Zohran Mamdani’s campaign represented a struggle for basic dignity and an affirmation of democratic potential. It was ceaselessly denounced by political and media elites from across the spectrum as something sinister, violent, and dangerous.

Two weeks before the election, four months after the primary. Too little too late.
Look, if you stand before a hundred people in a room and two of them disavow you and then people started publishing stories that the entire room was against you: do you think that would be a fair portrayal? Or do you think it’s just people trying to divide the room into camps?
So we’re doing the bad apples thing now? We know who the leaders of the Democratic Party in New York and nationwide are and many of them either waited for months or just straight up didn’t endorse the literal primary winner, who by all means everyone should endorse from day one. If it was a leftist refusing to endorse, I don’t know, Newsom they’d all be up in arms about leftist division and purity testing. I don’t give a shit what random Democratic official #3011 said about Mamdani; the people running the show showed exactly zero unity with the Mamdani and the left.
They would not all be up in arms, just a couple of individuals. Whoever wins the primary is the DNC and whoever loses is not, until the DNC in practice no longer exists.
I swear to god, democrats will try literally everything else before endorsing a good candidate with popular policies.
What, touring with the war criminal Dick Chaney isn’t gonna win voters?
“No you don’t get it, he did it in the last possible minute, that means he always supported him.”
