‘Talk about affordability’: Warren boosts Mamdani as model for Democratic victory.

That is because the Democrat Party Elitists have lost their ranks and need to back fill with whatever is out there, even muslims
She's just more Dem trash. Still hasn't condemned the bipartisan funded Israeli genocide of Palestine. #GenocidalUniparty
Yes she has. Read her posts.
She's never stated she opposes Israel's genocide of Palestine. Ever.
Try google..
I've done some research myself. I haven't found her to actually say the word. But a year ago she did state it pretty much constitutes as a genocide. She did recently vote with other senate dems to block arms, even though we know it'll go no where. 🤷♂️ www.commondreams.org/news/senate-...
She called it a g-cide over a year ago. www.politico.com/news/2024/04...
Right. And since then, after being coached? Silence. Which as we all know is complicity. #GenocidalUniparty
Good!!
Elizabeth Warren always gets it right.
That’s mother.
We all know if Elizabeth Warren is doing it, then it must be right, she’s such a relatable person and never lies
Yes !!
Careful, buddy. She'll do you like she did Bernie 🐍🐍🐍
Imagine Warren as Senate Dem leader. Shit might actually get done.
Warren has the right idea. Those aging out need to become supporters and mentors of newer members of our political arenas.
Elizabeth Warren hell yeah she knows this is a smart move.
And Buffett is a REAL successful Business Man. Not a fake or failed one
So were finally pushing true people policy politicians , its way overdue !
I think she would have made a good president.
Politely disagree. She’s too cerebral and differentiated. She’s highly intelligent and eloquent but struggles to dumb it down (and no, no leader should have to, but here we are). I think she’s most effective as a strong policy anchor behind people more media-effective.
If I could remind you , she was the only one who put actual working proposals when running for the office . While everyone else were throwing blanks .
Working proposals reminder , only politicians that had true data on paper and worked with the everyday peoples issues was Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren! No reminder here ! Were talking about majority here no doing this !
She is a fucking snake
Hundred percent
Sadly most Dems in congress would not have supported her policies tho.
It seems to me like the establishment Democrats have to please their corporate donors and they care more about that than the welfare of the people. We need to change that! Get rid of citizens united!
But majority of the country we dont hire for bribery !
Yup
Nor most voters it seems
Wonder if they are starting to finally wake up. In WV more Dem primary voters voted for Sanders than for Clinton.
West Virginia hasn’t elected anyone but Republicans to the House of Representatives since before 2016, and both of their senators are now Republicans as well.
My point was that the Dems there preferred Sanders & when some were interviewed after the election - they had voted for trump.
It is not uncommon in the States for people to register as Republicans or Democrats for primaries so they can vote for some candidate they think will lose against their preferred candidate. Would not be surprised if some registered as Democrats to select Bernie but vote for Trump in Nov.
Why would these people want be interviewed about it then? They thought Clinton was just more of the same old thing that hadn't worked for the people - and they were probably right. I find it hard to believe many in WV would bother going thru' all that - they have a lot more to worry about.
Are we seriously still talking about 2016?
Some Trump voters here would have voted for Bernie Some trump voters voted for Obama twice in WV. A lot of it is people viewing the candidate as being against the establishment. Populism is key.
And far too many Dems think that being "centrist" is the key. Well trump has proved them wrong twice.
Progressive Democratic candidates still lose big in WV. It’s populist but still a very conservative state.
This is why I voted for her in the presidential primaries. Warren works for the people, not Donnie John.
Republican govt for a generation is what you’ll get if you elect a bunch of anti-Americans like this communist.
Warren should have been president. She had the best ideas of all the candidates.
the @democrats.org should 100% take notes because the fact their approval numbers are lower than the maga terrorists is not looking good. They need to not bash him, but embrace him. PERIOD
Evangelical Satanic Messiah Donald Trump gave US massive vicious rich Republican tax cuts and this, which I found out yesterday was even worse than I thought. We are in a perfect storm of greed, hate, torture, murder and genocide.

Too bad Politico is still hand-wringing about Democratic fundraising to pay attention to what Warren is saying...
❤️
Good for you Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts. Finally someone has the potential backbone to stand up for Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City. Way to go
I was proud to vote for her in the primary. She’d have been an awesome president. And, she’s spot-on about Mamdani. I envy NYC.
Bernie bros about to struggle session you
Me too- hell, literally had to wait four hours to do so. And, if I just turned in my ballot, (the independent election/primary ballot was a single thing), I could've dropped and left- but because I wanted the party ballot, I had to wait in line to change a single box. And I did.
At this point, what do we do with this Whistleblower testimony! youtube.com/shorts/h7bAy...
Affordable housing reduces homeless. Large Corps need to pay more in taxes(20% minimum) so there is not so many people starving in this country. This administration's war on everyone but their own is a mental disorder. Mentally ill like the guy in the yt house.
She my @warren.senate.gov senator!! I vote for her every time!!
