- Rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.comtoProgressive Politics@lemmy.world•Why establishment Democrats still can’t stomach progressive candidates like Zohran Mamdani1·2 天前
Yes, he usually runs as a democrat and then once he wins, switches to independent, which makes sense to, I guess, abide by DNC rules and such. Won in 2024 senate race running as a dem. Currently, he is listed on Ballot Pedia as an independent, so once again, he switched it.
Would this be the MAGA come to Jesus moment we have all been waiting for?

Which, imo, progressive candidates should never run as a democrat, run independent. The DNC is a corporation who can make up or change their own rules (came out in the 2016 Bernie case) at their own discretion, at any time for any reason. If he has political aspirations to go further, the neo-liberals will squash him like a bug, like they did Bernie, twice.

And they will, the neo-liberal party will fall in line for that war cash cow. Get a foreign country out of our politics!

I think this fixes itself if you first concentrate on winning back the working class. You can’t win without them, so winning over young men is mute. The democrats lost them in the last election because, well, they did nothing for them, didn’t even address their concerns, used platitudes “we are for democracy, and good things” instead of actual policies that would help them. A lot of complacency with young men, not voting, goes hand in hand with the policies that effect the working people; well paid salary, affordable healthcare, able to buy home, able to pay rent, buy cheaper food, etc. Until they see a clear plan, the effort is fruitless.
You are asking the wrong dude here. I failed at corporate speech, never understood their art of assimilation. It is all about not offending anyone, overstepping, never throwing anyone under the bus, especially higher management, and yet dodging bullets coming your way. It is also the biggest waste of time, usually. Got to give the upper management, the glorified babysitters, something to do.
The food stains on his shirt. I died. I wonder how Maga is taking the ‘no more wars’ from their false king?

And I understand your point, but you are generalizing also. I think it would be better to say SOME American’s are like what you describe, and I would say, because it is usually a class thing within American society. Lower, middle, even some upper classes don’t get to travel, or don’t want to (or go on horrible isolated cruise ships,) outside the US and aren’t exposed to the world they grew up in. Also, our education system, thanks to the rich again, has been destroyed. But, that doesn’t apply to everyone, and when you generalize, it is offensive to many. There is an American pride that is built in to our upbringing, as in most places, but what might be unique here is the rich/corporate/gov’t exploit that patriotism and use it as propaganda so it is easier to manufacture the selling of war.

Actually, most yanks don’t feel this way. Big business, CIA/FBI, Gov’t wants resources, weapon sales, drug and human trafficking, all things to keep the rich …rich. They use the two party system, which is really a uni-party system controlled by them, to keep the masses fighting amongst themselves while they proceed with war and taking away human rights under war-times.
Zoom in and you can see the billions of dollars and nukes left on the nightstand for payment to Bibi. I hope it was worth it.
I thought Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bungholes bill is trying to seize up land for the gov’t across the US and that includes Utah? Fed calls dibs!
