The Democrats should message that Democratic socialism is not Communism and is not the boogeyman. This a so outdated. We need to move forward as a country and have government work for people and show how it was working for people until the current administration started destroying it.

There they go again, vilifying words they don’t understand. What a bunch of mooks. Not sure what a mook is, but I know I’m supposed to hate them.

Socialism is good. You can't make it bad. Not possible for people actually aware of the definition.

His landslide win SHOULD make the establishment Dems feel something. They deserve all the criticism they receive. Not even the main transgender Democrat will stand up for transgender people. Establishment Democrats are a joke.

Pfft. They don’t need Mamdani. They accuse EVERY Democrat of being a communist, Marxist, socialist.

In an era when Democrats have apparently given up on changing political battle tactics, Mamdani’s win is a game changer. His message is refreshing! For years I’ve screamed Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way! Mamdani is Leading the way! Bravo!

Cry more, libs. We who are really on the left will be over here enjoying a candidate who truly connects with the people and effects real change in ways that improve their lives.

Literally everyone outside of the MAGA circle will be used as a punching bag. That's literally what they do.

Yup - so the Dems gonna have to get good at batting it away, and counter attacking with the utter failures of neo liberalism. That should be the New Democrat politics. Pathetic fence sitting is over - it loses.

The news is reporting this all wrong. Politicians like Mamdani are the future. His win is a good sign.

Does GA, NC, etc voters care what happens in NYC? No. They care about FEMA, having cheap labor for handiwork, etc.
