MODERATORS
Bu- bu- but is he gonna visit Israel? /s
context
In a debate they asked where candidates would visit. Once one of them said they'd visit Israel, a lot of others said they would too. Mamdani basically said he'd stay in NYC because he'd be the mayor and it's important to focus on his constituents. So then the moderators are like "Just to clarify, you wouldn't visit Israel?" And he's like I wanna focus on New Yorkers then they're like "Do you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state?" 🙄 Absolutely insane. The man just answers "where would you visit" by saying he wouldn't travel so he can focus on constituents and it turns into a purity test about his views on Israel's existence? Just shameful. Like imagine if someone is like "I'll have a salad" and then the waiter asks "Do you support cattle farmer's right to earn a living?"

Ya love to see it
I'm honestly surprised Mamdani is still alive in the US, given his name.
It's like hearing about a mayor in a town in Nazi Germany named Abram Mankowitz.

Watch that rat fuck run as independent to split the vote.
He is. It's confirmed
This'll just ensure a republican win, will it not?
Depending on if NY elections are closed or open.
Closed? Not if the same people that voted today vote again.
Open. Likely Republicans will vote across the isle to stick it to the "radical socialist" and vote for Cuomo

Holy shit! It happened! I'm elated.
Edit: Congrats New Yorkers!
The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.
When do you think they'll realize their name is poisonous? Or would that require more introspection than a Clinton is even capable of?
I'm suspicious that sociopaths are a parasitic subspecies. Like there are these alien creatures that look entirely human walking around among us. They look like us, talk like us, but think that the general human species is inferior to their own.
What if they could identify other sociopaths, and were working in concert. Hmm, this is ridiculous.
Anyway, yeah. I don't think Clinton is capable of that level of introspection.

Let's see if Chelsea runs.
LET'S FUCKING GO!
If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.
For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.
Yeah, that's what we all thought when Biden won.
Yeah I didn’t think that. Biden was a bandaid that let the wound fester.

I called the 2024 election when Biden won in 2020. He was a shitty corporate centrist candidate who was never going to address our deep structural inequality, and so frustrated uneducated people voted for change in 2024. Obama won 2008 because people wanted "Change". Trump won 2016 to drain the swamp. We're all so sick of this crony corporate bullshit.
Socialists or we lose. It should've been obvious all along that the "centrists" and "Libertarians" are just embarrassed Republicans. America has been sick and tired of corporations overtly ruling for decades and moderates don't want to own that.
Voters weren't scared of a dictatorship on day one by a guy quoting Hitler. And at this point, they aren't scared of socialism, not anymore. The only way we win elections is by supporting candidates who are actually good. Even if a moderate wins this election, they'll lose us the next election and the good half will be undone. We can only discount the value of the next election iff our candidate will address our broken elections.
TL;DR: Socialists or we lose.
Biden was right when he said "Nothing will fundamentally change"

"Nearly a quarter of early voters had not voted in a Democratic primary at any point between 2012 and 2024."
