Frankly, he may win because of them. It's like a crazy political Streisand-effect thing they are doing with him I swear to god. I wouldn't know who he is if not for how the corporatist Dems have treated him, and I suspect it helped his primary win, too.

I bet this guy will be known to history as the founder of the new left political party

Dems are great at self sabotage, even if they have to skip primaries to do it.

They're fighting Trump though! I've peeked a couple of times at the Democrat subreddit and it's always "some democrat saying some MEAN one-liner towards Trump during some hearing! #resist".

50 more of those one-liners and Trump will feel soooo bad and quit being a president, which will fix literally everything (great man theory)!

I'm not going to get excited until Mamdani wins and actually does what he promises. Speeches and vocal support aren't worth anything anymore.

Still, solid meme that makes a good point.

Most of the DNC don't disagree with what the tangerine mussolini is doing. They just hate that it's not them doing it.

Their problem is not what he's doing, it's how he's doing it: He's too obvious, which increases the risk of a popular ~~backslash~~ backlash against the billionaires who fund both parties.

It's style, not substance.

Democrats facing Trump: "We tried nothing and we're all out of options"

It's the party of status quo. Appeasement while they court the progressives and disallow the progressives to run for office

Somehow I understand their reaction... the democrates are afraid that this guy shows the worlds what powergreedy hippocrites they are and how similar they are to the republicans.

They became the very thing they swore to destroy...
