Progressive Politics

But why would he be in the fascist lite party to begin with?

The Democratic establishment are almost as bad as Republicans are at this point. He beat his competition in the primary, so that's what voters want. I don't understand why they are debasing themselves like this, it's humiliatingly shameful.

It's... scared

From March 2010

"Already caught up in a scandal involving a close aide, embattled New York Governor David Paterson was charged on Wednesday by the state's ethics watchdog for unlawfully taking free baseball tickets to the 2009 World Series.

The charge came days after Paterson ditched his short-lived campaign for a new term in office following revelations that he and state police had spoken with a woman who accused a top governor's aide, David Johnson, of assault last year.

After speaking with Paterson, the woman failed to appear in court and her case was dismissed, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story."

I am so sick of seeing people abuse the word "tremendous" like this following in asshat's footsteps, but at least it's a nice, straightforward way for me to identify people to hit with a baseball bat if I can ever get away with it.

Is a primary not "Democrats ... [coming] together and [deciding] to support whichever candidate has the most support among them?"

Perfect. Given how unpopular the Democratic party is at the moment, this must have positive effect for Mamdani.

@finitebanjo@lemmy.world how do you defend/brush this one away?
