    But national Republicans have already spotlighted Tuesday’s primary. “Every single Democrat now owns Mamdani’s radical socialist agenda to defund police, abolish prisons & stop ICE from deporting criminals,” the committee posted later, quoting House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries congratulating Mamdani.

    Guess I’m socialist.

    Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.

    Oh please don’t throw me in the briar patch!

    spoiler

    Bre’r rabbit begs and pleads to brer fox to do anything but throw him in the nearby briar patch. Bre’r fox hears this and decides to do exactly that. What he doesn’t know is that rabbits are brought up in dense thickets so he is accustomed to it and shouts “I was bred in a briar patch”. Being thrown in the briar patch ultimately allows him to escape from bre’r fox who is shocked and can’t really believe what had just happened.”

    This is the best piece of political news in 2025 so far.

    Roll with it. Hard.

    They’re too up their asses to realize that’s a tactical error on their part. Make progressives the new face of the Democratic party, and sell the shit out of progressive values, stated clearly and plainly.

    If the old guard of the democratic party are shitting the bed over his victory. MAGA must be absolutely mortified at the thought. God I want absolutely no compromise socialists in charge.

      Even if the no compromise socialists do end up compromising, it will still be a better result than what we have been getting from democrats for decades because at least hard left socialists would start from a strong position, rather than a position most reasonable people might find agreeable only to get yanked to the right by the fucking fascists.

      Democratic Party usually: “Vote blue no matter who.”

      Democratic Party with Mamdani: “Yabbut…” They are absolutely losing their minds over this. Refusing to endorse him and will probably try to sabotage him. Their reaction to this is exposing how truly full of shit they really are.

    Trump took my job. If I still had my job maybe I wouldn’t entertain ideas of converting to socialism. I can’t be a capitalist without capital.
