31·1 day agoYeah, but he was fought against by the Dems. His saving grace was Cuomo being the worst candidate you ever want running for you. And they still sided with Cuomo! Now imagine it was a presidential election and the Dems had a passable candidate. They would’ve done their all to stop Mamdani, and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to think they’d succeed.
The Dems are not leftists, they’re not progressive. They’re a right wing party that doesn’t give two shits about its people. People think they’re progressive because they don’t mind gay people or minorities within their ranks – for now. And they think they’re somewhat on the left because American politics is so fucked that there is no representation whatsoever for leftist politics.
Just because one person succeeded doesn’t mean that more will. Zohran won because he’s principled, skilled and faced a convicted rapist. So either hope for such odds every time, or start a new party with candidates that dont have an instant -100 in trustworthiness because of the D next to their names.

3·1 day agoMaybe. A new, third party will at least not have the baggage from years of broken promises and empty lip service. Progressives have tried to work with the Dems since 2008 to no avail, so why still insist that this time will be any different?
Dems know the pickle Americans are in and have acted knowing that many will always give them their votes. Because what – will you vote R? No? Then shut up and accept whatever shit we give you.
Non voters are berated for not exercising their democratic right, but can you blame someone who’s lost hope of American politics? Obama’s campaign was such a breath of fresh air, the victory from which gave Dems power to enact some real change. All they did was to bail out banks and fuel the dumpster fire that was Trump’s election 2016. And during that election cycle, they forced a very unpopular candidate on their voters. When COVID saved them in 2020, they still gave Americans Joe Biden and continued down the same, rotten path.
Look at how they treated Zohran. I’m so glad he won because he shows that people want this kind of politics. If he was running for president, I think they would’ve tried their damnest to stop him.
So yeah, why should someone vote for them?
In my home country, the left party is sliding rightward, and this election I’m voting for a small party that actually stands for what I believe in. Some of my friends think I’m throwing my vote away, but my right to vote means my right to not be forced into making “mature” decisions about who I want to lead the country. That’s been done for some 40 years now and has never worked. Enough is enough!

7·1 day agoWith the MAGA movement, you had massive capital backing the propaganda. And if im not mistaken, the OG Republicans didn’t really fight against Trump.
With progressives within the Democrat party structure, you’re fighting on multiple fronts – against the party itself along with anyone interested in maintaining the status quo.
MAGA didn’t go against the grain, they slid with the direction of the Overton window, albeit faster than what some were comfortable with. Going progressive is, well, the opposite of that.

92·1 day agoAnd the Democrats are not going to let them win. At best they’ll Co opt the progressives until they’re ineffective, and at worst, they’ll extinguish the progressives’ flames.
I’m appalled at how people still think voting for the Dems is an option.
Start a third party.

86·2 days agoYeah, 100% agree. The wealthy also manipulate rubes into thinking that there is no viable alternative, that other countries (mainly China) are so bad and oppressive that the tubes believe they’d rather keep getting fucked than to follow in the footsteps of the Chinese. It’s so prevalent on this website and on Reddit that you’d see Americans claim they’re more free, and this comment was meant for them.

Also, who was front and center at Trump’s inauguration, if not corporations?

Basically this is a typical chudlib. They think they are actually on the right side of history, because they support “democracies” like Israel, and the only worthy cause they stand up for is the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. But when it comes to Palestinans, they’re quiet.
They claim to hate dictators and dictatorships, and believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong or immoral with NATO and the western world hegemony. That’s why they have a blinding hatred for China, and think it’s very brave of them to be anti China.
They think is just an oopsie by yanks, that it’s as easy as voting to get rid of him.
Basically a stupid chud that hasn’t spent a minute thinking critically about anything.
Haven’t you ever seen a wojak before? Lol
