Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) launched an unhinged attack on NY Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani using footage of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
The reason they’re so scared is the current DNC chair legitimately wants someone like Mamdani for the next presidential candidate.
If Mamdani wins, that’s enough time for voters nationwide to see socialism works before midterms and for that to domino to the presidential election.
I’ve been more optimistic about the party in the last 10 months than even 08 in the run up to Obama. The billionaires are fucking scared, and it’s gonna make the neoliberals retire like Pelosi or run to Maga like Cuomo.
Edit:
Read/watch the full interview, but this was from almost 6 months ago:
Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there’s a lot of lessons.
One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can’t just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There’s no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we’re for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.
And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.
I think that’s one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they’re at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.
There’s a lot to learn from that campaign, and I’m excited to learn more.

Delusional. Ken Martin wants nothing to do with Mamdani. Neither do the party’s highest ranking Senator and House Reps (ffs, Jeffries is IN NYC and won’t endorse the obvious front-runner). Hochul has him at a distance, while eyeing his allies in the DSA stacked state legislature nervously for fear of a primary challenge.
And the irony of all this NYC leftism popping off now is that Cuomo made it possible when he gerrymandered his own party out of a majority.
Hochul has been at campaign events with Mamdani within just the past several days, it doesn’t really look like she is distancing herself from him when you can find them literally on a stage together. I do agree about Jeffries, I think he is trying to be strategic because of his role in the House, but he sucks too much to pull it off so instead he just looks like an ass. If he was a better politician he could have threaded the needle. In some ways his non-endorsement may have ultimately benefited Mamdani, Democratic leadership is very unpopular right now and having obvious disagreement within the party over Mamdani validates his outsider image.

Not to mention he’s been supporting Omar Fateh for over a year:

Please, dont fall for the billionaire propaganda, they’re desperate for people to check out of politics, we need to pay attention now more than ever.
Voter apathy is the only way the oligarchs can claw back the party, and they’ll do anything to manifest that.
Including social media accounts that routinely deny reality and insist the only thing we can do is hand the party back to the oligarchs.
Don’t trust anyone who acts like voting in the Dem.primary obligates a general vote.
Even if you have no intention of voting D, vote in the Dem primary and pull the party as left as you can.
There’s literally no valid reason not to.

I mean, it’s really simple, if they hate socialism so much, all they have to do is make life a little better for regular folks.
That’s the thing though, it’s either rich get richer for them or it’s hell.
No he does not.
Stop spreading such lies about “ I want to continue taking bribes from good billionaires ” and pretending he wants anything but maintaining the status quo.
Goddamn we’re being so fucking stupid obsessing over an arbitrary number. I guess it you you have 999,999 dollars, you’re just fine.
I love how Soros is never mentioned in this mindless bullshit.
No one is stressing over a billion or million, they’re stressing over the rich elites bribing/owning the party.
If Americans could tell the difference between a million and a billion you’d all be really upset.
Fucking morons hear “billionaires” and think it means “Steve from church who has a boat and a vacation home in Montana.”
