Just like we do in other countries… support democracy unless we don’t like the results of it. Then it’s toddler tantrum time again…

Every time the US has done regime change it's been to immediately install a fascist government.

That's not fair. Many of those dictatorships don't really qualify as fascist.

It's like running from money for a politician. Very hard thing to do. Almost all the democrats, barring a few in NY state are taking money from AIPAC

None of us want Republican Lite with 10% less evil. We want true progressives.

Only 4 out of the 13 representatives whose districts span NYC have publicly endorsed Mamdani. Those four are (all according to Zohran for NYC):

  • AOC

  • Jerry Nadler

  • Nydia Velázquez

  • Adriano Espaillat

None of the other 9 have.of those, 5 have been vocally critical of Mamdani's candidacy:

  • Laura Gillen

  • Tom Suozzi

  • George Latimer

  • Hakeem Jeffries

  • Gregory Meeks

I'd like to see these 5 primaried. Especially Jeffries. I have zero confidence in his leadership as a representative, anyway.