Thank you, Senator Warren, for not treating him like a pariah.
That’s because he is promising NYers that he is going to fight for them. He is what the working class needs.
Crazy Pocahontas isn't even a new Yorker
We could have had her in 2020. I bet the country would be in a much better place today...
Were it not for Mamdani’s support for Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran …
Will we get Universal Basic Invome in NY?
You go, Elizabeth 👍🏻👏🏻
Be careful Ms Warren - you may regret this endorsement in the future.
What a farce
Model for Dem victory? Wining a primary in NYC is not representative of the rest of America. A real test is Mamdani running in a state wide election in FL, OH, WI, or PA. That is a Dem model for victory.
Most people can’t start out by running in a statewide election. They usually start with a smaller office and work their way up. I think MAMDANI will do that eventually. He is pretty popular.
I know, but exceptions are more common. Most notably winner US Senate - e.g, JD Vance, Tuberville, Warnock, M. Kelly, Gov. - Scott (FL), Youngkin (VA) Last NYC mayor win any statewide election DeWitt Clinton, who served as Mayor of NYC (1803-1815) & later became Gov. of NY (1817-1822, 1825-1828).
What is this critique? It’s still a victory if it doesn’t happen in every jurisdiction for every office. It doesn’t have to be representative of the rest of the country for him to win the mayoral election, and he’s not running for president.
Not a critique of Mamdani. Mandani will be good for NYC and I’m voting for him. Saying Mamdani’s style is a Dem model is disingenuous. Where does this model work? It may work in +10 Dem districts. However, in +2 Dem or +2 GOP districts does this model win? Does this model work to win Senate races?
This used to be the model. Secure your base some, then appeal to enough of the middle chunk of voters to swing the election. The major news networks still cover every race like this mythical swing voter decides everything.Trump showed us that people are looking to be led. Anything authentic sounding
Is better than carefully crafted platitudes. If you can create exciting ideas, and capture people’s imaginations and hopes the swing voters will follow the leader. The Dems put everything on the median voter strategy in 2016 with Hilary over Bernie. The strategy worked again one more time
In 2020 only because Trump was so atrocious and that he actually botched a pandemic. Harris in 2024 started out trying to sound different, but was quickly reeled in by the consultants and focus group testers that she didn’t sound authentic anymore either
I remember when I voted for Elizabeth in the primary… but , NooOOO!!! We want Joe, said the Democrat hierarchy… just a reminder. 🤨
Still proudly wearing my Warren for President shirt!
Mistake. Socialism does not work in the US. Big mistake
Well..... Capitalism brought us to trump, so maybe folks are realizing there's a better path forward.
As a Bostonian, I'm glad to have Warren as a Senator, but I'm still pissed that in MA we pay 50% above the national average for our electricity.
And eggs - 4.49 a dozen/MA, 2.97 a dozen/RI.
Still cheaper than NYC
Still less than what we pay just over the border in NH. Rates went up substantially and the Public Utilities Commission which is supposed to keep it in check rubber stamped the increase.
🙈🙈🙈
Like her have doubts about him
That is a pair of lying bullshit artists...fuck em both!!!
Weird how Warner did this when she was one of the 29 democratic Senators who backed up AIPAC.
But the DNC, as always, won't listen.
I didn't think I could love her more. She is so special.
👍💕🫡🙏
This guy is Americans problem. This is not my business, but I'm highly recommend for Americans citizens to not believe in fairy tales. 😁
look the guy who barely speaks english has something to say about the mayorship of new york
Come back when you speak the language, bud. Better yet, don’t come back at all since it’s none of your goddamn business.
it's funny, a guy who, although he has good English, talks complete crap, has no common values with Western civilization, promises complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality and he's ok. You losers give yourself away when you react to a pathetic comment
All of this didn’t happen, dumbo. Take your damn meds.
fucking wEsTeRn ValUeS you mean like slavery, imperialism, white supremacy, rape apologism, and homophobia? That “Western culture”? How dare you speak.
all your arguments are empty nonsense of an uneducated person. How dare you to speak when you are brainless?

Once again, you are dumb.
Another ad hominem. Try again.
Sorry I'm don't wanna to spend my time talking with retarded terrorists.

I'm sorry, I'm just gunshy..... we ran 2 very qualified women for President and lost .... I'm not sure if Americans will vote for a Socialist candidate for anything other than a local position.
Politico sucks GOP scrotum like a baby sucks a nipple.
AFFORDABILITY = COMMUNISM!
Warren kneecapped the progressive agenda in 2020 when she made false claims about Bernie. She’s an opportunist, pure and simple.
Get him and AOC in the WH
The only way for the Democratic Party to return to relevance is to recommit to the working and middle class American. Democratic policies are popular but the leaders and message is not.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shut up he's a fluke and he will be a disaster for New York if he wins

Nope. I have a smile on my face.
Yep!

