Zohran Mamdani declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset, as the young, progressive upstart built a substantial lead over the more experienced but scandal-scarred former governor.

“Oh noez! Our strategy of pointing at the far right and saying ‘Us or you’ll be sorry,’ is starting to falter. Quick! Let’s move further to the right!”

That's literally not what's happening here. Nobody is talking about moving to the right, the concern here is that the party, at least in New York, seems to be moving to the far left.

It’s almost as if that’s what the people want, but the gripe with the DNC is that they keep trying to push for neoliberals. That’s why there is “division” in the party. They’re trying to keep the dominance of “moderates” even though that’s not what the people seem to want.
And in the face of all that, Democrats as a whole are constantly referred to as “Marxist leftists” by conservative media… It’s laughable.

Wrong. The people are moving to the Left. And not the Far Left. Just regular Left.
The Party will stay to the Center Right.
