And if/when they do endorse Mamdani, will you update your priors? I'm personally guessing you and everyone else harping on this will not reflect, even for a minute, on if your whole internal model of Dems that you use to bash on them for internet clout is maybe wrong.

it would depend on the nature and context of that endorsement! if they begrudgingly offer a tepid endorsement in the face of pressure, no. if they enthusiastically endorse, yes. priors get updated when you see new information that’s inconsistent with them.

also, as an aside, the idea that people who are expressing disappointment with specific members of dem leadership are doing it for “internet clout” rather than out of genuine concern for the effects of their behavior on the country is deeply telling.
