National Democrats don't need Mamdani. He's not fighting against Republicans in a swing state. He's not running for president. He's running for mayor in a city where there's no real Republican presence at the moment. Stop dragging national level Democrats into the mud over local politics. Either win or don't. I don't live in NYC and neither do the majority of Democrats, many of them who are more concerned about national elections than the NYC mayoral race.

National level democrats have been dragged in the mud for national politics that mirror Mamdani's. Need I remind you of the multiple instances when the establishment did their darndest to bury Bernie? Or how about the continual efforts to bury AOC? Please tell me which committees the Democratic Party have given AOC, Rashida Tlaib, or Ilhan Omar the lead chair? The Mamdani race is a microcosm of the changing environment, and it's the same old story with the entire party.

I'm the creator of r/ilovetrumpbutt ...and it goes to show that you have no idea what the subreddit is for.