Agreed
To all the Black and Brown people that voted for Felon TRUNT because Democrats have not done enough for you??? Trunt is giving you Redistricting to take away your Voice and Representation. FAFO AND ENJOY!!;
AOC and Bernie are too progressive, Mamdani is as well. This super progressive plan will not go over well nationally. We need a younger, stronger leader that will stand up to Trump's insanity, and remind voters that Democrats would be lowering your prices instead of raising them with tariffs!
FUCK centrist asshole Dems I want my Democrats liberal AF Otherwise, join the treasonous party of kiddie-fuckers, the GOP
Too late You have already lost
Too progressive for what? Maintaining your economic advantages?
If this were true, how come running less-progressive candidates keeps losing over and over? No Democrat this century has been “too progressive,” and the idea is ridiculous on its face: they’re TOO LITTLE like their enemy? Just say you hate poor people and immigrants and stop fuckin around.
www.cnn.com/2020/04/08/p...
Bernie ran in this century. Bernie lost to Biden in 2020. Bernie lost twice. While I like many of his ideas, they're too progressive to win a majority. Maybe some day we will have universal healthcare, subsidized childcare, etc. All those things I want. But that person won't get elected today
Bernie isn’t relevant to this topic. Getting elected and doing nothing is the same as not getting elected. There is no value to getting another establishment Dem elected. That kind of thinking is why they get to keep running nothing candidates who won’t rock the boat.
Agreed.
The term "progressive" has been deliberately demonized by folks with lots of money and power. Progressive policies are popular with all voters.
Are you serious? You mean the blue hair , screeching that your racists or whatever ist the flavor of the day is That didn't raise a red flag ? Do you really think you needed help demonizing progressivness , Maybe it was cutting body parts off of children ....probably
That's not progressives. That's social media leftists, edgy teens, and Republican strawmen they use to turn people off against the very boring, practical and fairness-minded agenda of mainstream Democrats.
Can you tell me the difference because they dont claim there is one
I'm not a expert on the different shades of progressives I do go off of what people claim and if they say they are progressive and on the left, I take their word for it , the fact you dont like the fact they do and say things you disagree with is a internal issue, you still own it
Reminder to all the reactionary liberals who call themselves centrists, this is your "moderate republican" you're appealing to. It's about time people realized those sort of people in the dem party, are just as much of the problem as the fascists.
Not sure there is such a thing as a centrist liberal Donald Trump is to liberal for Maga, and that has led to the recent hiccups , the so called cult had a problem with the leader, and trump had to un-fuck the epstien thing
While I like most progressive ideas, they R not popular with ALL voters. Not MAGA. & not with most Republicans. Republicans would use the words "socialist" or "communist" & most of the people from foreign countries will either not vote, or vote against them. Especially people from Latin countries.
Really? Who's been going to those rallies that Bernie and AOC headed in red states? Bernie Sanders Rally Crowd Size Tops 30K in District Trump Won Three Times - Newsweek share.google/Gbdm2gMesGuu...
I like all of Bernie's ideas. But calling himself a socialist did not help him win the nomination...
He's a DEMOCRATIC socialist like AOC, Mamdani and me. The right twists ideologies because they're uneducated. They don't get the difference between socialism, social democracy, and democratic socialism.
You're right they don't. But they just use the one word -- socialist. And it scares the crap out of the low info voter....
Hey. They've been using TRANS ... in the same way. It's fear they stoke.
Fuck MAGA. Fuck Republicans. They need to come back to reality.
Pete Thiel literally cheated in the CA campaign to get 'Progressive-in-name-only' bff Ro Khanna his seat in congress. Thiel sent a sabotour into Dem Mike Honda's camp, stole the voter data & ran a smash n grab campaign. Same as Bernie did to build his base. Stole HRC's voter data. Billionare bff's
Yeah? How did that work out with Kamala?
Mamdani is offensive in every way. NYC won't survive with him as mayor.
Not sure why? He’s progressive; old American people may glitch, but so many countries thrive on his policies..
Like cause he’s a Muslim, or a real reason that isn’t about hating poor people?
Looks like democrats are hell bent on losing the midterms 🙄🙄
Now life has thrown me more than I can handle, and I would never reach out if this weren’t urgent. It weighs heavily on my heart — but I still trust in our compassion and shared humanity. Your kindness could make all the difference. If you can help🙏💙 gofund.me/0af928df
TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE ON BLUESKY, don't buy the Communist BS sells pitch. They literally want you to allow them to end 260 years of the American Dream...of course, it you're lazy, no motivation to be the best you can, go ahead, and when the money runs out, what then? 👇
History tells us poor and homeless comes next! Don't depend on a short-lived communist plan before giving your natural human abilities a chance to be self-made rather than government made. Decide your own fate, don't let the Communist do it!
1st: Mamdani is socialist, not a communist. 2nd: The "American Dream" is serfdom and slavery. It's why they keep as many of us as poor and "paycheck to paycheck" as possible, and why our prison slave population is so large.
