Roundybout Posted June 25 Posted June 25 11 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: It’s Joever. And this is what the Democrats want. They had a split ticket on purpose so he would win - one of the candidates was Andrew freaking Cuomo. They are the socialist party but no longer hiding it anymore. There is no other position to take because Trump out flanked them. I’ve been saying this since 2016. Obama really was just your starter home. Establishment Dems like Schumer don’t want someone like Mamdani, exemplified by their endorsement of Cuomo. This isn’t the Democrat party, this is a new movement of people who feel neither party offers them much of a future. Right or wrong, they’re voting.

Those parties exist in formula but each party has a war raging between the establishment wing and populist wing. Trump leading the Republican Party has helped steer R’s towards populism at a far faster rate.. but the constant pull of the socialist left has, over time, started to break the establishment Democrat stranglehold of the party. Establishment failings on both sides obviously has accelerated this as well.
ComradeKayAdams Posted June 25 Posted June 25 2 hours ago, Roundybout said: I think Eric Adams absolutely can, especially now that he can craft a proper campaign against Mamdani Cuomo is definitely the wild card. I hope he slinks back to his home with Weiner. Eric Adams is probably the best option of the three, but I don’t think he can beat Zohran with Cuomo and Sliwa still in the race. He’ll also need to build up a semi-competitive ground game. You can’t just scream “Socialist! Jihadist! Communist! Anti-Semite!” from afar and expect anyone outside the PPP MAGA nursing home demographic to take you seriously. My guess is that the race will come down to the working-class minority neighborhoods, and so I really like Team Zohran’s odds. He’s refined the AOC 2018 playbook that enabled her to take down Joe Crowley. Oh, and I’m now hearing rumors of corporate donors pressuring Cuomo to stay out of the general election. So the establishment Dem fear is both palpable and justified, in both NYC and throughout the rest of the country. Trumpian and Israeli politics are absolutely factoring into these political dynamics, but demographic breakdowns in the NYC mayoral race polling data suggest more fundamental economic fissures in play…fissures that were equally emergent in the polling data during the 2016 and 2020 Bernie primaries.

Big Blitz Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 2 hours ago, SCBills said: Honestly.. a really good assessment, regardless of how one feels about the messenger. Maybe. But then why aren’t the 40 something’s ever voting socialist? They’re more broke than these kids that don’t have kids or a mortgage and quite frankly - at least this group that votes Democrat - isn’t really interested in a family first. They also didn’t grow up knowing the Cold War. They never learned about socialism as a negative in the schools where they were absolutely indoctrinated. The women want to vote abortion above everything else. Then their boyfriends have to vote the same way. Fight the patriarchy and all that. The problem in this country is the matriarchy. White liberal women - in positions of power across all academia - liberal women most men in this country have ever known throughout their school years from K-12 all vote on emotion and feelings first. There is nothing they share in common with the American Dream. They don’t think this country was ever great. You want proof? They can’t even say we’re great:

When Tom Morello plays with Springsteen, word is that he's "quite uncomfortable" with dynamic ticket pricing as offered by Ticketmaster and made his feelings known backstage by leaving a post-it note in Bruce's dressing room at the Honda Center in Anaheim. When he orders up a Lyft or Uber ride on his Apple iPhone, he won't even get into a Honda due to the carbon footprint of the manufacturer. At Coachella brought to you by Heineken™, he refuses to drink the free brew offered instead preferring to have his drink of choice shipped by UPS/Fedex and stored in a custom Rage Against the Machine™ Yeti™ cooler. He's also a committed activist, haven spoken out about the dangers of climate change whenever he embarks on a national/international tour to play in front of thousands who travel long distances to come see him. Unconfirmed rumor: he doesn't even use the heater on his swimming pool at his 2700 sf LA home unless it's super chilly out. 1 3
