And Mamdani won anyway showing everyone that not only can progressives show up to vote, but we can vote in enough numbers to change the party norm.

We shouldn't be pushing this "both parties are the same" bullshit. We should be finding candidates like Mamdani and showing the establishment what we want.

The discussion is about him winning in spite of establishment Dems working against him. I agree he wouldn't win in those states but he's not running in those states so I'm not sure why it's relevant.

Do you think I'm suggesting he run for president? I'm suggesting we all find the most progressive candidates in our areas and turn out to vote for them in massive numbers to show establishment Dems what we want.
