The post is about SOCIALIST candidates running and how republican voters would support them. The issue I’m pointing out is democrats have no faith in them, so they don’t let socialist candidates run. That is exactly what happened with Bernie sanders when we was going to make a run.
I’ll dumb it down as much as I can: democrats think blue states are more accepting of socialist policies when they experience them. Socialist runs and wins. In red states, democrats don’t think a socialist would be a good idea, so they don’t run a socialist candidate. Then they fucking lose because of their mid takes. If you want to see what a socialist could do if they were to run in a red state, TELL THE DEMOCRATS TO HAVE FAITH IN THEIR FUCKING CANDIDATES
My point being: the candidates the democrats are constantly running and losing all the godsamn always suck ass because the Democratic Party does not have any convincing policies outside of “we hate trump” we all hate trump. Mamdani didn’t run on an anti republican run he ran on a pro socialist run and he won because of that. Again, HE WON BY PRIORITIZING HIS POLICY ADVERTISEMENT OVER BEING ANTI REPUBLICAN
Democrats haven’t been that popular because they’re only take is “trump bad” WE KNOW tell us something you will do better. Kamal did have some okay policies, but most of her run was “we hate trump” and the Republican Party is a personality club. Say something about trump and they will immediately dislike you. Instead just tell them ,without saying the obvious you hate trump line, what you are going to do to make their lives better. Mamdani did exactly that and it’s a major reason he won in spite
Kamala should have just ran for the mayor of New York she would never have to talk about republicans so true. Republicans can attack democrats with impunity and Kamala gives a reasonable amount of push back yet we’re finger wagging her. Meanwhile Trump and the Republican media are talking about how she fucked her way into political power and she’s “mentally impaired”.
Even Mamdani will talk about how different democrats are good for different races in different regions. He’s 100% correct I just think it’s ironic how far left people on here are so anti “left bashing” yet they left bash more than anyone else. To a point we’re seriously being critical of Kamala for being critical of Trump.
Because being critical of trump is a given. Being anti trump is not enough to be a good candidate. You have to have policies to support people. Otherwise, political parties are just a sports team. Wanting the democrats to be effective is not left-bashing. Also yes it’s a big deal that Mamdani won becusss of how many fucking republican politicians made a big deal about it. Not just trump or sliwa
It’s not a given Trump won the popular vote is normalized in society at this point. I don’t think most people could even articulate what’s wrong with Trump (beyond mean tweets) especially pre 2024. She did have policies idk why we’re pretending she didn’t. You don’t want them to be more effective you want to virtue signal and finger wag that she was a little critical of Trump. Why do you think they made a big deal about it??
It wasn’t bc Mamdani is an electoral threat everyone knew a democrat was going to win New York. They very obviously just wanted to rally their base bc a Muslim was winning New York and it was something their base could be upset about. Thats why Trump is pretty amicable towards him now. Meanwhile Trump is talking prosecuting Kamala and he prosecuted other political opponents.
