Zohran Mamdani’s campaign represented a struggle for basic dignity and an affirmation of democratic potential. It was ceaselessly denounced by political and media elites from across the spectrum as something sinister, violent, and dangerous.

    I’m a consequentialist, their reasons for supporting progress are meaningless in the face of progress.

      No, your a partisan hack. You ignore data that makes your team look bad, and spin data to make them look good.

        The system is partisan. Supporting a third party has a Partisan outcome. You’re effectively a partisan hack supporting the GOP by even comparing the two completely different parties. You’re normalizing destruction of rights fought long and hard to procure.

            DNC want to, based solely on their past legislation and voting history:

            • tax the rich
            • remove money from politics
            • Fairly redistrict to prevent gerrymandering
            • Implement holding time limitations, criminal only focus, and habeus corpus and proper court hearings for immigration enforcement

            You live in a fantasy land.
