      Ftfy.

      Money doesn’t win elections, people do. We see it over, and over, and over again. And even so, Mandami is probably positioned to be one of the number one fundraisers in the country with all the earned media they’ve generated.

      There is a real way they can beat Mandami, which would be to have him kidnapped by ICE. So.

        Propaganda wins elections. The less educated the population is, the more likely they are to fall for propaganda and media manipulation. America has a lot of uneducated voters.

          America does but NYC is a fairly different electorate. I canvassed for Mamdani and many voters were exposed to anti-Mamdani propaganda and voted for him anyways. The cost of living in NYC is a far larger threat than narratives they come up with.

          And the best thing is they are voting for lawmakers who want to defund education further! Truly making America great

        Money doesn’t win elections, people do.

        This assumes that elections aren’t tampered with, which is factually false in the US now.

      DINO’s and Republicans will. Liberals will go out and vote. Real Americans are getting armed and documenting the locations, and habits of traitors and their spouses/children. MAGAT’s better have Christmas early this year, otherwise they may not have another

        The DNC has been captured by neoliberals and AIPAC money. It will fight Mamdami because their masters will tell them to fight Mamdami.

        OP means “liberal” derogatorily, as in “American center-left” (which is, globally, pretty far to the right) and, critically, to the right of leftists. Historically, liberals side with Republicans more often than not in all but the most paltry things. MAGA has pulled the Overton Window even further to the right, making that alliance more tenuous recently, but there are still a lot of liberals in Congress right now trying to have brunch instead of tearing down everything they can to stop Trump.
