    I’m sure AIPAC has nothing to do with it

    Oh, I know why!

    It’s because neoliberalism is an ideology of the right, so they’d rather lose to someone on their right than work with someone to their left.

    He’s far more concerned with protecting privilege than helping those without.

      At this point it’s not even neoliberalism anymore. It’s neoconservatism with the illusion of left-leaning ideology

    His sponsors don’t like Mamdani. Simple as that. That’s who he works for.

      You mean Joe and Eileen Bailey, the literally made up and imaginary couple that he created and claims are accurate representations of his constituents which he has referenced hundreds of times as justification for his positions?

      I shit you not this is a real thing he does. Instead of listening to actual constituents he just makes ones up.

    At this point, I hope he doesn’t. Schumer’s and Jeffries’ careers going down in flames ASAP would be a good thing.

    Because the DNC is fully committed to the inertia of failed ideas, big money, and losing future elections.

    It’s cause the Bailey’s haven’t told him if they like him, yet.

    I wonder if it’s related to the reason that he voted to make October 14th a special day for Charlie Kirk.

    They’re not the same as Republicans tho, they just fight against progress and a fair society while supporting dictatorships and oligarchies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
