I don't really see it that way, I see Mamdani being welcomed with open arms. He was part of the party before and he still is, now.
No AIPAC funded Democrat has endorsed him. Including many prominent voices in the party.
I think this last year or so has been a turning point though. AIPAC-funding is starting to become a toxic asset, particularly from the perspective of younger voters.
Not my words, but quoting a comment I saw elsewhere:
And I'm starting to see more of this laid out in plain language. Younger voters might have lower turnout, but they are the future voters. And if I was a betting man, they'll come out to vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Amazing that the young ones will have to teach their parents morality but actually I'm not that suprised. I feel many of us will be looking back at the direction boomers and their parents took the world post WW2 and shake our heads.
The first time I took a deep dive into the Israeli-Palestinian 'conflict' was in 2012 and it took all of half an hour to come to the conclusion that Netanyahu has a bloodlust reminiscent of Hitler. It felt shitty to realize that Western propaganda had me believing a lie my entire life (granted I was in my early 20s). But that feeling was soon overcome with an even worse feeling of unease as you realize how many people just accept this genocide as the status quo.
I'm so glad Gen Z is seeing through all this. It was much easier to pull the wool over peoples eyes (in a way) in the pre social media age because news was always curated for us. There's a lot of bullshit out there on the internet don't get me wrong.
But it's hard to argue with pictures of dead children (even though some folk still try).
Mamdani is being welcomed by more junior politicians. A lot of senior politicians are freaked out by him for various reasons.
Boy have you not been paying attention.
