The people are reshaping the democrat party. It’s slow, it’s in it’s infancy, but it is starting to happen. The bungie-cable on the Overton Window finally snapped and yanked the thing out of the garbage dump at the end of the scale, and people are dragging it back to a visible place and the establishment Dems are not happy about it. Because it means power structure and status-quo are no longer adequate and they are going to be out of the game.
This is why dems and Trump alike have unified to try to sabotage and invalidate Mamdani’s win, because a socialist becoming so popular sets a mandate. It flies in the face of narratives against socialism and true progressive populism. It sets a tone against big corporate money in politics, and it shows that grassroots community action can topple empires. A lot of polling institutions and old-guard half-baked pundits are slinking into the shadows right now after losing their ratings for predicting that New York and the country broadly were not going to elect anyone but Trump-loyal, authoritarian strongmen.
If you want any more proof of how Sir Mamdani and his band of knights have made the old Houses bend the knee, go watch Morning Joe and listen to Joe Fucking Scarborough praising Mamdani and socialism broadly. (Albiet tepidly, it’s still something I never thought I would see.)
they already succesfully colluded against BERNIE twice, and AOC to a lesser extent. the only reason they had AOc, is much like how the gop using mtg, and boebart as a lightning rod.

Democratic party.
Not to be that guy, but this one bothers me since “Democrat party” is purposely used by the right as a pejorative.
