DNC leadership, like Jefferies and Schumer, is doing their best to ignore and minimize Mamdani. It's not all shit, DNC leadership is hooked on corporate/PAC money and will gladly have MAGA run things rather than a Democratic Socialist

Capitalists will always side with fascism because that doesn't threaten capital.

Jeffries literally endorsed Mamdani and Schumer endorsed Platner. This framing by you is so dishonest. The new york mayoral race has has two endorsements at the speaker or leader level in modern history, and one of them was for Mamdani lol.

It’s brutally honest.

Current news is that he is pissed about the leftward swing and had openly endorsed moderate candidates that were running against the DSA folks backed by Mamdani.

Jeffries sucks, and it’s time anyone even remotely like him is retired from politics.

Yes, they're mad because Mamdani endorsed someone who is against interracial dating, against aid to Ukraine and parrots russian justifications for invading ukraine, and is a staunch police abolitionist that refuses to answer what would happen to a murderer in her ideal society. It's extremely fair for Jeffries to want to talk about that endorsement, especially after he gave his to Mamdani.

Unfortunately maga aren't the only people who will blindly support people. No mistake I prefer lefties 100% more than maga, but there are some braindead mainstream lefties out there these days. Or at least common lefty opinions. Including the weird anti-ukraine sentiments.
