Wow. Jeffries may not realize it, but he needs Mamdani more than Mamdani needs Jeffries. The world is changing, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, and you are on the wrong side of that change.

yes exactly ‼️‼️‼️‼️ Not every Dem voter wants blood. But the base does. Millions and millions of normie engaged voters. The Dem leadership, Schumer and Jeffries, have to harness that power or get rolled over by it.

Hakeem only needs Mandami more if his goal is a strong Democratic party but his real goal may be to just keep his AIPAC donors happy and keep the sweet flow of cash coming, with a weaker party also removing the pressure to do something that comes with having power.

What Americans want is to see The Bastards Responsible face justice. Trump won because he told his followers "vote for me & I'll get The Bastards Responsible." Kamala lost (and Schumercrats will continue to lose) because the most they're comfortable saying is "we won't be as nice to The Bastards."

Obviously Trump & Schumercrats sell different notions as to who "The Bastards Responsible" are. But Kamala was out there saying "He'll give tax cuts to the rich and I won't!" That wasn't enough. If she'd said "I'll tax Bastards hard. I'll take them to the damn cleaners" we'd have a woman President.

Unlike the ghouls you listed, Mamdani seems like he’d go back to organizing after his run for office. MLK had power and wasn’t elected. So there is power to have out of office if you aren’t running just to have more power (see Beto, Yang, and Buttigieg.)
aug 17, 2025, 10:43 pm • 0 0 • view
You seek more power so that you can do something with it. The NYC mayor can do more than someone who is not the NYC mayor. Therefore, Jeffries has no use for Mamdani unless he is elected. If elected, Jeffries won't have as much influence over Mamdani as he'd with a Cumo.

That's always been an inherent vulnerability w/having Dem leadership from places like NYC or SF. One of his core jobs is party-wide fundraising/not alienating large dollar donors, which invariably means he, Schumer, or Pelosi end up tacking way to the right of their actual voting constituency.

Neither of them need each other. Mamdani needs to win the mayoral race and prove to the world that his ideas can work in a broken system. Jeffries needs to retake the house and the last thing he needs to do that is for Democrats to be labeled as socialist. They need to win in purple districts.

And most importantly, call out the tactic by name, in real time: defuse its effect by countering it head-on, to show it's not going to work. Then move on to real issues. Dems too often end up back on their heels, reacting to GOPs driving the narrative in damaging directions.

If you want to retake the House, following corrupt centrist sell-outs like Jeffries is the wrong way to go. The Dems' base is bigger than the republicans', so the way to win is to drive turnout by energizing the base, not the same Republican Lite crap that has repeatedly failed.
aug 16, 2025, 6:57 am • 1 0 • view
I know that is a theory for the case. Run a far left campaign across the country. The problem is every house seat has a different dynamic. Running a Mamdani in every house seat in New York might work but it won’t work across the country. The presidential election is different.

After research, rent control only applies to tenants who have lived in the building since 1971, or inherited it from someone who lived there since 1971, such as parents. Mamdani is too young for these conditions. Rent stabilized means he meets income limits & amount of rent increase is limited.

So, according to my understanding, in NYC there are rent-controlled apartments, and rent stabilized apartments, and they aren’t the same. And Mamdani lives in a rent- stabilized apartment and met the income requirements. In other words, this is all propaganda.
