Zohran Mamdani's campaign is making politics seem fun, worthwhile and inclusive. No wonder the Democratic Party is rejecting him like a foreign organism.

The left: were gonna primary you all. You're all old, stupid and incompetent. Also the left: why aren't you loving us and cheering us?!?!

Well, the Democrats are unquestionably old. In terms of their intelligence and competence, you might look to the fact that they've lost twice to **Donald Trump**.

I love how the ultimate focus of the left is "election results" when.... how many federal races have you won? Maybe they're not the only incompetent ones? That road goes two ways.

Well, FDR did pretty well, leading to 80 years in which the Democrats made sure never to nominate someone like him again

A. 80 years ago? And "dems made sure"? Why didn't you just beat them in primaries? B. And the guy who did concentration camps inside the US?

That's a fair question, and the answer is that by historical standards there really is no left in America that could run a candidate. Left politics has always been based in unions, and unions are weaker in America than in any comparable country. We're more like Honduras than Canada.

And yes, the guy who did concentration camps is by far the most progressive and successful president in American history, which says a lot about America. The center of a huge empire like the U.S. will always have essentially reactionary politics.

I feel like we still have some "historical standards" still at play for much of the nation. And every time the gop wins, it just gets worse.

Speaking as an unquestionably old Democrat--my parents marched for Eugene McCarthy when I was a kid--I'm all for Mamdami. I wish the party leaders would pull their heads out, though.

Funny, I was just thinking that same thing. Why are people so upset with him? He’s getting people actively involved and in a good way.

But the Democrats are embracing Newsom who is having fun at Trump's expense every day.

Please tell me in what way the Democratic Party is “rejecting him like a foreign organism”? I see a lot of ppl seeming to say that but no actual evidence

Tits on a bull, I swear. $$$, that's all they care about, $$$. You know what they are afraid of? Taxes. It's weird how your average knuckle-dragging MAGAt wouldn't pay taxes, but all the establishment Democrats would. Hmmm? Establishment Democrats love Trump.

Hot take: The DNC exists as controlled opposition and to crush anyone to the left of them.
