argue amongst themselves instead of realizing the bigger picture which is to win power and do good things with it
Almost as if people have contradicting ideas about what 'good things' need doing.
But you understand “donors” are just rich fucks
Lmao, idk I don't really think there's anything "just" about being a billionare political donor
Until the NYC/NY Democrat party says “don’t vote for him” then it’s really irrelevant
Unrelated - I have a bridge to sell you
Ok now go look at what the donors are saying.
Mamdani has the majority opinion, that Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights. Zionists have a hard time accepting that as an answer but it's a morally unobjectionable one.
They're not mad because they lost money, they're terrified because Mamdani is a socialist.
Not in the article, but it's not really a secret
It's indicative of a deep, irreversible rift in the party. Either democrats adapt or they split in half.
Either they listen to their voters and become a 'new' democratic party, or they'll continue bleeding numbers and die. Either way, it's still the beginning of the end.
They are going to gamble that they can stay the same because people are/will be so mad about… well everything.
They will 100% try to do this, but they'll end up losing and then blame the voters they're maligning. Mamdani is a case-in-point difference between status quo candidate turnouts and progressive candidate turnout. The 7% delta over Cuomo is the 7% they'll lose if they try it again.
Fun fact - uneven eye dilation can sometimes be a symptom of stroke or aneurysm
If Cuomo runs independent, the democratic party loses any hope of keeping their progressive base and it might actually split entirely.
After bullying their base for the last 10 years to get in line behind their shit moderate candidates, if they were to suddenly decide that primaries don't mean anything then they'd never be able to convince progressives to vote against their interests again.
Cuomo is backed by the democratic establishment and the DNC's donor class. It doesnt matter if he's independent, he's the establishment pick and would be running with their funding.
"Vote blue no matter who"
Mamdani wins historic primary victory
".....shit"
Hmm, I dont think this is true in the most common usage, but it's also not what is meant when people challenge the notion of Israel's 'right to exist'.
Nobody contends that the "shared identity" of Israel has no right to exist, only that Israel as a capital-J Jewish State has no unique or exclusive right to self-determination in Historic Palestine. No state or nationality has a right to deny the self-determination of another group on the basis of ethnic identity.
