Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

#Mamdani definitely sounds and looks much better than #DumpTrump ever will, he´s a friendly and empathic person. I hope he´ll win the #NYCMayorElections in autumn. ❤️❤️❤️

Giving the people value for their tax $$ isnt communist. Trump had no issues giving Meta $19 billipn of socialism. A muslim man gave the American people healthcare. A white Republican old man who us a billionaire took it away. To give himself a tax cut.

Not just the president but every loud member of the democratic party too. "vote blue no matter who....unless it's that brown muslim guy who doesn't like israel and doesn't like captalism"

What?? We already have socialistic programs in the US. He’s exactly what we need in the future, someone who wants to try new things that directly help ALL people. I would call it Democratic Socialism all day, every day!! (Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, SSD, etc)

Democrats are still wringing their hands over 2024 and opining about how the party must change. Mamdani has given them a blueprint. My prediction is that it will be ignored and we’ll keep losing. 🫤

That whole situation was a gigantic clusterf*ck and there’s plenty of blame to go around. But none of them are willing to take it; just alot of wasting time finger-pointing.

Trump is best buddies with the communist Putin, NBC news is here to ask if you are a communist because trump says you are. Our media is 3rd grade level at a minimum.

But he was quoting MLK whose message was heavily "God's children," etc. I'm atheist, I get it, I recoil at being dragged into religion in politics, but knowing where King stood puts it into context.

@ericzanconato.bsky.social

Exactly! Mamdani is Trump’s only prospect for a distraction from his (Trump’s) many failed policies, and he’s barely six months into his first year, and everything is crumbling down. Trump is rattled that Mamdani is conveying a message that resonates with the same constituents that Trump failed.

Refreshing to have someone actually address the issues working Americans face daily republicans are fighting tooth and nail to give the wealthy more tax breaks by denying the poorest access to medicaid/ healthcare and food assistance programs, along with raising their taxes FK gop and dtrumpf

A progressive politician beat a damaged politician whose campaign was little more than collecting endorsements. The message 2the "old guard" is that in an impulse driven, emotionally charged political landscape, u have 2actually show emotion. If you can only feign anger, fear, etc.. step aside.

Of course Trump is going to criticize his looks and voice. He’s young, good looking and fit. He has an oratory ability similar to Obama’s. He’s everything Trump is not, never was and never will be.

I’m a Dem 💙💙💙 a middle of the road , realistic, common sense , . Mándani makes a great deal of logic We have a democratic socialism already. Schools police EMT libraries. I should not need to go on. He is also so right about the distribution of wealth.

Hari Sheldon
@harisheldonus.bsky.social

Americans need to up their general education learning the meaning of words, not big words, just the common stuff like capitalism, socialism, communisms, fascism, etc. POTUS calling Mamdani a communist was obviously absurd.

@zgslug.bsky.social

Mamdani with all the talking points dems need to win and make change. No wonder democratic leadership is slandering them. As these dems show with how hard they have worked support MAGA legislation, they prove to us all that change is the LAST thing they want, and they will go MAGA to prevent it

@flypusher713.bsky.social

I don’t blame Trump voters for being dissatisfied with the status quo, and wanting change. I absolutely do blame them for thinking that Trump, of all people, actually cared about the working class and would actually address kitchen table issues.

1/30 The fallacy of "Problem-Reaction-Solution" or "Manufactured Problem", is closely related to a type of false cause or circular reasoning. In rhetoric and propaganda analysis, it’s also known as "Hegelian Dialectic misuse" in conspiratorial contexts,

I don't like Kristen Welker. Ive been watching Meet the Press since I was 8 years old. (My dad watched it & I watched it with him) Im 80 now. I think she's been a total wimp with trump & his cult. It almost feels as if she's being paid to slant everything his way or ignore what she can't defend.

I sincerely worry for this man's safety, but he seems smart enough to realize it. Good god, he is so awesome. Let this be the start of a movement that thrives, grows, and takes over the Democratic party and our country. God willing.

The rich have been using words like communism and socialism to scare regular Americans into staying in their place, but obviously that only benefits them. People need to wake up. THE RICH ARE NOT LOOKING OUT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF REGULAR AMERICANS.

