    Sure, but I think it undermines democrats who have been willing to go to bat for Mamdani like Jerry Nadler and Chris Van Hollen.

    I’d like to see as much praise for these people as we see condemnation of people like Gillibrand. The democrats are genuinely split here and it would be valuable to see the correct side come out on top.

      No it doesn’t. It only does if those are the majority of the Democratic party. And they’re not. I don’t think many are finding this meme to mean there aren’t Democrats that toil against the majority of the party. I find the constant purity testing of memes and critique of the Democratic party serves much more to shield the part that shouldn’t be shielded from critique. Oh no, this critique isn’t 99% accurate! Yes. It’s 80% accurate.
