~Lol. Idiots don't even know how ranked choice works. You can't split the vote in an RCV campaign (spoiler effects still exist, but they're much harder to directly do like this)~~
~~Even the fucking polling is getting it wrong.~~
Nvm, shit FPTP for generals
"You can be cocky or wrong, but not both" 😛
Good on you for the edit though
They're losing their minds because there's no rational reason to keep the current system going...
It's impossible to keep it going at the current pace. Doesn't matter if the wealthy want it to last forever. They can't keep accumulating more and more finite and necessary resources.
Eventually the current economic system will go away.
Just a matter of how that happens, and who is (figuratively and maybe literally) left standing when the dust settles
No rational reason for the working class.
Thing is, the DNC doesn't represent the working class.
Just as well, the owning class who they do represent knows that the system won't last forever. They don't care about forever. They just care about "long enough to where I won't have to face consequences". That's what they are betting on.
Which is why it's up to the people they exploit to rise up and directly give the ruling class parasites some consequences.
They only understand scarcity when it makes money for them. They treat the economics textbook as a Bible, literally, they just pick what parts they like and ignore the rest...
It's the same as any other group that manages to accumulate this much.
They just refuse to believe it's not sustainable, and if you don't agree with them. Then they fire you if you worked for them, if you were a politician they found a competitor to knock you out of office and say the lies they wanted to hear.
Which is the crux of the issue.
They've spent decades and billions of bribes to make sure there were two options, and both would do what billionaires tell them to. But the billionaires no longer control both parties.
Hell, they arguably don't control either, trump just usually agrees with them on his own.
Lol the capitalist owning class absolutely still controls both parties, and Trump is performing exactly as expected for their interests.
You have one party that still wants to maintain the capitalist status quo, and the other who see that it is in decay and want to fast track the decline into fascism to entrench their power before the working class revolts.
It's almost like the American people are beginning to realize the 'Free Market' is not in their best interest after all.
It was never free. That was a lie. When they say “free market” they mean “whoever has the most money can do whatever they want”.
To the Capitalist, “free market” means “freedom to oppress and prevent any and all competition”. It’s nothing more than Randian-tinged doublespeak.
True enough. American's have been given just enough at large to think of themselves as 'global elite', and so it's no surprise how many of us act a bit spoiled once we're faced more directly with the reality.
At the very least perhaps we'll get a wakeup call, for those who need it. I hope.
This is your friendly remind that one of the reasons for demonizing and subsequently genociding the natives was that people would regularly join them for a better quality of life.
The system knows it's terrible and the only way to maintain itself is to make, by any means necessary, all other systems unobtainable.
I like Mamdani but not to the extent that I can endorse unironic joker memes.
When is the actual election so I can ignore these posts until then as not to get my hopes up?
Nov 4th. Unfortunately we have a while to go lol
Bloody hell. Can you not just run the election and then it’s done? It’s even worse than US football for making you wait forever for anything to happen.
He hadn't been elected, he just won the primary.
I see the republicans losing their minds but I see a lot of democrats backing and endorsing him.
Top Dems are split, half of them are trying to back Mr. 13 Sexual Scandals
top dems (establishment ones) are going in on it https://www.huffpost.com/entry/top-democrat-racist-tirade-zohran-mamdani_n_6861aab5e4b08e0b4a741231
Lots of people are endorsing him.
Oh damn, that was actually less than I thought it was going to be. Only five National figures. All of which are on the outs with the main party. That's worrying.
Unfortunately it is also to be expected.
There is this narrative people are pushing all over that the entire world is against Mamdani and that the DNC is on some crusade against him, and the people pushing it desperately want it to be true with all of their being despite 3 out of 83 of the democrat state legislators being the only ones to speak out against him.
But I only see people talking about how cool he is and how nice it will be to have him instead of Cuomo in charge for a change.
