TBH I don't give a shit about the democratic infighting here about Mamdani

Our Democracy is on fire with a mad dictator at the helm.

Let’s get a fucking grip, please.

That’s a local race for now that might mean something more in the future or may amount to nothing.

Meanwhile there’s 10 outrageous things this administration and the Republicans are doing to the whole country every day.

but majority in NYC don't care for Adams and the so called fake Christians backing him up.

Freedom of religion is important to our Democracy.

why is the national democratic leadership weighing in? Do you think the money will just come from NYC. This is bigger than that.

The majority of those bitching and moaning DON'T EVEN FUCKING LIVE IN NYC!!!!! Who NYC Dems pick as their mayoral nominee has negligible to zero impact on the national Democratic Party.

The Republic is burning to the fucking ground and they're worried about the NYC mayor's race!!! WTF?!!!

This will define us. We could gain or lose young people. Millions of immigrants could be more at risk. Businesses and Institutions that impact the whole country will be affected. History will be made, one way or the other.

Whether NYC is in a position to fight under Mamdani or capitulates to Trump under Adams matters.
Whether Cuomo uses this as a comeback to run for president matters.

Do we care how our national Democratic leaders behave, and do you think that only impacts NYC?

If NYC doesn't matter to those of us who don't live there, then why am I sweating what is happening in LA? Why do I care about the immigrants there and the forest fires that are being affected by National Guard being diverted? Why do I even listen to the news?

How do we ignore this?

If Democratic leaders can't support a duly elected candidate because he's a Muslim or too Progressive for the establishment, we have a problem.
Cuomo would use the mayorship to launch a presidential campaign.
Adams will do whatever Trump tells him to.

This election will impact the country and the party.
What happens matters.

This is what we need.

I heard Nicole tell Stephen Colbert Democrats are just one Leader away from restoring the party, but here you have the constant liars and back biters, who are afraid of new blood.
I have been saying this for a couple of months now but Democrats keep dragging out the past. That is gone, we now need to move ahead but every conversation goes back into an old grievance from the past.

And she is once again lying like a dog about ,the new Governor. He is actually going out to the various groups, listening to them while she screeches.

This has been playing out all day on MSNBC. democrats need to quit lecturing, shut up and listen to how the young feel. Otherwise there will be no Democratic Party.
Kirsten hounded Al out of office because of a few jokes. I do not want to hear anything she says.

And her actions since taking Hillary’s place. She destroyed Franken over a joke and now is attacking Mamdani with lies the same way she did Al..
Mamdan is going out to the different groups listening and trying to bring groups together such as blacks and Jewish.
MSNBC HASD ALMOST EVERY PROGRAM on on this subject Monday.
They welcomed Donny Deutch and Al Sharpton to discuss not falling into that hole where Blacks and Jewish stop fighting each other. Democrats have to quit the endless lecturing and start listening to what the people want, especially the young .

Who voted for him.. most of the cable links are Facebook.

We can have an intelligent conversation about the issues without outside input.

They are just trying to blow things up to provide cover for themselves and their outrageous anti-democratic policies, anyway.
