@benroyce @jawarajabbi Yes, a person people wanted to vote for...
a person people wanted to vote for *because they voted for him*
Mamdani is elected because people showed the fuck up, not because the democrat org offered him to us
you have cause and effect backwards
we show up, we get 50 Mamdanis
we complain the dem org isn't serving us what we want: stupid lazy excuse making = no Mamdanis
we just show the fuck up
that's it
we're in charge
fuck establishment dems, they're a red herring
Mamdani proves they don't matter, we matter

Yes, it wasn’t because “there was a choice in the final election” it was because PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT THE PRIMARIES!
The old phrase “god helps those who help themselves” makes lots of sense here (regardless of what you want to replace the word “god” with) because ya ain’t gonna see any different results if you just sit back & “wait” for things to happen to you… you have to go out there and wrestle what you want from the system in order for it to work for you 😹

I will say that based on a survey of one, a young man here in the US that I work with (recent graduate of the CA foster care system) I think from this current disaster young people are learning that voting is very important. And your point about primaries is well taken. Primaries is where the fight is this year. If we get great new candidates and young folks to the polls in the primaries we can build a New Demicratic Party. #uspol
