    He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.

    As a Canadian I know almost nothing about Zohran Mamdani, but I do know that he has more class than a man ever will who, while President of the USA, writes this, or the people who see a non-white left-winger win a democratic vote and immediately call for his deportation. The world can see this. Trump and MAGA are bringing shame on your country.

    The really funny thing about this is that he probably would have been almost as mad if Cuomo won the primary, but it shows that he really doesn’t have any faith in his party’s candidate in the generals lmao.

    I feel like getting trump to write an angry tweet about you is as good an endorsement as Weird Al wanting to parody your song.

      I have my doubts that we did it twice. 2024 looks fishy. I’m glad it’s finally starting to get talked about

          I think it might get a lot of people who don’t like what’s happening but accept it to cross over into not accepting it.

          I’m not super hopeful that it would matter legislatively or judicially, but I might be the kick in the pants the population needs to go on a general strike, or take other actions.

            I hope you are right and will put what effort I can towards the goal, I just am not as sure about the outcome as you are.

      40 years of crippled public education and propaganda talk radio

      It isn’t pathetic, it is an engineered strategy that has been ongoing since before any of us were born and it’s working because almost no one bothers to do anything but meme about it

    Remember when people didn’t get elected because they weren’t “presidential” enough?

          IDK what you mean, Bernie Sanders is the most popular overall politician in the USA and he made it to the final two in multiple presidential primary elections before losing by large margins of votes.

            They literally combined super delegates won by different candidates and then said he lost to that.

            Another example, David Hogg getting removed after his win.

              1. Idk what year you’re talking about but Bernie lost by 3,708,294 votes (Bernie 13,206,428 to Clinton 16,914,722) in 2016 and by 9,400,078 votes (Bernie 9,680,424 to Biden 19,080,502) in 2020.

              2. David Hogg was removed from a committee by vote after another member issued a formal complaint that their February ballot did not follow internal gender parity rules by combining candidates in a way that disadvantaged female candidates. David Hogg left his position gracefully but decided on his own to not run for the position again.

                The popular vote numbers are convincing on the face until you realize that Sanders conceded before all the primaries were held. This means for a lot of states Biden was the only option.

                It would be a better argument if Sanders was a viable candidate in every race.

                Regardless he did concede and you can litigate the reasons for that if you guys want.

                  Lmao, first that guy claims he won the popular vote, then you claim he didn’t withdraw many months into both primaries. Whats the next claim going to be? That the DNC chairs held each voter at gunpoint?

                Bernie won NH, NV, and won the popular vote in Iowa in the 2020 primaries. Biden took SC, then right before Super Tuesday, every other candidate in the field dropped out IN UNISON and endorsed Biden. This was a direct action from top DNC leadership to smother out Sanders, a truly viable populist, progressive candidate that threatened status quo Dem economic policies. You can throw numbers around, but you can’t erase what we saw with our own eyes.

                Then! Then, the Democratic Party said “fuck a primary” in 2024, disguised Biden’s lack of mental acuity, forced a candidate on its voters, and built an entire platform (which lost) on appealing to moderate Republicans.

                Open your eyes; we either need new leadership, or a new party.

                  Nobody has ever successfully primaried an incumbent. People like you get made that 2024 primary was normal.

                  Even if you think Biden somehow stole endorsements, the popular vote difference was double. Biden had double the votes that Bernie had.

                  What we desperately need is to remove every Republican
