      The future of the Democratic Party is just the Simpsons Aliens saying “Forward not backward! Upwards not forwards! And twirling, always twirling towards progress!”

      Dude is getting his name out there as many times as possible to make you remember he was Mayor in South Bend 20 years ago, back before he was rigging bread prices for McKinsey up in Canada.

        Yeah, has Pete given any opinions on Mamdani? Who he supports in that race will clearly show if he believes what he says.

          Highly praised him, stopped just short of endorsing saying he needs to know more about his policy proposals. Said there’s room in the party for dem socialists.

            Because Mamdani is famous for not answering questions about his policy proposals. /s I refuse to believe Mayo Pete is that dumb.

          He said something recently that democrats need to learn from his social media campaigning and remove the “leftist ideology”

          Completely missing the point. Mamdani won because of his policies.
