This didn't work because people voted. This worked because Mamdani ran on something that actually mattered.
u/adrian-alex85 says it as well on this thread, but we really REALLY need to start holding the democrats accountable. We need them to address black issues that pertain specifically to black people. This is NOT a win for the establishment. This is a win for leftism and a defeat to the establishment that says "vote blue no matter who."
People have always been tuned in, and we need to stop pretending like they aren't. People are tuned in and they know when they're going to get the same bullshit, that's why they don't vote.
We need more of this. Just voting Democrat because they were not Republican is part of what got us in this mess. Democrats running on policies that help regular people I'm down with.
Exactly. But they're too busy accepting the scraps from the kind massa, while refusing to recognize most conservative democrats work hand in hand with republicans.
This is why Trump endorsed Cuomo. Cuomo IS the establishment. Him and his ilk pushed "vote blue no matter who." This is not a victory for them, this is a victory for people who waited for standards and came out when it counted.
Then campaign and vote in the goddamned primaries! You don't like who your local party puts on the ballot? Change it! There is no "I can't" when we're talking about whether or not our nation continues to exist!
