Lerner is in bed with a bunch of law firms that I would rather he not be. He does have connections for the kind of campaign Mamdani needs to run to get the DNC suckups to get on board though, so I’m skeptical, but hopefully this is a good.
Khan is a smart fucking move.
Mamdani needs to run to get the DNC suckups to get on board though
why does Mamdani need any of that support at all? He has the nom, he is on the ballot, NYC will be voting for him. Obama and the DNC aren’t needed at all.
Apparently you’re not really aware of this works.
What do primaries do, and where did this nominations come from?
Also, it’s a Primary. He’s not on the ballot yet.Thats why everyone is pissed off at the DNC.
Winning the Democratic Primary guarantees him a spot on the ballot. If the gormless dems want to pull some strings and run Cuomo as well they can certainly do that. Compromising with Nazis isn’t going to help Mamdani.
No. It doesn’t guarantee anything.
The DNC is a political organization that can back whomever on the ballot they want. If they get pushback from enough people, they could run someone else.
They won’t because the uprising and abandonment of that organization would be massively stellar, but it’s not some officiated process.
Ballot access for NYC mayorial candidacy is 100% officiated. There are explicit rules and requirements that if you meet you are 100% GUARANTEED ballot access. By simply winning the primary, he is 100% guaranteed to be on that Mayoral Ballot. He is also 100% allowed to run with under the Democratic Ticket. There is nothing at all the DNC, a national grifter org, can do to affect his access to the NYC Mayoral Ballot.
They can choose to gather signature and run Cuomo, they can run back other candidates, they can spend millions backing the AIPAC preferred candidates, but they are going to do that regardless of what Mamdani does or says.
Hey, if Obama’s team could get a black man elected twice then this should work perfectly.
The only way be will get that support is if he pivots to the right. Obama talked like a progressive when he ran, but ruled conservative as a president. So no I don’t see this as a good sign.
lmao
Yeah the fucking Obamacare guy was a conservative, OK BUDDY
You must have been the Harris campaign advisor.
Obamacare was romneycare. Wtf are you talking about?
You can daydream about what Romney might have done, you can say stuff like “Trump promises to replace Obamacare with something better”, but does it mean anything in the face of the fact that under Obama a 58 DNC senate majority actually expanded medicaid while every single Republican voted in opposition?
He passed the Massachusetts healthcare plan that Romney devised and passed. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Every time you respond, you expose yourself.
He bailed out the banks instead of the people , passed the Republican healthcare bill only aftet he removed the public option. HE damn sure was a progressive. He was supposed to be the Hope and Change president, instead he deported more people than Trump and Biden combined and bomb the fuck out of Afghanistan and other countries. Also appointing Hillary Clinton to Security of of State wasn’t best move eithet. He wasn’t a conservative like you think of them today but he still moved to the right once he was elected. Some may say he did more good then bad, but he should shoulder some of blame of the track we are on now he help create.
After the 2008 financial crisis much of the world was left in economic turmoil and what Obama did worked. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelies.
Fun fact, the Republicans Filibustered the version of the bill that passed, but the 58 DNC convinced Bernie Sanders and the other Independent holdout to pass it via supermajority. If Republicans had their way there would never have been any Medicaid expansion, tens of millions of people would have suffered without healthcare to this very day.
Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don’t even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is. In a lot of other countries in the world, there are like 3-4 major parties left of where Obama stood, but only like 1, maybe 2, right of him.
jfc first he was howling about Obama but now they’re defending Republicans. Do you have any idea where you are right now, son?
Hell Bernie Sanders is to the right to most European countries. They just don’t know what conservative means.
Since when did he enact single-payer healthcare? I must have missed that news.
I think this is a miscalculation. 62% of Democrats want the leadership gone, the establishment Dems are splitting their vote between Adams and Cuomo, and nothing short of full-throated support of Israel will satisfy them anyway. There’s no point in appeasing an enemy that is weak, fractured, and belligerent. They pose no threat to him and he has little to gain from winning them over.