He's a Communist and apparently, so are you!
And an Atheist to boot...two of the most egregious things you don't want to be in this country!
Actually according to this study Atheists are in the top 5 economically. What you REALLY don't want to be is a Jehovah's Witness or "American Baptist Churches USA". (You guys really know how to pick names for your religions. Including the region in your understanding of the universe is classy.)
Well, I happen to be Presbyterian...does that make me smarter and richer than you?
No, it doesn't. Presbyterian is listed twice, you might be the lower one. Also this article doesn't prove anything on an individual level, but it does disprove your claim that Atheism is "something you don't want to be in this country."
Sorry, I'm pretty sure I know the Church I was baptized in. Of course, you wouldn't know anything about baptism. Are you so naive to think you can poke a chart in my face and my personal opinion goes away...that it establishes your worth? There is nothing less important to me than an atheist!
Everyone knows about baptism, it's not obscure or complicated. And do I really gotta point out the problem with screaming at someone they have less value than you? You really don't see how you might have made a moral wrong turn here?
it's about the economy, stupid.
Sure. She's too lazy and stupid to even run a filibuster.
Where are my fans, please follow my new page
Thank you, Sen. Warren. Get the word out. Mamdani’s primary victory is an absolute success story for Democrats. We need to get back to our Democratic Party roots.
If Democrats want to win any more support they'll have to tell their major donors to gft and dive (at least rhetorically) head first into the class war. It's not a secret anymore.

Warren lost the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in her home state. I don’t think she has any business giving advice about a winning strategy for Democrats.
Everyone loses. She still has great ideas, POLICIES, and fights for the people. She is not only permitted to promote a candidate she likes, but it’s newsworthy and a lot of people enjoy reading about it.
She can promote whoever she wants. But I live in a purple state. Mamdani would go over like a lead balloon here. He’s like something MAGA would come up with in a lab to run against Republicans. The ads write themselves.
I used to live in a purple state. Gerrymandering forced us red.
I think you'd do better over on X.
I think I’ll stay where I am.
Weirdowlflying supports the IDF. Their opinion on anything is totally ignorable.
Yes, I support Israel and oppose genocidal jihadist Islamists such as Hamas. But suit yourself if you want to support Mamdani and fuel MAGA in the process.
I think that remark was directed at the weirdo bot.
Let's find out what happens when the party heavies take their thumbs off the scale and allow candidates with real progressive policies run fairly in purple states. We've seen where backing GOP Lite candidates has brought us.
So tired if hearing this. A lot of folks voted for Bernie b/c we didn’t trust our Republican Governor to appoint a democrat to the Senate if she won and/or the country to vote for a woman.
Does this same logic apply to Hillary and Kamala?
Yes!
Warren is doing what a fair loser would do and is boosting someone who can win
Context: She and Sanders split the base vote thus giving Biden the win. Ranked choice voting would've given the win to either Liz or Bernie. Sanders and Warren got the Mamdani treatment in 2020.
That’s a fair point about splitting the base, although losing your home state is never a good look.
Always important to explain full context when using a fact to support an argument.
At least one Dem knows what's up. Establishment Dems need to get the f@ck out the way. Let Freedom Ring! (~);}
Victory? He won a primary that nobody really turned out for.
Oh, and actually about a hundred thousand more people turned out for this primary vs the last one. Smells like sour grapes, bud. 😘
About 11.5% of the NYC registered voters voted Mamdani and he needed almost every one of them to beat a guy who is literally pond scum. Not exactly a landslide or a wave of future voting trends I'd lean into much.
Mm, not really. It’s actually a huge deal that a socialist was able to win that primary at all; historically, it’s some corrupt establishment ghoul and/or a cop with the mind of a houseplant. You were wrong, in a way that shows you didn’t bother to learn anything about this before complaining.
For socialists this is a big deal, but honestly you could have run a dead houseplant against Cuomo and won.
So we agree that it was a victory.
Democrat Control is simply a SURE way to end this Authoritarian Take Over! It is 100% on the shoulders of the American People!!! America must WIN this WAR, so our children are not picking cotton for the Musk & Trump Kids! QUIT!!! FOCUSING ON ONE ... IT IS NOW A TEAM SPORT!

Dems need to follow Warren’s lead. The refusal to support Mamdani, especially by NY dems, is unacceptable.
Agreed, although I do like how they're showing their true colors. It'll help when we primary them.
Better than being fascist pedo blue like serial assaulter Cuomo, pedo Pete, and fascist Newsom.
Who is pedo Pete? Because, if, like me, you think pedophilia is bad. . . . I’ve got some news to share about the entirety of the Republican Party MAGA and pre MAGA.
Read
Who the eff is pedo Pete? And your assessment of Newsom is ridiculous and laughable. You sound like maga. Are you?
Newsom did go on Kirk’s podcast and has been cozying up to fascists. Already thrown the T in LGBTQ+ under the bus. Pedo Pete is Pete Buttigieg who has been on a transphobic tirade lately. Seems like he is selling out a letter for a future position.
