The limits of Democrats’ influence are showing.
As Mamdani is illustrating, the secret is actually incredibly simple - all you have to do is listen to people then sincerely advocate for their interests.
The problem is that that’s literally impossible for essentially the entire Democratic leadership and most of their candidates. They don’t listen, they’re not sincere and they’re wholly owned by the wealthiest donors and represent their interests exclusively. So they’re stuck blundering their way through whatever dumbass strategies their overpaid and not-coincidentally well connected consultants dream up, and trying to blame leftists when they predictably fail.
And in 3.5 years if they fail again, they’ll blame you.
Before the election isn’t the time to rock the boat and demand reforms. After the election isn’t the time to rock the boat and demand reforms.
We are in government now. We can’t focus on improvements right now. We are in opposition now. We can’t focus on improvement right now.
Word. If they wanted to just copy Putin’s assault on social media, they could have started 10-15 years ago when they found out what he was doing (& when they could have had a hand stopping his plays).
Mamdani shows the way. Ditch the billionaires & corporations. Talk about everything wrong with both of our money grubbing parties. Dream a people party. Listen to the people, represent the people. Billionaires are a blight on global politics & society, not just the USA.
Damn, well fucking put.
