Wish the DNC would take notes. Since, you know, the future of the republic is at stake.

Chuck and Hakeem's AIPAC checks are much more important than "the future of the republic". Their cocktail party budget has exploded over the last 2 years!

You guys just need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and get a well paying gig as controlled opposition.

They are, it's in their notebook for things to fight against.

I remember some saying that the Democrats only exist to foil progressive candidates.
It really does seem like I’ve heard more shots taken at Mamdani than Trump…

I'm not convinced the party even exists anymore.

Almost double his closest rival.

Damn those numbers on Adams are abysmal even for a dropout. He should consider moving somewhere else after his term ends. Maybe he can room with Giuliani in exile for NYC mayors who are despised by their own city.

The debate last night was a fucking slam dunk for him and New Yorkers….if they elect him and I hope they do.

I suspect Cuomo is going to get 3rd place. Curtis Sliwa is at least a kind of funny, classic New Yawk guy. Cuomo just sucks.
Schmoo@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 305d
Would be very funny, but New York is a Democratic stronghold. It's very unlikely that Sliwa will gain much if any support he doesn't already have.

Please ffs stay safe dude. I'm so fucking worried about him.

I am really concerned Trump is going to do a mafia style hit on him

Good for Mamdani.

Yes, but only because the ranked choice voting in the Democratic primary likely gave some voters/organizers/donaters confidence to back a longshot candidate like Mamdani, which eventually snowballed into a plurality win in the first round of the primary, a majority win after ranked choice took effect, and a polling lead in the first past the post general election. Still a success story, I'd say, but not a direct and unquestionable cause/effect chain

The general election isn't ranked choice.

Fox news🙄

Interestingly enough, their polling has been accurate. Credibility in other areas.. not so much.

They have a news side and an entertainment side to their business. The primetime Nazi shows are all on the entertainment side so when they get sued they just say "we're not news, we're entertainment we don't need to adhere to reality! It's actually your fault for believing us!" Their polling comes from the other side.

I still look back fondly of the time Obama beat Romney and the Fox News entertainers (Karl Rove and Megan Kelly) just couldn't believe it, so they marched down to the polling office to demand answers
Crashumbc@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 306d
ROFL their "News" side (even local) is just as bad, just more coy about it. In this case, they gain nothing from fudging the numbers.
In fact, it is a way to attack the old guard Democrats who hate the young brown guy.

Fox News as live news is thrash, but Fox News' online page is surprisingly good. But it has been years since I went to their website.

Easier to design propaganda when you understand what the people you want to propagandize think

More of this.
