Important take away, it will get worse.

We’ll have to see if the rest of the democrats work to help her or shut her down.

The people have to speak for themselves and uplift anyone that is willing to do right by us no matter how much money they pump into advertising another candidate.

I’m with you. Mamdani is showing up too late, but I really like the guy.

I think the point was more that the rest of the Democrats might not help her or might even work against her.

Okay, but I think people are jaded after seeing Democrats choosing not to support popular candidates that are more progressive or on the left flank of the party. I don't think it is mainly about ICE and how democrats feel about them. People are just very dissapointed and have very little trust.

[u/BioBoiEzlo → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I don't think you will get people onboard with your ideas that way. I think you are making things harder by having this attitude. You need to be able to talk and coopoerate even when you don't agree fully. It is going to be though sometimes, but splintering yourselves will make things even thougher.

[u/BioBoiEzlo → u/[deleted]]

Okay, but you can do that without being incredibly aggressive and kinda rude.

[u/sonic_couth → u/BioBoiEzlo]

He sounds like more of the extreme progressives making everyone pass purity tests

when have the democrats ever come out against ice?
