I’m taking the broad position that last-minute endorsements of Mamdani are just saving face for the establishment. That window closes in mid-October or so.
Nope. I’d rather have any Democrat in office than more Republicans. Your logic is how Gore lost the 2000 election. The Green votes for Nader were the decider. Gore wanted to address climate change 25 years ago.
idk about that, made them more confident…sure.
but look at all these local/state elections, flipping seats that have been solidly/establishment-D for decades to independents/progressives.
people are turning out in record numbers to vote for independents/progs would suggest that the “Left” in america isnt dead…maybe they’ve just been demoralized from decades of disappointment and Trump and Co. was the wakeup call they needed
not trying to dismiss your concern, things are bad and they are probably only going to get worse for the forseeable furure…but…giving up is exactly is the first/biggest move these psychopaths have, it’s a truly insidious system we’ve managed to imprison ourselves in…
Instead of actually giving voters what they want, Democrats made being “the lesser of two evils” their main campaign strategy and it could only work for so long until people got numb to it which is happening.
Gore lost the legal cases. A few more votes in Florida from Democrats who didn’t apply purity tests and voted Green instead and the world would be a much better place.
Gore lost because instead of talking about his actual passions and knowledge, he listened to his advisors and repeated their focus group tested talking points. He came across as not very sincere & charismatic as wet cardboard and lost. Alot of people who never supported him changed their opinion of him after seeing An Inconvenient Truth.

Want change in the party This is how it happens. Purity tests leave you a political outsider. Welcome each endorsement and they can be reminded later.
Yeah but it’s still just PR to save face. Zohran can use all the endorsements he can get but let’s make sure these ghouls are replaced ASAP.

I don’t think you understood my point. Your comment about preferring a Democrat over a Republican in office doesn’t make any sense.
idk, Trump has done more to mobilize the left these last couple cycles than the last…30 years.
He mobilized the right more.

Didn’t Gore win the 2000 election ? The Bush clan stole it and apparently the US just didn’t care much.

He lost because of Nader and a confusing ballot in PBC.