Of course he will talk about you. You have a full head of hair. You can talk in complete sentences. Your clothes fit, not hiding anything in the pant leg. You make him look like a broken down, vindictive, dementia addled, piss poor excuse for a man. The very best of luck to you Sir.

@theeelady.bsky.social

Some of you in this thread need to stop focusing and blaming Dems.. Blame the people who voted for them and the Republicans!! You keep repeating stupid shit about Dems… Dems aren’t the issue republicans are the issue and the voters that put them in office.

@theeelady.bsky.social

What is their failing strategy you speak of? Nominating a Black Qualified Woman that offered relief & equality for all & told you all exactly what would happen if the Orange Slob got re-elected! Some of you need to sit with yourselves & ask who is to really blame & go from there.

@isauragard.bsky.social

You can be as black and as qualified as you want, but if you promise to be exactly the same as a historically unpopular president whose internal polls showed him losing to Donald Trump by unheard of margins, you can't claim to be surprised by the result.

@bluedotinmi.bsky.social

Betrayal is the message. Bait and switch. Economic lies. The effects are coming. This isn’t radical. The left didn’t break the entire system. Project 2025 did. Let’s build positive momentum from the dust. All. Fucking. Aboard. For democracy that delivers.

Oralè Resisters Mamdani won on the issue all Americans are suffering from High Food and Rents, ICE kidnapping our communities, Universal Healthcare and Trump war on Blue Cities! In South Central LA ghetto, 3 bedrooms houses rent $4500. While the establishment is supported Sex harassment candidates.

@medwoman83.bsky.social

It is not "old guard" vs "new". Bernie Sanders is much, much older than JD Vance. Until we start putting the ideas espoused ahead of chronology we will be stuck with just another "ism". This time ageism. Can we not discuss ideas and effectiveness over any immutable attribute such as age/sex/color.

Donell
@donelll.bsky.social

Yeah but Mamdani isn't the typical Democrat. Democratic socialists in positions of power are hard to come by. That's why the Democratic establishment also hates him. He's a breath of fresh air.

@rowlandville.bsky.social

THIS is the future of the Democratic Party! The sooner the party's current leadership catches a clue that they're the past and not the future (nor even the present) the better off the party and the country will be.

@papoo2u.bsky.social

He was very good in the debate. Remember how Harris cleaned Trump's clock and he refused to debate her again. There really wasn't much of an outcry. The whole debate system needs to be restructured. All that nonsense that Trump was spewing should have been humiliating! He got away with lying.

Jo
@ogjojo.bsky.social

I'm really disappointed by the negative responses from democrats to Mamdani's election success. I expected as much from the right but when are dems going to realize they need to welcome the fresh energy & bold, original ideas of new talent. The party sorely needs an infusion of progressive thinking.

og-gma.bsky.social
@og-gma.bsky.social

That’s not why they’re pissed off. They’ve been told by their donors and Congress to go against him. Most of Congress, on both sides, couldn’t care less about their constituents. It’s about whatever super PAC is paying them and right now that’s AIPAC. Most of Congress are paid to vote against us.

It’s shameful how this host spends !time asking stupid questions based on what Orange Felon says! So many journalists are doing this and it is so frustrating that they are not speaking truth to power!! We need journalist investigating Sergio Gor, the Epstein Files, etc and putting it all on blast!!!

Well said. Just add how much money the president has gotten and will still get from billionaires, and he has not represented the people only billionaires' interest.

SantaCruzMag
@santacruzmag.bsky.social

What Mamdani shouldn't have to get used to is fellow Democrats doing the same thing as Trump. Get it together my fellow Dems. You're letting Republicans once again decide what will be the focus of this MAYORAL election and it's BULLSHIT!

Berserker Piglet
@berserkerpiglet.bsky.social

I suspect there’s a range between only one person talking because they have too much ego and everyone talking over each other because they have too much ego. Democracy is about hearing what people want and amplifying the messages that resonate. That is what is meant by speaking with one voice.

markrpi.bsky.social
@markrpi.bsky.social

This is about values. The Democratic Party needs to embrace some values and be unified in pursuing them, versus cos playing the opposition when out of power, or when in power, doing very solid work and failing to have united messaging. They are too busy trying to appease their rich donors
