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.

    “They” this “they” that, is this also the faceless them who own the banks lol? The vast majority, everyone minus a rounding error, endorsed Mamdani and were excited by his victory in the DNC. We’re lucky to have him, like a second Bernie Sanders but not even Bernie runs on the DNC ticket outside of presidential primaries we invite him to participate in.

      Who is talking about the banks? WTF are you on about?

      I think you missed this part again:

      “They begrudgingly supported him once it became clear that he was going to win. They never wanted to support him, they are only doing it to save face.”

      It’s almost like you don’t like engaging with data that doesn’t fit your narrative. Weird, I wonder where I heard that before.