I agree about the trans rights. Newsom is on the wrong there. But his conversations with fascists is to counter their one-sided information. I don't consider that cozying.
Fascists don't deserve a platform. Ostracize them from society.
I don't disagree and should not be given a platform. I think Newsom talking to them didn't track well. There's a Russian saying, "When 11 people sit down at a table, and a fascist joins them, when they get up to leave, there are 12 fascists."
Then don’t support him
It's too early to identify anyone as potential 2028 candidates. The vetting process will happen with the primary.
If it's Neolib Patrick Bateman or Mayo Pete, the country is cooked. We're not giving up our rights. Either they stand for basic human and civil rights for ALL (including us trans folks and Palestinians) they can go fuck themselves.
The truth is, we can't do the job of maga on ourselves. I agree, no neolib corporatist, who may as well be a Republican should get our votes. I'm with anyone, and everyone, to take down the fascists stinking up Congress and in our states' governments.
Damn right and if Democrats cozy up to them we ought to call them out.
Newsom is flawed, but he's not a fascist.
LOL, okay.
Pete is not a pedophile, but I do agree that his trans stance is a setup for more votes. I doubt he's anti trans. I don't want to degrade conversations to the level of maga. Reason and facts need to be forefront.
Then take it back
I think you should take it back. You prove my point about the left eating its own. At this time, we need to coalesce and talk rationally and levelly. The enemy is the GOP.
Yet you want us to support fascism lite
No. Talk about WHO YOU DO WANT AND WHY.
Too early to pick a candidate. That is what the establishment wants. Focus on next year’s elections first because Democrats love to screw stuff up. They had an easy job last year and blew it.
Well he can come back to the right side but supporting him is supporting fascism lite. Just another white guy lusting for power
Fascist lite? Here is a doc with the 14 characteristics of a fascist. My grandfather rests in a 10 body deep, one mile grave in the forest of Katyn at the hands of Stalin fascists. That fascism. characteristics_and_appeal_of_fascism.pdf share.google/vDCkJjAIoQ8D...

Mamdani’s formula is affordability + affability. His affect doesn’t change no matter how scurrilous the attacks nor does his message. Genuine Happy Warrior!
His message changes when he sniffs power. Unlikely he genuinely no longer wants to defund (or even, dismantle) the police.
I’ve got the view from Seattle that Mamdani is a malleable opportunist without principles and disagreement with his “core beliefs” from Kansas City. Same question to you as KC. New Yorkers must choose between Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo and Mamdani. Your recommendation? bsky.app/profile/i812...
Oh he definitely has consistent principles. That's the point. I just think at least a couple of them (like prison abolitionism) are dealbreakers. Even Adams and Cuomo are not as bad as a prison abolitionist.
Are you recommending Adams or Cuomo? New Yorkers get one choice in the general election. Sorry you can also vote for Curtis Sliwa if you prefer a Republican.
What’s wrong with prison abolition?
He will destroy NYC. Government grocery stores? Look at the one they have in Kansas City. Defund the police? Good luck. It isn't affordability and affability, it is government controlled everything. Will be hard to turn it back around.
Is this your post? bsky.app/profile/i812...
Yes
I guess you don’t like his positive messages
I disagree with his core beliefs, no matter how "positively" he spins them.
The choice New Yorkers have is Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo or Zohran Mamdani. Do you have a recommendation?
I would probably choose Adams, but all of the choices have their different issues.
Dems need to stop worrying about alienating right leaning voters and appearing too "political"...fascists don't care about alienating anyone and everything they do is 100% political! Democracy will die if Dems do not fight. Fascists lie and cheat to gain power and then never relinquish it! FACT.
Cuomo was the reason for Mamdani’s victory. People voted against Cuomo and Amanda I was the best of those running against him.
Love it!
They should both rot in hell. Two bigots, same peapod.
And the AM talk radio guys had a fit about this and are livid that he actually has a chance. They even broke out the Pocahontas slur and trop again -
Warren knows what’s up.
Wow what happened at politico that they're signal boosting pragmatic Democrats? I'll reserve some of my past feelings and say keep up this kind of work. If ya helped shift the center rightwards previously, you can do the same in the opposite direction. No more Diet maga Democrats
He may be a talented communicator and politician. I think he is. But he has zero qualifications to run a city as complex as NY. It’s not about his views on Israel or Palestine. It’s about the ability to do an immensely important and difficult job.
And.. how do you know? Have you been a city leader? What have you done for the City of NY? What qualifies you to make that determination? Please list the immensely important reasons that make it 'your right to judge' who is eligible for a voter-based elected position.
Oh, I see you love to engage via posts. Therefore, I'm looking forward to your honest and highly intelligent response.
For a start, I live in NYC. I think a mayor should have met a payroll, hired and fired a wide range of employees, managed a huge, complex organization with competing agendas, dealt with labor unions, negotiated contracts. Now you tell me, why was your post to me so hostile?
