Why is it always 'no purity tests' for shitty mediocre candidates who do surface level drivel but actually decent candidates are never 'good enough' for Dem voters? Basically: the acceptance for Newsom is staggering in contrast to Mamdami not getting support from leaders in his own state

Yeah, when you criticize Newsom liberals pull out the classic "vote blue no matter who" canard. When prominent liberals with significant amounts of institutional power within the party refuse to back Mamdani, liberals will say those power brokers are now just some guys and don't represent the party.

Even those the same guys will back stale leftover candidates just to retain some actual power. Hey Clyburn!
