The States : red states in a race to the bottom

Sounds like a bit of a route going on in NYC. I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm skeptical that a young idealist will succeed as mayor but for the love of all that is righteous and pure please don't put that revolting, arrogant sex pest in elected office.

Huge congratulations to the Pod Save Guys, the Abundance Guys and all the Democratic pundits who suddenly discovered Mamdani and started saying nice things about him less than 36 hours ago as soon as the Polymarket odds shifted - this victory is all you guys, great work

He’s also a SOCIALIST!!1! As if Republicans haven’t been calling anyone not far right enough for them a “socialist” for decades and now they’re shocked that someone actually who kinda, sorta is maybe like that won.

They’re scared.
 
Damn, I was really hoping for "Gallows for convicted conservatives". I suppose he's gotta slow-roll it, and run to the left after he's sworn in. :LOL:

Yesterday the Daily Fail was describing him as a "failed rapper".

To be honest, some of the more recent progression has been most visible in NYC. AOC coming forward was the start.

Yeah, NYC has really been the incubator for a lot of candidates like this.

Which is honestly surprising because it’s NYC, the home of Wall Street, political corruption, and “maintain the status quo!”

Zohran’s victory is a repudiation of the DNC’s tack to the center, “maintain the status quo” strategy. And now those same people are online spewing “oh it’s just NYC, it’ll never work in the rest of the country.” Can’t speak for anywhere else but, in Alaska I don’t know if it would work because nobody’s ever tried it here.

People are not happy with the status quo, it’s a good chunk of why Dump won. He’s was full of shit but he’s was out there going “I’m gonna lower prices on eggs and gas, I’m gonna bring jobs back” etc. It was all lies but it resonated because this country is shit and he was offering solutions, racist, fascist bullshit solutions but still.

Zohran won because he was offering solutions that resonated with people. Especially, shockingly to establishment Dems, among young people.
 
Exactly. Aside from keeping soc and Medicare intact, Dems need to tune out the social issues concern trolling of whiny Boomers. We know the majority of them are selfish pieces of shit and they aren't going to change at this point in their lives. They're also old and dying (albeit slower than elderly reactionaries did in the past). If Democrats don't jump on the landmine that is Gen Z men getting more conservative/authoritarian and propose policy solutions to counter that, then they deserve to keep losing elections going forward.

That would require the establishment Democrats to willingly give up power, which they won’t do. They’d rather hang until they’re dead, and even then they expect their staffers to Weekend At Bernie’s them for at least six months ala Feinstein.