Wow, you expect quite a lot. I wasn't being hostile to you, either. I was asking pointed questions. You're a New Yorker, you should be accustomed to that, especially if you've ever held any high-powered positions. Andrew Cuomo. He was an attorney. He didn't meet any of those requirements, did he?
Eric Adams was a former police officer and was then charged with bribery and fraud for the sole purpose of enriching himself with foreign money. Um.. yeah. And Cuomo was a sexual deviant. Maybe it's time for NYC to get some 'new blood'.. don't ya think?🤔
Mayors don’t handle payroll or HR. I’m not sure you know enough about what a mayor does to be judging someone’s qualifications.
If only integrity was a qualification. As opposed to Adams, who’s qualifications led him to take bribes for building inspections. Or Cuomo whose qualifications led him to the hubris of sex and employeee abuse. Or Sliwa and his qualifications regarding kitty litter.
Historically all you have to do to be mayor of NYC is be corrupt as fuck and do nothing. You can also be a lunatic with the mind of a potted plant. If anything, I think he’s overqualified.
Look up what Bloomberg did. He wasn’t corrupt. And did a great job.
He just hasn't sexually harrassed nearly enough (ANY???) women. Clearly a lightweight
Elizabeth "double standard" Warren.
Zohran Mamdani supports BDS. BDS is deeply antisemitic. Omar Barghouti, the co-founder of BDS movement, has frequently declared BDS’ goal is the destruction of Israel. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/bds-in-their...

I agree. People are so scared of the word socialism, that they don’t see that it’s really about people running their own government, and other words of democracy! Look at what Mamdani ran on, everything was benefiting the people!
Putting mental health crisis triage centers into subway stations or abolishing prisons doesn't benefit the people.
Mamdani never said he wants to abolish prisons. He is questioning the prisons for profit, which is a legitimate question. Trump is building concentration camps, which is about the same thing. Should we not question that?
Well he said we should divest from and abolish the NY state prison system, asked what purpose prisons serve other than making people feel good (let out the murderers then?), and he's a prominent DSA member which is explicitly abolitionist so. x.com/ZohranKMamda... www.dsausa.org/dsa-politica...
But creating a prison pipeline to South America for immigrants of the "wrong colour", nazi salutes, and running profitable scams from the white house is comparatively better option?
>Ok some of Mamdani's policies wouldn't benefit people, but the president is bad. I know the president is bad. What's the point here? Is cuomo going to be a trump minion? Not even silwa is a maga as far as I can tell.
How does it not?
Talk about destroying the oligarchs - people justifiably hate billionaires. Lean into their destruction. 99.9% of people will love it or won’t care. No one is coming to their rescue.
Dems have been trying to compromise and be centrist since Clinton. We definitely need a course correction. At one time, I thought these ideas were too expensive, but we are spending the money. I’d rather spend it on daycare and family support rather than ICE.
There are so many that fear change & look where that got us. Yes, it's time to take bold steps toward a new message from Dems. Sadly, some are confused about ideology & need a refresher class. If the Dems pattern their ideas similar to the Scandinavian countries, there just might be good change.
In Australia Labor won twice on fighting - and acknowledging - the cost of living crisis. It’s a slow walk - it takes time…
elyonbadger.com Just wait until a 35-year-old runs for Congress for universal healthcare
She's always so intelligent. I haven't always agreed with her but god damn, Respect.
In a way she was too smart to become president. She looked like a confused and out of place professor
I hope he brings @maya4rights.bsky.social into city hall with him
Yeah but the problem for the Democrats is you've got to mean it. Hollow words aren't going to be bought again.
"It didn't seem like she meant it so I stayed home and Trump won"
I mean you elect people who do in fact mean what they say. ftr it didn't "seem" like she didn't mean anything she said (other than "the most lethal military in the world", she meant that) it was a fact she didn't mean anything she said. Maybe she meant the word salad stuff, who could tell?
Hey now, Kamala promised us a BORDER BILL. She also was promising to get us a REPUBLICAN appointee in her admin. Truly peak democratic strategy. Concede, bend over, and get fucked by republicans. They love it, and ftr, Kamala is doing fine in fact shes making millions on her new book.
All true. What she didn’t mean though was anything in relation to addressing affordability for working class people.
she always means it, she works relentlessly
Warren isn't the entirety of the Democrats. The Democrats as a whole don't stand behind what Warren is suggesting. That's the problem.
Speaking of hollow words, He's already shifted with the trending winds, now claiming he's REALLY AGAINST DEFUNDING THE POLICE! A complete backflip from his campaign platform. Mamdani will say whatever the popular trend is. Was 'Globalize the Intifada' just a joke too? He's a liar Who owns this guy?
