I for one think that Islamophobia is as serious an offense as sexual misconduct and that Gillibrand should be cancelled and resign, just like Al Franken.

The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.

Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?

He’s already gotten endorsements from some of the most influential progressives. Fuck the centrists. NY wants change that benefits the working class.

I wouldn't trust Elizabeth Warren she a snake who will if the party tells her to, will bend the knee and pull her endorsement and give it to the rapist. Remember she sabotage Sanders 2020 run because she thought they make her VP.

It's less that she's a centrist, more that she's an AIPAC beneficiary. She's sponsored by Israel, just like Schumer.

Unfortunately, the establishment Dems have the desires of the voters in one hand and they're weighing that against hundreds of millions of dollars in soft money in the other, and so far the money has an uninterrupted win streak.

And Gilibrand has already clearly signaled which side she favors.

Never forget Hillary v. Bernie.

That was when it kicked off in earnest.

I still think that if there's one single person who deserves more of the blame than anyone else for Trump becoming president in the first place, it's Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
