‘Attacking the future of the party while Republicans strip every poor person of Medicaid in the middle of the night,’ by way of example, is not acceptable leadership. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.

It's a non-issue in the real world. Mamdani has addressed this clearly and only a dishonest AIPAC lowlife would disagree. A real Dem Leader says"this isn't a thing, Jon. You know what's a real thing? Donald Trump throwing 12 million people off their health insurance. That's what I care about."

Because they donate. Funding is how elections are won. Every single race from city council of a rural town to US President needs money. There is filing fees, merch, yard signs, advertising, websites, food for volunteers, phone bank centers, block walks, etc. Everything runs on donations.

Trump had more money because of SuperPACS. Musk spent a huge chunk to get Trump elected. It's not just campaign expenditures you need to take into account, but the SuperPACS who decide the winners. americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires....

The problem is not that the donors are courted, but that they are allowed to dictate party policy and platforms. They control the politicians. We can thank Rahm Emanuel and Bill Clinton for that.

Hakeem Jeffries is from NYC, born in Brooklyn. Hakeem represents his NYC district in Congress. Hakeem could not likely get elected in any red state in America or in any rural area or in any small town. So, it’s difficult to try to equate a victory in a Dem. primary in NYC to the national level.
