This is really smart
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

To sharpen the point: no one was a more dogged supporter of the prevailing Dem nominee on the campaign trail than Bernie Sanders
This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

Something undiscussed in the fracas is the fact that a lot of Mamdani's most striking creative collaborators (who help craft his striking visual style and inspiring words) are both Jewish
Everyone should (rightly) laud this speech and the courage to give it but I hope people don't forget this isn't *just* Zohran Mamdani, it's also his writer, Julian Gerson, and Mamdani's creative director, Andrew B. Epstein.
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

It's a simple point, but this is not how a democracy is supposed to function. The President represents the public and distributes goods and benefits through a system in which all members of the public have equal access. Power is not to be hoarded or distributed to one's friends.

MAGA's attempt to use the "insurrection clause" against Mamdani is absurd, but it's also a very deliberate statement of right-wing impunity, given that Trump actually did spark an insurrection but the Supreme Court ruled that he was not constitutionally ineligible to hold public office.

The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

This seems wrong on basic, linguistic grounds.
Mam-da-ni has three distinct syllables, with simple vowel-consonant pairings. Each vowel is in its long form, which makes it especially easy to pronounce.

In Opinion
Early in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, “it was easy to assume that failure to learn his name reflected a failure to take him seriously,” John McWhorter writes. But “as a matter of pure linguistics, it would be surprising if people didn’t have trouble with the name Mamdani.”

Those in the know will appreciate why it's less surprising that Satmar would tack toward the local Democratic party (which has endorsed Zohran) than the national (which has not)
BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews.
In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.
