Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Any politician criticizing Mamdani receives money from AIPAC…
Wow what a coincidence,
Free Palestine from the apartheid genocidal colonizers, the fascist Israeli regime!
Shocker progressives are popular because checks notes … they fight for everyone not just the rich
Posting this to offend the white supremacist mods in the politics forum
They knew, that's why they threw Bernie Sanders under the bus over and over. The ones controlling the DNC do not want to lose their corporate backers if they allow true social equality.
The funny thing is that The Betoota Advocate is a satirical newspaper - but this is not satire
Well well well, looks like not being republican lite does the trick
Don't worry guys. I'm sure the democrats will learn this this time around...
Susan collins is that you?
My expectation is that this will motivate them to pull another Ross Perot. They will spend all of their time working with Republicans between this election and the next dreaming up institutional hurdles to a socialist making headway in a political campaign, just like they made it institutionally impossible for third parties to sniff a presidency.
If Mamdani actually does try to do the things he says he will (which I doubt) those efforts to institutionally hamper non-conservative candidacies will be doubled.
That's pretty positive honestly, my bet is they try to imprison or kill him like every other popular socialist in modern history.
I think it will depend on Cuomo and the polling. It might be that Cuomo's presence is enough to dilute Mamdani's advantage in the election and I have no doubt the billionaires don't care if it's Adams or Cuomo sending public money their way.
But they're definitely doubling down on gatekeeping political candidacy.
Dems continue to be baffled by the popularity of progressive politicians. They can’t fathom Americans wanting less & less to do with their moderate-right-wing bullshit, while the far-right moves farther & farther right.
Jesus fucking christ, where my crew at?
This is our moment to fucking run it in the faces of the idiots telling us we needed to have candidates with barely left of center politics in this country.
People who have told you you need to accept less from candidates because abwd are the toxic bane that handed us Trump. You can't win elections on being a diet piece of shit; you actually have to stand for some thing.
