The democratic party is why we have Trump. The republican party is why we can't get rid of him.

Democratic party's steadfast insistence on running losers and ratfucking any potential winner is also why we can't get rid of Trump.

The message: don't vote for these backwards fucksticks

I hear you but it’s not obvious who “these” refers to.

If the old guard isn't up to the task of representing the best wishes of the people who voted them into office then we need to refrain from voting for them any further and continue voting for new progressives like Mamdani.

Make a list of the stinky corpo aipac transphobic dems.

Corporate fascist enabling liberals strike again.

And did Mamdani send a scary message when he refused to back Harris?

He refused to back her in the primary, which is where team blue is supposed to express preferences for and against other Democrats.

He also didn't endorse her after the primary.

Was he even asked? He was a random assemblyman, not a representative of the party or even a faction within it. Did your lower house state representative endorse? I don't think mine did and not because he's at odds with the party. I'm not even sure if my city's mayor made an endorsement.

Regardless, Jeffries and Schumer are the leaders of a party, a very different role, and have actively avoided it, making the big tent they're supposed to be building a lie, meaningfully promoting inter party strife, and giving cover to a fascist confrontation once he's elected. Their actions as leaders of a party (with 20% approval) matter.
