Mamdani [View all]

Has anyone been following the amount of shade being thrown at Mamdani by Rep Jeffries?

Keep hearing how big a tent we need to win but apparently that tent is not big enough for progressive Democrats and only for center right Democrats.

Mamdani is a Democrat. He won his election by a significant margin. The alternatives for mayor are literally criminals.

Why does Democratic leadership continue to shit on a fellow Democrat running for a very important office in local government?

This is not how we win in 26 or 28 by shitting on Democrats that have a different opinion than you

Latest example is in this interview with Tim Miller:

Jeffries says he's too busy to deal with this. But Mamdani won the primary in June! Jeffries had plenty of time to issue a statement!

He's so full of shit. Please, someone, primary his ass.
