Didn't the democratic party in America like completely die with president Orange?
Nah. We’re taking it over. Thirty years of retirees picking our candidates in the primaries gave us the centrist party. People are finally waking up and turning out.
Yes, the current cohort. With Mondoni, AOC and Bernie, The hope is more people will vote for progressive candidates and bring back the Democrats from the dead.
I've seen a lot of people insist that we were going to stop doing democracy going forward.
I was skeptical, precisely because the Mamdani race appeared to illustrate how an unpopular incumbent friend-of-Trump could absolutely still lose to a socialist outsider campaign by a local town populist hero. But now I'm seeing the Dem national establishment freak out in such a way that... Idk, maybe they really will try to toss the results of the primary in the trash and tell Zohran he's not welcome in the general.
id argue that if they failed so badly, they were dead already.
