    Remember kids: Vote blue no matter who only applies to progressives.

    Want to run a campaign against the duly nominated candidate?

    Only if you’re a neoliberal sex pest. Otherwise you want republicans to win.

      You think the DNC is pushing this? Or is this just throwing shit to throw shit?

      Vote blue still applies here. I don’t know who told you it doesn’t.

        Well, let’s see what happens. If the Democratic establishment pushes Mamdani hard, this will be true.

        The person you’re replying to is just used to the establishment fighting against progressive insurgents.

        You think the DNC is pushing this?

        I think they’re going to be more open about doing so as the election approaches.

        Vote blue still applies here.

        Progressives step aside when centrists win the primaries that the party went to court for the right to rig.

          the party went to court for the right to rig.

          Not a fair interpretation of an argument made by a single DNC lawyer in a single context. Also, the primary is over and Mamdani won.

            Not a fair interpretation of an argument made by a single DNC lawyer in a single context.

            A completely accurate representation, made by a lawyer representing the party and setting precedent they have taken advantage of ever since.

            Also, the primary is over and Mamdani won.

            I’m not sorry that the party’s machinations against the left fail sometimes.

      For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election

        It also reminds me of the incumbent NDP ridings we lost to the cons because liberal voters don’t do strategic voting, yet they expect progressives to.

      Vote progressive, the platform is impressive. The people aren’t oppressive and their art is more expressive - their passion is expressive but the message isn’t agressive.

      For the people needs to be accomplished By the people.
