Good point. No way Mamdani can get the DNC nomination or win the NYC mayoral race against Cuomo.

Here’s the thing about voting in primaries: DNC will try to ratfuck it 8 ways from Sunday to ensure the leftist can’t win. They partake in corrupt backroom deals to this end. Not only is this wholly undemocratic, but it drags the country further right and further into fascism as a result. Just look at the policy positions of “party leaders” Schmuck and Jeffries, these guys are right wingers at best and full on imperialist colonizers at worst.
We shouldn’t be thinking about ‘28 at all right now, we should be organizing and voting in primaries this year to ensure as many of these rotten corporate turds get flushed as possible. And while you’re at it, write a letter to party leadership and tell them to resign and get the fuck out of our way.

One mayoral race in an extremely liberal city where the establishment candidate is a decrepit sex pest with a million scandals behind him is enough to make you forget the 2020 and 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, the lack of presidential primaries in 2024, and the way every single congressperson who does anything against Israel gets taken out by candidates that receive absurd donations from AIPAC? Oh I guess Mamdani won so the system works as intended…

Did you see all the shit they pulled with him to MAKE HIM LOSE? They would have a Republican win than an admitted socialist win.

No. Can you link a source where the DNC hobbled Mamdani in favor of Silwa?

One: Not endorsing him at all. newrepublic.com/…/democrats-refuse-endorse-zohran…
Two: They didn’t pressure Cuomo to back out. In fact some endorsed him. nbcnews.com/…/democrats-called-andrew-cuomo-resig…
Three: The lack of support, and they actively funded Cuomo as well. cnbc.com/…/mamdani-cuomo-nyc-mayor-bid-billionair…
They didn’t want Madami to win for whatever reason and were fine with Cuomo essentially trying to split the vote which may have resulted in a Republican win.

Bruh they ratfucked it so hard Cuomo literally got a trump endorsement in a desperate attempt to win. Jeffries didn’t even endorse until basically after the election lol

Did the DNC run the candidate elected in the primary?
BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago
They ran but did not support him. With the links I provided, they also had PACs fund Cuomo who was really running as a spoiler candidate.

My perfect leftist candidate is actually super popular but the system is rigged!

Bernie is a Zionist and not a socialist at all. He sucks and if he was in a general election in 2028 I probably would still vote for the PSL candidate because I don’t live in a swing state. But he absolutely was screwed out of the 2020 nomination in a concerted effort from the Democratic Party establishment to get anyone but Bernie to win. Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race until Super Tuesday to act as a spoiler while all the other moderate candidates dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden. The media consistently downplayed Bernie’s early lead. Pete Buttigieg had shady connections to the owners of the app used to conduct the Iowa Caucus. That same Iowa Caucus held “votes” that were based on how loud the audience’s cheers for each candidate were. The media buried the Tara Reade story (CNN even took down an old episode of their radio show where Tara Reade’s mother called asking for help because her daughter had been assaulted by her boss who was a politician in DC).
