      There’s going to be a lot of rat fucking on BOTH sides. He isn’t any more popular with establishment Dems than he is with Republicans.

      I think it’s great that people like David Hogg and Mamdani are scaring the Trad Dems into exposing their true nature.

      In NYC? This is heavy (D) turf. Blue municipality. Blue state. Overwhelmingly Blue House Delegation. Two Blue Senators. Most of the legislature from the area is DSA, ffs.

      Trump might make noise, but the tip of the spear is going to have to come from the establishment Democratic Party, at least until the election is over. If anything, Trump wants Zohran to win the general, so that he can pull the institutional Dems in next to him when he announces his plan to take over the city, like he’s done with LA.

      I think you mean Democrat fuckery. The Republicans already said they want to deport him to his face.

      Republican don’t have fuckery they just say what evil thing they are gonna do then go ahead and set it in motion all on Twitter for everyone to see.

      Democrats run a primary to pick the candidate to run then when it’s not the guy they want behind closed doors they start the fuckery in secret.
