I was surprised he won! Unusual, bigger spender wins as a rule of thumb (90%).
I wonder why they allowed him to win… the old switcheroo? stab in the back, “I had a stroke and now I am a fundamentalist Christian?” We will see.
Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US?

Someone who’s around 40 should take for the team and run for President in the 2028 election and campaign the way Zohran Mamdani did when he ran for mayor - run on a left-populist class conscious platform. Seriously!

He ran a type of campaign that his opponents didn’t understand how to counter. Also, he openly collaborated with the same kinds of people that his opponents tried to polarized against him (like calling him dangerous for jews while he’s publicly collaborating with Brad Lander, also Jewish). The attacks simply weren’t credible.

The counter is always the same. “Get independent voters”. That’s ALWAYS the counter. You CANNOT WIN without it, you don’t have enough members in your party.
What’s easier for Democrats to get, I votes or R votes? I’ll wait.

What is your argument? The dnc is stupid. That has nothing to do with mamdani.

A “child of the internet,” my history brought to light by opposition research would unite the country.
It would unite them in their hatred of me lol

I think if platner wins his race then that will embolden a lot of people who feel like they have skeletons to try running.

The US constitution states that one has to be at least 35, be a natural-born citizen (born in the US or with dual citizenships and such) and be living in the country for about 15 years, I think
