Only making him more popular, Zohran not bending the knee and becoming polarized against the DNC is a dream come true, literally everything we wished bernie had done since 2016
- Gassing up Zohran to my liberal friends (who are into it), pointing out loudly that HIS MAIN OPPOSITION IS DEMOCRATS, NOT REPUBLICANS
  Then sit back and watch the Dems do the rest of the propaganda for me as I send them the reporting on the ratfucking over the next few months. The only trick is to not spam so hard that it gets annoying.
  
  Dems at least have the decency to be impotent and proud of it.
  What are they going to do? Kiss Mamdani’s feet in hopes he will drop out? A strongly worded letter calling him a big meanie?
- This is a good point
Neolibs proving yet again they are just the left arm of fascism
- Neolibs proving yet again they are just ~~the left arm of~~ fascism
Zohran benefits from not being associated with these ghouls.
bourgeois class solidarity is rock solid
Liberals: We must defeat conservatives at all costs!
politician that is nominally left of center is winning
Liberals:
WE DON'T ENDORSE COMMIES DRAG THEM DOWN
- Probably won't hear much "vote blue no matter who" this time around
- Every phrase they have used to try and get normies to vote for their awful candidates need to be used against them now.
i bet the democrats have a plan in place to isolate him and cause his failure; so there's no reason to endorse him.
- This is the only time they ever make a plan at all.
- Yeah it was called Cuomo, look how that worked out
  
  I wouldn't be shocked if they're going for a repeat of the same strategy they used against India Walton. It would be very funny if it fails this time.
Vote blue no matter who!

Okay
N-no not like that
- It's wild because this is a joke but I've literally seen this conversation on blue sky.
  "Vote blue no matter who doesn't apply to him"
  "Well he wasn't vote blue no matter who for Kamala so fuck him"
  Impossible to satirize.
“The progressive case for Curtis Sliwa” op-ed any day now.
- Sliwa is a legitimately hilarious candidate, obviously it'd rule to get a socialist but a wannabe super hero is at least funny
  
  holy shit, i think we've cracked the code: america loves clowns, and we need to run the clowniest, jokerliest candidates if we ever want to win electoralism
What a totally unforeseen outcome.
What? No! This is so unexpected!
Any day now they'll say something like Mamdani Men and say all his supporters are sexist.
- "Not voting for a sex pest is actually very misogynist especially since Blii Clinton endorsed him, he is married to Hillary (the most feminist woman ever) after all"
- The Mamdani Mujahideen
Not being endorsed by Dems is the best possible endorsement any candidate can have. Everyone hates them. They can't read the metaphorical room though, because the only actual rooms they're in are full of rich donors and lanyard freaks
No one (anyone fighting for the actual working class) gets by their Neo-liberal guards!
Vote blue no matter who!
- Wait wait wait, not like that!
the democratic party hates muslim men
- The democrats of today became the republicans of 2004 when it comes to islamophobia and the republicans, well, they became straight up neo-nazis.
Is Zohran good? It's a good signal that the dems are against him but also I've seen him mince his words and weasel out of some questions similar to what AOC and Bernie do usually, so far it seems to me like he'll be New York AOC.
- His policy will be socdem but unlike aoc he is not a socdem, he is absolutely one of us. They will fight him far more viciously than aoc or bernie.
  
  he is absolutely one of us
  
  they will fight him harder then, but if he is one of us than he actually stands a chance in that fight unlike Bernie or AOC who fold immediately.
What they’re just supposed to campaign without the foreign influence of AIPAC??? What if they write articles vaguely calling them anti-semitic?? Please try to have empathy for the insider trading ghouls they’re just poor widdle babies
I'm not optimistic about anything, but it sure feels like the constant charges of antisemitism and "support Israel no matter what" is backfiring on the Dems. I doubt they'll change course, but it's really desperate and embarrassing and it's about to be even worse. When this one guy (supposedly on your side) can get Kristen Gillibrand to sound like Laura Loomer, I think even a lot of milquetoast Dems are going to be questioning why this is the priority issue when everything else is going to shit.
- Ironically, it gives the same idpol vibes they were trying to denounce just a few months ago.
It's time for the libs to scratch that itch until it bleeds
die fuckers
If the democrats actually wanted to sink Zohran's campaign, they would have Hillary Clinton come out and endorse him. Can't think of a quicker way to kill every normal person's engagement than by getting the Clinton Kiss of Death.
- Hey, I think you posted this in the wrong thread! You'd probably get more responses if you posted it where you meant to instead of here!
  
  i did, thank you!
