We’re too obsessed with the cult of personality in this country. It’s very difficult to get anyone to turn on a candidate, once voters decided they like the person. People don’t like admitting they were wrong, so a candidate really has to do something extreme to lose support they’ve gained, and make anyone re-evaluate.
Mamdani’s team knows this. Which is why he’s racing to compromise everything, hoping to add moderates to his base.
I’m glad to see the rapid speed at which more people are realizing Mamdani is a sellout though. It used to take months for people to accept that Kamala was an establishment sellout. A few Zionist Tweets from Mamdani and they know that he is a lost cause now.
Unfortunately for Mamdani, leftists are typically well-informed. But they made Mamdani support fashionable, and there’s no candidate further left than him, so I think they’re counting on him hanging onto enough of the original base.
It’s a stupid move though, that’s cost many Democrats their election. And even if he wins, his policies will naturally have to be more centrist, because now he won’t have the energized base to support leftist governance.
