isnt it crazy that mamdani is quite literally the most popular democrat, maybe politician in the country (by poll results), and yet the democratic establishment is fighting so desperately hard to fight him and others like him? thats so wild man.

Your first point just isn’t true from my understanding.

Mamdami is mayor of the most progressive city in America, I don’t think the democrats should model themselves after him. Even Mamdami understands that progressives can’t win in swing states

cnn poll of net national favorability ratings show him as above everyone else they polled, aoc, trump, whoever. maybe you could find a local person who is more liked locally, but a national figure who has lots of attention? idk

well theres a bunch of primaries and then generals where progressives are looking pretty likely. i only brought up this poll because it was a national poll. not of nyc. mamdani being that popular nationally is wicked man. the rhetoric that progressivism and genuine change platforms cant win has been ongoing since like the second obama term, and its lost so many elections that were winnable. gotta appeal to the middle with my radical centrism, this time its gonna work, 99th time is the charm.

First it’s just a single poll, there are others out there, and secondly it only polled on like AOC, Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. It was pretty clear no one knew who Hakeem Jeffries was or was just completely indifferent to him, basically everyone hated Schumer, AOC is still weighed down by being thought of as a this uber-woke Communist. Zohran still had a -5 favorability rating. YouGov averages show voters find him slightly less favorable than Mark Kelley. Other polls show …(1/2)

show that dems like Talarico and Ossoff are popular nationally in swing and even light red states. Hell, Sherrod Brown might take Ohio while AES polls behind Mike Rogers. (2/2)
