With just two days left until NYC's mayoral primary, endorsements for Cuomo highlight a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. Will voters choose establishment figures or embrace progressive change? The stakes are high as the election's impact reverberates beyond city borders. #NYCPrimary
“If a DSA member like Mamdani were to win … it would be terrible for the city,” reads the Third Way memo. “Do New Yorkers really want socialist city-run grocery stores?”
According to an April survey by the Climate & Community Institute and Data for Progress, they do. Two-thirds of New Yorkers said they support the creation of municipal grocery stores … including 72% of Democratic voters
…
Third Way executive vice president Matt Bennett insisted in an interview with Politico on Saturday that a Mamdani victory would allow Republicans to attach the Democratic Party “to ideas that are outside of the mainstream” on a national level.
Just classic establishment Dems here: attacking a wildly popular policy and supporting a corrupt sex offender to avoid fascists calling you a commie.
My son is a mid 20-something, and extremely politically astute (I raised him that way), and none of his friends have that knee-jerk response to communism or socialism. The current system has been so bad, and getting worse, throughout their entire lives, that they don’t understand why we’re trying to save it. They’d just as soon try something different, considering what the current system has led to.

Uh… yes? Is this their idea of spinning things in an unfavorable light? I guess this is the one time we can be glad establishment Dems are woefully out of touch.
A living wage? Fair taxes on Sociopathic Oligarchs? Enforcement of the Emoluments Clause? Enforcement of the 14th Amendment/ Section 3? Criminal trials for Traitors?

Iirc Third Way literally is a fascist expression (Mussolini?) and Hilary Rodham Clinton resurrected it, so it’s horrible policy.
Which they will still do.
Exactly. Why do they worry what fucking TRAITORS think?

Dems aren’t out of touch, they are Republican Lites, and always have been. The Dem leadership need to be purged, and the party re-branded.
Don’t you see what kind of slippery slope this is? What’s next? Affordable housing? Free healthcare??
