    The Democratic establishment has still failed to line up and support Mamdani in NY, so there isn’t going to be much patience on the left for hearing about what Democratic “voters” don’t get. The voters aren’t the source of the problem.

      Blaming the “establishment” is just a pathetic excuse.

      You don’t get to call yourself “left” when you help bring Trump to power. End of story. You betrayed every single one of your supposed values.

        And how did I do that exactly?

        Only Obama has come close to a real endorsement, and none came in when they might have mattered, Has Jefferies even worked up the courage to endorse him by name yet, or is it still just “the Democratic candidate” LOL?

          Lol, moving the goal posts? Classic Trumper tactic. You were proven wrong and now you’re pretending like you were talking about something ekse.

            Nope. First of all, the Trumper tactic is always to overturn the game-board. They don’t give a shit about goalposts. Second, the goalpost was “line up and support Mamdani” which you actually moved to “endorsed Mamdani” which is not the same. Their endorsements were nothing more than concessions. It was last-minute realignment to position themselves to benefit from the win, or at least not suffer as much embarrassment. It was never support.

            More like a last minute concession. There is no point to an endorsement when it’s clear the die has been cast.

              Him and Schumer really just damaged their own brand and people’s opinion of their leadership. They’ll be gone next year.
