The NY Democratic Party needs to be entirely thrown in the trash and restarted. AOC and Mamdani etc can bring in a new era. Almost everyone else can get f ed.

The largest reason that Republicans are winning is that when the alternative looks like the NY Democratic Party it’s easy to say yeah at least the fascists will admit they are fascists.

The state party has overwhelmingly backed Mamdani. I don't really get how people can't just say "Schumer and Jeffries suck at their jobs" cause they just... Do? Not everything and everyone is out to get you etc.

But "purity tests" lol This level of "pragmatism" (pragmatic doesn't mean allowing everything) must be dead and boundaries are essential in every political party worldwide. Why not with Dems?

Yup - she voted against a bill that combined Ukraine aide with some other uses of money which didn’t make sense and instead advocated for isolation of Ukraine aide money. Understanding nuance is important and obviously lacking in your understanding of AOC and other progressives.

She and the rest of the Squad are performative clowns who are unelectable in 95% of the districts in America
