Plenty of New Yorkers who voted for Zohran Mamdani in last month’s City Hall election previously backed Donald Trump at the ballot box, despite their obvious political differences, new data reveals

    So basically Bernie could have won if the DNC didn’t sabotage it and those voters went Trump.

      God that was the most frustrating and infuriating campaigns to witness in real-time, falling apart.

      Here we finally had a man, that was for the people, in what feels like several generations. And the DNC was actively trying to ruin his momentum, because they wanted Clinton so bad.

      And a large number of people were brainwashed into demonizing everything Bernie was proposing. Like when they thought he was going to give everybody free internet, when what he really meant was giving us more opportunity of a free market of internet.

      Then annoying activists from BLM were stealing podiums from him just to scream about a cause they were dismantling themselves because at that point they were becoming unhinged over everything.

      It was just nauseating to have witnessed in everything that happened in 2016 that time. So of course he lost, of course Clinton got the nod and of course that bitch lost. Probably the only time I felt that the American people deserved Trump for all of that.

        Same familiar rhetoric: “It’s literally Socialism!!!”

          One of the big (and actually valid) concerns about socialism is “the government giveth, the government taketh away”.

          Socialism is a great goal but I think this year kinda taught us that we are much further away from realizing that goal than we thought we are, if a dude like trump can come in with the trifecta and rip it all to shreds overnight, like a bully to a 5th grade diorama.

        Did you expect… to see him win first and THEN for the DNC to sabotage him? Would that be the only way for to to accept that it happened, and anything else is just “he lost”?