GOOD! 🌊🇺🇸🌊
Elizabeth who? More like Mamdani boosts Warren. LOL
Mamdani is the future of Democratic Party and his campaign is focused on the people, for the people and by the people. A movement that care about human rights which includes universal basic income, affordable housing, cheap transportation, food security, good education and Medicare for All.
surprise someone backing away from the establishment dems. thanks warren!
“Make Mamdani the leader of the Democrat Party” - Sincerely, The Republicans
Hey @schiff.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, @ericswalwell.bsky.social get on board.
If Democrats take on socialism they are done for. They’ll never hold a majority or the White House until they go back to the worker issues. At least 15 years to come back from it.
The polls don’t agree with you, fossil. Last one that ran for the White House convinced seven million people to stay home by refusing to engage with socialists. Why would we keep doing the same shit that got us here?
Poo poo pee pee
#TexasBeefBoycott #TexasBeefBoycott #TexasBeefBoycott
Progressives are slowly coalescing
Trump promised to lower prices and I think everyone can agree that almost everything is more expensive now. Inflation not changing quickly enough got Trump elected, prices going in the wrong direction from Trump policies should be an easy, easy win. Are you better off than you were a year ago?
whenever i read politico comments it's like half AI and half people recovering from TBI
Agreed! Mamdani!!!!
Mamdani is a good candidate. But Elizabeth Warren is a lying backstabbing snake: youtu.be/AJGSMDjI7lk?...
Shoeonhead is dumb cunt, so her views are irrelevant
JFC you all prove my point that the left eats its own. You don't need maga to do a hit job. JFC get with it. Ancient tribes were smart enough to join with warring tribes against a common enemy. The GOP is our enemy, not Warren, AOC, Pete or Bernie. Coalesce or let democracy die.
Agreed. She is one of the smartest and hardest working senators - yet there is this underbelly of democratic trolls who continue to disparage her. I can’t help feel that a lot of these attacks are fueled by misogyny. It is such toxic energy.
It's not time for infighting. The enemy is the GOP.
Unfortunately, a percentage of detractors of almost any woman is going to contain misogynists. But Shoe0nHead's video contains proof Elizabeth Warren lied and betrayed Bernie Sanders. That's not misogyny. I'm not saying Warren needs to be booted out of the coalition. Just realistically assessed.
It's not effective calling Newsom a fascist. I KNOW who the talk fascists are. Though flawed, Newsom doesn't qualify.
Shoe0nHead is a Bernie Sanders supporter. She is not MAGA. Immediate unforced error. A broad Left(-ish) coalition may need Elizabeth Warren in it for practical purposes, but she is not a good person, and she is not to be trusted. AOC is an anti-Semite, but, sadly, most coalitions have those.
She does no one a favor. We can't be fighting each other. I doubt Bernie would support her stance. I, too, am a Berner.
I don't think working together in a coalition means that we have to ignore all of the coalition members' misdeeds. I think ignoring lying and backstabbing does no one a favor. Shoe0nHead's video includes a clip of Sanders clearly being upset at Warren's betrayal. I'd rather know than not know.
I remember it. But now it's not the time to infight.
I agree now is a good time to work together. Most times are good times to work together. I'm not recommending infighting. I am recommending honest appraisals of the human beings we're trying to be in a coalition with. I appreciate when Elizabeth Warren helps the cause... but I will never trust her.
That all good
well, to be fair shoeonhead is a fuckin' dipshit.
Mamdani gotta be careful. Elizabeth old Democrat guard endorsement is the kiss of death.
I wish that I lived in NYC, just so I could vote for Mamdani!
Never! Antisemitic phucker
He is not antisemitic that’s such a tired old slanderous insult. Just because he’s Muslim, and cares about the Palestinians plight doesn’t mean he hates Jews. That’s lazy thinking.
He does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. Fact. And antiSemitic. Ask his campaign. I have. That’s what they told me.
Currently as it is, Israelis and Palestinians should have equal rights. Being critical of Israel doesn’t make you antisemitic just like criticizing our government doesn’t make you unamerican. He has not said he wishes harm upon Jewish people. To me the fact that “antisemitism” is being smeared /1
Upon anyone critical of Isreal is going to negatively impact Jewish people in the future.
He refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist. That is antisemitism. Being critical of Israel’s policies is not antisemitic. I agree w you. But it’s right to exist is. Sorry you are wrong.
That’s not antisemitism; Israel is a secular state, and its government is not the sum total of all Jews in the world. And there are plenty of Jews who hate what the Israeli government is doing currently, some of them in Israel. Are you speaking over those Jews about what they’re supposed to want?
re plenty of ppl: Re “famine and suffering in Gaza, only a fifth (20.2%) of Jews said they were “very troubled” or “somewhat troubled,” compared to […] (23.4%) saying they were “not so troubled” and […] (55.6%) saying they were “not at all troubled.” www.timesofisrael.com/israels-jews...
Just like many of us hate what the Trump administration is doing. Not all Americans agree w his policies- only half of us. No democracy is perfect. To not recognize Israel’s right to exist is a non starter. Netanyahu is just as bad as Trump- maybe worse.
