Screaming "SOCIALIST," "COMMUNIST," "MARXIST," "TERRORIST" - That is what is called messaging? Spewing hysteria is "messaging"? Catering to hysterical people is how a candidate gets elected? Well, fuck me.

The corporate dems are more like republicans than they want to admit. They played patty cake with the supreme court and are getting their weaknesses shoved back into their sad, weak, clumsy, feeble faces. The old guard gave us trump, so what does that tell you? maga crazies have infested most state sand they win! Why are lunatic maga just fine but more liberal dems are threatening? What the hell. So fascist repubs who want to destroy democracy, the rule of law and the constitution have won both houses of congress, the presidency, SCOTUS, and most state legislatures and being progressive is bad for dems? Being for the people economically is bad but winning by hurting people economically is a winner. Dems need new blood, not old crusty relics.

Centirst dems gave us maga crazies. That was not a winning strategy...

Mamdani's a democratic socialist, not a socialist, meaning there's a big place for entrepreneurship & creativity consistent with NYC's collective DNA. The real socialists are the very wealthy & giant businesses which totally need & plumb our national commonweal.

Could this be the Gelded Age?

Trumps inconsistency through a day may be exemplified by his blowing up USMCA, his redo of NAFTA, followed by threats against M&CA ..with the latest blowup with CA. Do you think the ineffective bombing of Persians (he's no Alexander the Great) is a diversion from his compounding failures?
