Zohran Mamdani’s campaign represented a struggle for basic dignity and an affirmation of democratic potential. It was ceaselessly denounced by political and media elites from across the spectrum as something sinister, violent, and dangerous.

“Data that does’t fit your obviously bullshit narrative” being the number of days it took a single DNC politician to endorse Zohran Mamdani? Man, what a hill to die on.

Who is dying on a hill? I’m just pointing out that I know you don’t care about data when you find it inconvenient. Data like:

“They begrudgingly supported him once it became clear that he was going to win. They never wanted to support him, they are only doing it to save face.”

“They” this “they” that, is this also the faceless them who own the banks lol? The vast majority, everyone minus a rounding error, endorsed Mamdani and were excited by his victory in the DNC. We’re lucky to have him, like a second Bernie Sanders but not even Bernie runs on the DNC ticket outside of presidential primaries we invite him to participate in.

Who is talking about the banks? WTF are you on about?

I think you missed this part again:

“They begrudgingly supported him once it became clear that he was going to win. They never wanted to support him, they are only doing it to save face.”

It’s almost like you don’t like engaging with data that doesn’t fit your narrative. Weird, I wonder where I heard that before.

I’m a consequentialist, their reasons for supporting progress are meaningless in the face of progress.

No, your a partisan hack. You ignore data that makes your team look bad, and spin data to make them look good.

The system is partisan. Supporting a third party has a Partisan outcome. You’re effectively a partisan hack supporting the GOP by even comparing the two completely different parties. You’re normalizing destruction of rights fought long and hard to procure.

Both:
* bomb kids
* fight against the working class
* fight against healthcare for all
* give tax money to their rich friends
* fight against human rights
* support genocide
* support large corporations
* support destroying the planet
* support suveillance systems
* support war
* fight aganst making the rich pay their fair share of taxes
* support rapists for president
* support authoritarianism
* openly fight against what their voters want
* support mass deportations without due process
* support the killing of american citizens
* support torture programs

two completely different parties

lol, sure thing buddy

DNC want to, based solely on their past legislation and voting history:

  • tax the rich
  • remove money from politics
  • Fairly redistrict to prevent gerrymandering
  • Implement holding time limitations, criminal only focus, and habeus corpus and proper court hearings for immigration enforcement

You live in a fantasy land.