None of this refutes what I said, and much of it is a non sequitur. They really will give a doctorate to anybody, huh.
Guess you are a Jew hater too. You are disgusting.
What makes what they’re saying make them a Jew hater?
She doesn’t like it and her narrow skull can only fit two binary options into it.
Bad, facile, intellectually-lazy guess, and your approval has no value, so your derision is irrelevant. Israel doesn’t have a right to Gaza, and they started this with invasion. It is not possible to refute this with historical evidence.
not recognizing israel's right to exist is pretty based
Do you have evidence for this?
Three cheers, Senator Warren!!!
Senator Warren you talk the talk & walk the walk. We need more Dems. to take a stand for Mamdani & future elected officials.
Nationally, Mamdani's "model" would be a political disaster.
I see your point, but sometimes what seems like a disaster at first can be the spark for meaningful change. Curious,What part of the model concerns you the most?
Price controls (rent and city owned grocery stores). The Historic Failure of Price Controls: Jonathan Williams on American Radio Journal - American Legislative Exchange Council - American Legislative Exchange Council share.google/LvMbvo5x3J8u...
That makes sense ,price controls can definitely have unintended consequences。
Actually his model is the correct path. Otherwise…we are doomed.
I obviously disagree. The Historic Failure of Price Controls: Jonathan Williams on American Radio Journal - American Legislative Exchange Council - American Legislative Exchange Council share.google/LvMbvo5x3J8u...
Only the ill informed wouldn't understand how it helps them.
Your "what's in it for me?" attitude is what makes socialism so ruinous for everyone over the long term. We must solve the housing, jobs and food deserts problems within a capitalist economy. Higher taxes on the wealthy is ok but confiscation levels are not.
Social democracy works fine everywhere. I pay taxes and want something for it. Elon pays no taxes and gets millions back. For what? I get sick and lose everything? Capitalism failed. It is what caused all the problems you have listed.
What socialist nations have ever succeeded? Capitalism with strong "welfare" systems are the most successful. The U.S.'s awful wealth divide and low taxes on the wealthy so we can't fund strong welfare systems will destroy us, but socialism will destroy us more quickly.
Sweden, France, Luxembourg, Norway....... The Social Democracies with universal health care, strong public housing, free colleges. What Mamdani is proposing. We are talking about the same thing with different names.
All European nations are capitalist and would never own grocery stores. Vienna has Mamdani-like housing but it's failing miserably. European colleges that are free are way worse academically. reason.com/2023/09/21/t...
So not true. Europe has far more robust safety nets than the US. They are Democratic Socialist countries, which is capitalism with strong welfare programs. In Europe, the Democratic Party would be a far right-wing party. Even conservatives in Europe support universal health care.
You're not reading what I'm writing because your 2nd sentence is a paraphrase of what I've been saying. We're in agreement except "robust safety nets" is not synonymous with "socialism."
Cause the current Dem model was so successful at beating trump twice?
The "current Dem model" is as bad as Mamdani's socialism.
Is Mamdani a true socialist - of is he a social democrat who hates that capitalism is out of control & only benefits the few now?
Vienna is an example of Mamdani-like housing. It's failing. City owned grocery stores would be worse. As I said, U.S. capitalism is failing because the wealthy don't pay enough to support a strong but still capitalist welfare state. reason.com/2023/09/21/t...
Who believes that would really happen anyway? There is much, much more to his appeal than that.
Any politician who uses the term "socialist" or "socialism" to describe her policies is DOA nationally. Democrats already fail at the messaging game and that's what I'm talking about (except owning grocery stores is "socialism" and incredibly stupid).
Well the fact that the media doesn't even seem to know what a real socialist is doesn't help but they don't even like progressives. Mamadani criticizes capitalism & says there shouldn't be billionaires, supports equality & social justice. Many agree with him.
Actually his "model" provides hope of getting us out of the one we're in, if it's not too late.
Yeah? How’s it working out so far?
Good thing he’s not running for mayor of America, huh?
Yes, it is. I don't care if NYC ruins itself by thinking real housing, food and jobs problems are best solved by socialism.
Clarence, you don’t live in New York and have no skin in this game. Stay in your lane.
Reread what I wrote. Your comment doesn't apply to what I wrote. Mamdani would fail miserably in NATIONAL politics. I also said I don't care what NYC decides but pundits arguing Mamdani's model would do well NATIONALLY are wrong.
👍
Make New York Great Again!
I hope Warren $$$ Buffet does too!
Warren is one of the few Senators who is not in AIPAC's thrall.
You can't drive over publicly funded roads and despise socialism. Senator Warren knows hows to juggle the ism's. We've tried capitalism every which way but loose. The people swinging hammers or running a sewing machine simply simply aren't buying it. Stop kowtowing to lobbies & serve the majority.
You simply would not believe the size of her yacht It puts any Russian oligarch to shame.
