Wasn't "we need a good ground game" one of the reasons central to the collapse of the Harris campaign?

I remember being told Trump's ground game was abysmal

Andrew Cuomo had until last Friday to withdraw himself from the November ballot line, which he didn't, so he's still in play for running as Independent in the mayoral election.

Not surprised, you got fucking pieces of shit like Gillibrand and Jake Tapper acting like Mamdani is going to be lining up all the jews and gunning them down day 1 because they're terrified that people are buying into the socialism agenda of not letting billionaires have all of the $$ and shit on us. Fox running tons of shit like "He's evil and vile and he's going to do so much horrible shit!!! also he can't do anything he promised either" just going back and forth in a panic

[Krandor]

Mamdani is not helping himself by specifically saying he wants to raise taxes in whiter neighborhoods

Does he say "Whiter neighborhoods"? Or does he want to raise taxes on certain distributions of wealth and they all happen to be concentrated in white neighborhoods?

Sounds like a case of the latter with media spin but I haven't heard him outright say anything.

[Krandor]

He edited it out of his website after getting called out on it but his tax plan did specifically cover how he planned to raise taxes in "richer and whiter neighborhoods"

Can Google it to find plenty of articles.

Making the poorer neighborhoods pay less taxes makes absolute sense, just don't word it the way he did to give free ammunition

[archibaldcrane]

It was a race-neutral policy that he bafflingly framed as taxing richer, whiter neighborhoods.

Just leave out the race commentary, it's counterproductive. Just like you don't have to say boosting welfare helps POC.

Yeah, someone done goofed writing it up that way.

I do like how we have Dems going on MSNBC and CNN and trying to bash Mamdani instead of talking about the bullshit bill. Wasting so much effort because he's not a "proper" dem

[Xno Kappa]

Kistern Gillibrand's done a fuckton of amazing work regarding sexual assault in the military. Seeing her name disparaged on here is disappointing. Mamdani won, plain and fucking simple. Support his god damn ass! Democrats are beyond fucking pathetic with this entire situation and then have the god damn nerve to wonder why they keep losing.

[Tyrath]

I mean if she doesn't want to be disparaged, she should stop being racist.

Or at least stand against serial sexual harasser Cuomo

Zohran had a huge turn out of the 18-40yr old base...so yes it turns out that giving that age group something to vote for does actually have an impact on things. Unlike how the media and others try to frame it when it comes to Harris.

You keep acting like this is a good thing its not it means these people can be staring down fascism and refuse to do anything unless you give them free stuff.

[Cantih]

Yeah, we should only be electing governments that do nothing for us because they don't give a single shit about us.

Fucking dipshit

Free stuff? Mother fucker isn't out here handing out Iphones to his supporter gang or something. Maybe the Harris campaign should have done a bit better job along with the Dems instead of calling him a fascist and saying it would be the end of the world and then doing literally nothing and even siding with him on things like immigration. You can't really call a dude a racist hate monger and then be like "But on the border policy I totally agree with Hitler 2.0!" to try to win all of 1-2 votes from someone who usually votes Red.

Elected officials need to do shit to better the people who elected them, that's part of the job. Not writing sternly worded letters or frowning on camera, or suddenly going 110% pure zionist after having a stroke.

Shit, Jefferies/Schumer and all of them would rather slam Zohran with any media coverage they get then talk about the BBB that's going to fucking kill 50k ppl per year as the low estimate currently. That should tell you everything you need to know about the establishment and why people don't give a fuck about it anymore.

[Lucavi]

And why would the establishment care? They're getting checks every 2 weeks. The opposition party in Germany didn't give a shit until their assets were seized and they were murdered.

This is just how humans are. "I got mine" syndrome is a fucking infestation of the brain.
