They are gonna hand the election to the GOP because they refuse to fucking retire and let a new generation make decisions.
The DNC is just as culpable for both Trump terms as the GOP voters imo.
The DNC already handed the election to Trump. And now that a leftist gets any momentum the DNC are still doing everyhing in their power to prevent leftists from winning.
And they're flubbing it so hard, which is half the joke of all this.
Cuomo was a shoe-in, according to the polls, two months before the election. The dude was going to walk into Gracie Mansion without breaking a sweat. Then Mamdani - a virtual unknown State Senator out of Astoria - gets a bit of traction with his campaign platform and a ton of hate from the Zionist national media. Suddenly, this dark horse candidate is on everyone's TV screens. He's the center of the national fight over the Gaza genocide. And he's getting up on the TV to say things like "Buses should be free at point of use" and "Maybe we could get grocery store prices down if we ran them like the Post Office", which are the crazy left-wing ideas that nobody else is suggesting.
He's glad-handing Brad Lander after the man is bullied by ICE. He's talking about housing reform in one of the most expensive places to live in the country. He's getting car bomb threats from a guy who doesn't know he takes the subway to work. All the worst people you know hate him.
Wins by 12 points. Obama didn't have it this good.
