Zohran Mamdani’s victory over Cuomo in NYC’s mayoral primary has sparked a progressive movement demanding change in the Democratic Party. Will this seismic shift lead to more insurgent candidates challenging establishment lawmakers? The time for change is now. #ProgressiveRevolt #Mamdani

    Still blaming progressives for Dems eating shit in the elections lmao classic lib shit

    Dems didn’t lose because PSL ran, they lost because they doubled down on the genocide and refused to listen to anything the voters were telling them. They’ve got no one to blame for 2024 but themselves.

      No, I’m an anarchist who understands math.

      Dems didn’t lose because PSL ran, they lost because they doubled down on the genocide and refused to listen to anything the voters were telling them.

      Meaningful change starts locally in one’s community and groups like PSL and the Putin-aplied Greens don’t even pretend to try to engage in local politics. They only run spoiler candidates and disappear for four years. The only functional purpose of these orgs is to help get right-wingers elected in federal elections, while maintaining a facade of leftism and getting rewarded by oligarchs.

      They’ve got no one to blame for 2024 but themselves.

      I’m not a from but myself, my family, my community, and the Palestinian people have been impacted by people like yourself putting your own egotistical desire to feel morally superior before meaningful actions to help improve the world. You fell for right-wing propaganda and betrayed vulnerable people as well as humanity at large. Congrats?

        Considering you think third parties candidates are “spoilers helping prop up right-wingers in national elections” I seriously doubt that.

        They only run spoiler candidates and disappear for four years

        PSL does a shitload of local organizing and are constantly on the front lines of protests. You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

        They only run spoiler candidates

        lmao some fucking democracy you’ve got there. “Everyone who runs against Dems is a spoiler candidate” yeah okay liberal.

        I’m not a from but myself, my family, my community, and the Palestinian people have been impacted by people like yourself putting your own egotistical desire to feel morally superior before meaningful actions to help improve the world

        And voting for Democrats would have fixed that? Buddy, Kamala was just as pro-Israel and pro-genocide as Biden was. If she had won the election the genocide would still be going on full steam, but you wouldn’t give a fuck because you’d be right back at brunch.

        The Democratic Party, just like the GOP, only serves capital. They don’t give a fuck about you, your family, your community, or the Palestinian people, who had been slaughtered by Democrat-provided bombs but now get to be slaughtered by Republican-provided bombs.

        Anarchist my ass, fuck off LIB

          Everyone who disagrees with me and/or disagrees with only approving of ineffectual, performative action that causes objective harm to vulnerable people is a lib!

          My apologies. I didn’t realize what instance you came from. Have fun pumping that ego of yours and lending measurable aid to fascists and genocideers. While you, as a human being, are worth something (don’t let anyone tell you different), your myopic rhetoric is not and provides nothing of value to humanity or the Left.

          If you want to reply with more vitriol and “convenient” redefinition of reality, I will block you but, I’m not going to be a jackass and do so just so that I can get the last word in. Hope you have a good weekend, if it is one for you.

            Nah it was your attempt to shame me for not voting Democrat and your constant shilling of the Democratic establishment that was the reason for me calling you a liberal. You’re not fooling anyone with that “I’m actually an anarchist” line, actual anarchists aren’t going to get mad about someone because they didn’t vote for a girlboss genocide cop.

            My apologies. I didn’t realize what instance you came from

            MOOOOOOM THE HEXBEARS ARE BEING MEAN TO ME ONLINE AGAIN rage-cry

            Have fun pumping that who of yours and lending measurable aid to fascists and genocideers

            Not sure what you’re getting at here since the first half of this sentence is incomprehensible. Are you trying to imply that not voting for a party because they promised to continue arming a genocide is “lending measurable aid to fascists and genocideers”? Is that how you try to rationalize defending genocide?

            I will block you but, I’m not going to be a jackass and do so just so that I can get the last word in

            Oh no, not blocking! lmao this isn’t reddit you fucking lib, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from replying to you.

            But please, tell me more about how I’m a bad person because I refuse to vote for a bunch of rabid pro-Zionist Democrats.
