Right? He shouldn’t endorse even without an alternative, seeing as the establishment democrats are leading us to ruin, and into the arms of the republicans, there should be no endorsement before one. He could express support for an issue without endorsing a candidate that represents an unwinnable strategy at odds with everything he claims to stand for.
There is no world in which these democrats keep the Republicans from Absolute Power if they remain in control. Therefore endorsing one is a betrayal. Boooo indeed. It didn’t take mamdani long to roll over for the corrupt political machine in new york.
Not the establishment democrats. Jesus christ, first he’s best friends forever with the president, now endorsing the governor, it didn’t take him long to lose his populist appeal and roll over for corrupt new york politics.
And by leftist I don’t mean someone who believes in socialism or Marx. I mean someone who has no answers but still shits on people doing damage control.
I don’t get hung up on directional guidance from people living up the asses of billionaires or their lackeys. Straight backwards is the only direction I care about right now, come join us in the sun! I know it feels warm and safe up there, but there is no future going further inside.
He is the only one coming with populism, aggressively.
The question we should be asking is, why are there no challengers for democratic leadership when it’s wide open? Why are there no white guys doing a populist message? Then answer is the establishment kills them in the cradle, the minority populists can slip past as they aren’t seen as an existential threat to the party. Something is fundamentally broken in the party, from the top down it has the wrong people in charge. Zohran showed what we already knew, the answer to republicans is not being more like them but weaker and a pushover and with gay marriage. The answer is an aggressive alternative message. We are being screwed, it’s getting worse, we see who is screwing us, and we are going to do something about it! And so forth.
It will take more than one politician anyway, but we need a big one to get the ball rolling farther. Despite my misgivings here Zohran could still help get the momentum, what we need is organization, innumerable groups federated on general forums to cooperate on what we agree on both privately and publicly as we see fit, so we can organize around what we agree on. From that we can find real leaders, enough to start a mass movement and wholesale change every democrat that is unwilling to get on board with popular reform.
Because we have maybe 1 more chance, now the odds are considerably longer with republicans openly planning on cheating 7 ways from sunday, and no one to stop them, with all institutional forces convinced by Biden’s shit show that republicans are an inevitability and standing up for democracy only brings personal risk and consequences. But in the succession there is a chance, and the president will get vetoed by old man time at some point in the near future. There is no obvious replacement, there will be a knife fight in the viper’s nest, and that’s is perhaps our last chance to take it back, squandered with newsome and the establishment democrats.
Booooooooo
Who do you endorse?
How about … Jamaal Bowman.
Zohran should twinkle and dimple at him and charm him into running.

Oh. You’re a leftist.

And how do you propose to get there from here? Your post just said to do nothing.
I had hoped Zohran could help lead the way, but we will have to wait for some true populists outside of the state of new york it appears.
How would Zohran have better led the way in this instance in your opinion?
Concrete answer.
