Mamdani's base is a bunch of privileged crybaby leftists. They're still going around complaining about the party not forming a cult around him. Meanwhile here's a list of Democrats who endorsed Mamdani.
ah yes. Harri's shining leadership moment when she went public endorsing Mamdani was to say, "I endorse the democrat in the race", A full 2 and a half months after he won the democratic primary. Classic Harris/DNC centrist leadership. No kind words, no reasons. WTF took so long? What happened to "vote blue no matter who"? Even Warren waited till after he won the primary. The only prominent Dems who endorsed Mamdani before he won the primary were AOC and Bernie. Everyone else either were silent or endorsed other dems. This might come as a shock to you HakeemG, but the DNC hates progressives.

Its a NY city mayor race that dominated the national news for months and highlighted a vicious self defeating split in the democratic party between centrists and progressives. The DNC could have chosen to stand with the Dem who won the primary and they decided to try hard not to. No funding, no endorsements, no lip service even. All bcause he was muslim. You a minority hater too Hakeem?
You're comments show that you're a centrist pretending to be progressive. Why are you so keen on Harris by the way? Are you sure she is a champion of your causes?
It means when he gets elected the party rallies around him. They didnt do that for months. They kept floating ideas to shank him by running an independent. They finally did when they had no other choice. Your comment again proves that you're a DNC centrist. You are straight up the middle, rooting for the status quo, not being honest. a 5x5 centrist yelling into the void and losing election after election to suck special interests toes, same as all the other centrists. You'll continue to lose every fight you engage in without the left that you hate so much, so pull up a chair and get comfortable with that fact. You're no lefty.
@kreskin
A centrist that would have fired half the NYPD if I was mayor and they wouldn't be beating up my best friend without consequences like Mamdani. I also wouldn't have cut a billion dollars from education and housing or defunded the libraries like he did, but sure if I'm a centrist what does that make your hero?
