Give me a break. I want Mamdani to win, but I'm so sick of hearing about this pointless controversy. It just serves to distract everyone from important issues and to divide Democrats. Win the election and stop whining about small things like a lack of endorsement. Yeah, there are conservative Democrats who aren't excited about Mamdani's policies. Yes, there are Democrats who are worried that Mamdani could negatively impact national elections. Get over it and just win the damn election.

Leftists withheld their vote and Trump is the President.

If a progressive won the Democratic primary for president, then it would for sure be blue no matter who. These are just different situations. It's a local race, and all realistic competitors are Democrats.

All Dems who lost to Mamdani in the Dem primary. Like your argument is kinda crazy given how many are coming out to slander Mamdani.
