    Again, I hope you’re right. Mamdani is the only one I can name, and one snowflake is hardly an avalanche, but it’s a start.

    Edit:

    I think we could have also had the same showing for Mamdani, you know, without Trump. But maybe I’m crazy in that respect. I see no reason why his win has to be predicated on R winning presidency and a shitload of seats, he could have just demonstrated a better strategy with a more decisive outcome was available.

      Not for the lack of public opinion shifting.

      Palestine is the ultimate Litmus test. Politicians who do support Israel are compromised.

      As a response to your edit: Democrats would have been validated in supporting genocide to win and nobody would have dared to support change.

      It’s truly sad this loss was necessary to get them to change their stance on genocide after the Abandon Biden campaign told them in advance.
