    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.

            The answer is simple: They don’t want people to take care of their communities; to them that tax money should be going to billionaires and corporations (and, by extension, themselves).

                Same reason they picked Harris: they’re drinking their own kool-aid on identity politics. Just like how because Harris is a black woman they tried to sell her as a progressive feminist and not the bootlicking prosecutor she actually is, they assumed that because Walz was an old white guy he was only pretending to use progressive rhetoric and shat their pants when they realized he was genuine about it.
