It is beyond shameful to see the number of Democrats who slag Mamdani, who would not appear radical in most developed democracies. And why not back a winner - someone who can beat Cuomo and the others so thoroughly clearly has some momentum that the party sadly needs these days?
The suggestion by Rs (and not very energetically rebutted by Ds) that Mamdani must be a terrorist because he is Muslim is beyond shameful, but the more it is allowed to circulate by people who should be resisting it, the more harm it will do.
One man can't make a revolution anyway. Make him mayor (the country and the world need a breath of fresh air these days) and see what he can do with the council and the state. Well worth a try.
Democrats routinely eat their own. That's one issue with a big tent party: too many factions. The upside of a party with no moral compass is that they vote as a unit. It's only about power. And God. And grievance. If you can tick those boxes, you're in. They don't care who it is.

Bypassing the big D organizations and supporting individual candidates will help get the point across.

It's time the head elitists of Democrats be replaced with people who actually listen to the people they supposedly care for.
My recommendation is to not give a single penny to any large Democrat organization, instead donate directly to the candidates whose views you support.
Not me! I will not vote for anyone who doesn’t support:
Ending all US sponsored wars.
Ending funding to Israel until Palestinians have equal rights, opportunity & freedom.
Breaking up the monopolies that have ruined our economy! (Bring back Lina Khan)
Funding the CFPB (bring back Rohit Chopra)
Funding the EPA to regulate the crap out of corporations polluting our air, water and soil.
Recognize Healthcare as a human right! (Medicare for all)
Recognize Food as a human right
Recognize housing as a human right
I really don’t think these things are even asking much.
America decided it hated hippies worse than it hated Nazis, and we’re all paying the price.
