Driving the news: On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.
New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the “absolute wrong choice for New York.”
Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had “serious concerns.”
Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November’s general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who’s also running as an independent.
I am tired of shitty Democrat candidates using our constitutional crisis to perpetuate the status quo that is not working. These geriatric fucks need to just die already and let the younger fighters do their jobs.
Younger fighters are the reason MAGA worked.
No, we just need to do exactly what NYC just did and show up to the primary and vote for the progressive. They run all the time, but mostly just retirees vote in them, then everyone complains about the two centrists on the ballot.
It’s really that simple. Vote in primaries.
Wait…are you calling trump young??? I was with you up until that last part. Now I’m just confused.
Exit polls shows Gen Z, males especially, leaned disproportionately to Trump, so I’m guessing the previous poster is referring to the Trump campaign’s strategy of taking advantage of impressionable boys.
…which is another one of those ‘history rhymes’ things.
Yeah, the “GenZ males are ultra-conservative” thing is largely caused by, I shit you not, the gooner to alt-right pipeline. This is the kind of shit you can’t make up.
And with that comes my reason to grumple at the younger generation. They got no rizz!
THATS RIGHT! THE OLD GUY IN THE ROOM JUST LOW KEY STOLE YOUR LINGO IN A CRINGE WAY NO CAP!!! OHIO!!!
…am I doing this right?
Bogus, dude.
This guy gets it.
