    Dumbshit Democrat voters need to be reminded how horrible Trump is. Can’t remember just four fucking years ago.

      The Democratic establishment has still failed to line up and support Mamdani in NY, so there isn’t going to be much patience on the left for hearing about what Democratic “voters” don’t get. The voters aren’t the source of the problem.

          Only Obama has come close to a real endorsement, and none came in when they might have mattered, Has Jefferies even worked up the courage to endorse him by name yet, or is it still just “the Democratic candidate” LOL?

            Lol, moving the goal posts? Classic Trumper tactic. You were proven wrong and now you’re pretending like you were talking about something ekse.

              Nope. First of all, the Trumper tactic is always to overturn the game-board. They don’t give a shit about goalposts. Second, the goalpost was “line up and support Mamdani” which you actually moved to “endorsed Mamdani” which is not the same. Their endorsements were nothing more than concessions. It was last-minute realignment to position themselves to benefit from the win, or at least not suffer as much embarrassment. It was never support.

              More like a last minute concession. There is no point to an endorsement when it’s clear the die has been cast.

                Him and Schumer really just damaged their own brand and people’s opinion of their leadership. They’ll be gone next year.

        Blaming the “establishment” is just a pathetic excuse.

        You don’t get to call yourself “left” when you help bring Trump to power. End of story. You betrayed every single one of your supposed values.

          Well, I’m waiting. You made quite the charge there. How did I betray my values? How did help bring Trump to power?

          And how did I do that exactly?

            Something something “you called out bad polices by my favorite party, youre a trump supporter” or whatever else they were fed by their liberal billionaire think tank.

      Yes lmao, but also democrat leaders need to be better at messaging then just “at least were not Trump.” Trump is a populist leader, the only one speaking for the far right and democrats are just … centre right. Clearly going left moderate like Mamdani is the way to get the votes.

        Trump is psychotic right-wing pedophile convicted felon. WHAT FUCKING MESSAGE DO YOU NEED? 10 million more voted for Biden. In four years, the “establishment” drove them to not vote? Give me a break. A bunch of shortsighted immature idiots fucked this country over by refusing to do the right thing.

        Whatever policy they used to justify sitting out in 2024 is NOT being further by Trump.

        Clearly going left moderate like Mamdani is the way to get the votes.

        Dems didn’t win in Virginia by moving further left. Obviously, different areas have different concerns and require individualized approaches.
