You think this is big?

Wait till you see what they put behind Newsom/Pritzker if neither of them win the next Dem presidential primary...

They're 100% going to pull a Cuomo if a progressive wins. I expect they'll even get Kamala to run in the primary, just as a sacrificial lamb so Newsom/Pritzker won't be the the least progressive on stage.

Really the reason they're so scared of Mamdani, is there's enough time to show it works before the presidential primary. And the current DNC chair is a huge fan of Mamdani:

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.

Billionaires are shitting themselves, they'll just never let the media they own report on it.

I think the larger Democratic party is terrified of the idea that it's possible to win a national election without being backed by a single billionaire.
