    It’s like no one remembers how relatively left the Dems have moved in the past 30 fucking years.

      Ultimately, it would be more productive for the center to yell at the establishment for supporting corruption and unpopular policies rather than turning left.

      Look at how much more vitriol there was for a leftist mayoral candidate from the establishment than there was towards the leaders who do nothing while a dictator consolidates power. Apparently, its fine not to vote for a democrat if you personally think it will cause tons of economic damage in this case, but not the other.

        The entire NY mayor “controversy” has been astronomically blown out of proportion by bad actors. The vast majority of Democratic voters in the rest of the country don’t give a fuck one way or the other. But it looks great for the Republicans if the Democrats are in-fighting, and on Lemmygrad it looks great if the “establishment” Democrats are losing (never mind that Mamdani would get bodied 100x worse than Kamala on a national stage).

      You are completely hallucinating.

      Kamala embraced Trump’s border wall, Biden didn’t do anything when Netanyahu crossed his “red line”, and Obama bailed out the banks while carrying the torch from Bush by conducting the most drone strikes out of any other president.

      The Democrats have started moving Right starting in the 1990s, not left.

      Dems haven’t moved left since FDR.

        Sorry that you have no memory of Dem policy since the 1990s and how it differs from today, I hope your ability to process events in the past returns.
