Governor Kotek is speaking out. Voters have a duty to find out what their leaders are doing & saying.

Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) & was actively involved in “Uncomitted” which amplified disinformation & portrayed Kamala Harris as supporting Israeli genocide which many “progressives” still use to justify not voting for her.

Here is part of the Nov 2024 DSA election statement:

Fun fact: Mamdani was elected by higher-income voters in Brooklyn & Queens. Lower-income voters & poc voted for Cuomo.

Mamdani was elected by the gentrifiers.

Fact check: Mamdani was elected by higher-income voters: “the laptop class.”

Lower-income voters & poc voted for Cuomo. Progressive Dems voted for Lander.

The Dem “establishment” have been defending Mamdani against racist attacks more generously than DSA candidates have ever defended Dems.

Mamdani & Lander co-endorsed bc of rank-choice voting.

As a DSA, Mamdani has been attacking “establishment” Dems (see below for the DSA statement re: the 2024 election).

He won w/ higher-income voters. Lower-income voters & poc voted for Cuomo. (I voted for Lander.)

He has work to do.

Working class people voted for Cuomo. As did poc.

Mamdani was elected by higher-income voters.

Bernie Sanders knows nothing about the working class. He’s a hypocrite who takes private jets to his anti-oligarch rallies.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

Helpful hint: Stop attacking Democrats in Congress & the Senate. You are not “holding them accountable, you are helping Trump & Republicans.

We were both wrong. Dems didn’t have the votes to impeach so they voted to table the bill.

Trump troll. Reported and blocked.

“Left-wing” hypocricy meme:

AOC’s “Tax the Rich” thousand-dollar dress that she wore to an event (Met Gala) where a single ticket can cost more than some “workers” earn in a year.

Perfect for ppl who attend the anti-oligarchy rallies of a senator who voted against sanctions for Russian oligarchs.
