    If even Mamdani isn’t good enough for you people then it’s no wonder the Democrats abandoned their left flank.

      The Dems have never supported the left, or thrown us a bone. They serve capital, and the electoral process is a great filter to prevent leftist politics from reaching political power.

        I’d think that, if not for how all these relatively minor criticisms of Mamdani’s politics have been red lines for people here.

        Though I suppose there’s a difference between the “terminally online left” and the trade unions and the progressives. There’s no excuse for throwing out both the trade unions and the progressives, even if there is one for throwing out the terminally online left.

          No, actually, rhetorically supporting the case for war against Venezuela is not a “minor criticism”.

          The time to criticize them is not when they’re being bombed.
