    To an extent, sure, but surprisingly a lot of the DNC have backed him up. Give them credit where it’s due, which isn’t often so it doesn’t take much effort. If you give them shit for stuff they aren’t doing then they have no reason to not do the bad stuff, because it has the same result.

        Yes

        Manhattan Democrats — the borough’s official Democratic organization, overseeing 30 local Democratic clubs — voted overwhelmingly to support Mamdani after he appeared at their meeting Monday evening. They are the third county Democratic group to endorse Mamdani, after the Brooklyn Democratic Party, which had previously endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the primary, and the Staten Island Democratic Party.

        First I want to point out you aren’t asking for proof against it, but fine.

        I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for, because Mamdani said didn’t condemn people who said “globalize the antifada,” but here’s the DNC chair not speaking against that at least. He’s said basically that Democrats need to support him no matter what before, but this is the big thing right now that’s making it hard to search for.

        I’m much further left than the DNC (social anarchist), but “the party” is mostly doing the right thing here. That’s not to say the donors are though. I think most of the monied people are with Cuomo.

          He never said “globalize the intifada”. You’re parroting Zionist propaganda.

          He simply declined to condemn the phrase. There’s a huge difference. Get it straight and cut it out with your lies.

            Ah, I didn’t even read it because I didn’t really care if he did or didn’t, and it wasn’t what I was looking for. I think it’s perfectly fine to say.

            So this is actually about the DNC not condemning Mamdani not condemning other people saying that. That’s too stupid.

          I don’t get why people are making a big deal out of the intifada thing. Who gives a shit that he said it? These idiots wouldn’t have any problem if he said “we need to bring everyone around the world together to rise against oppression”

            He didn’t say it. That’s the flex his opponents are trying to make.

            You know how Republicans are trying to flex on their cult by asserting the Epstein files don’t actually exist? Same tactic.
