Reality check: Many Democratic Party leaders had believed Mamdani's past comments would be disqualifying to most primary voters. They were wrong.

They will continue being wrong for the foreseeable future as well, because they don't understand how to motivate a user base.

They don't want to motivate a voter base. They want to continue collecting giant checks from corporate donors and the 1%.

The democrats are a business, not a political party
