Obama wasn't even "neoliberal" enough to commit to an FTA binding most of the Pacific against our solitary peer competitor that Clinton would have signed without thinking twice about

Hey, in their defense

I genuinely don't know what "actual liberation" is supposed to mean or why it would be permanent.

The three branches of the Democratic Party going forward:
Warren Liberalism. Mamdani Socialism. Pritzker Tengriism.
this is adorable.
Warren going all in on backing Mamdani is great, and I think really meaningful given the...ambivalence of the D establishment. 1

Obama was a spineless weasel who had no limits to the number of people he was content to see die if he could meet other objectives in so doing. Yemen, Syria, and Ukraine are the big examples.
Remember how in 2009 after Russia’s invasion of Georgia the US decided to press the “reset” button hoping it would motivate them to not invade anyone anymore

I feel like there’s two “25 years ago”s and one of them is the year 2000 where we had like computers and the internet and email and shit and the other one “25 years ago” is a mixture of 1978 and somewhere around 1800

Every moment wasted on not closing the gap between Mandani and the New York leadership is another moment of trust fraying between them and everyone else and at this point that's more destructive to party cohesion than any policy differences between the factions

It's been said a few times that this withholding is just a cinematic media strategy to let party leadership come out and say "we've checked him out, hashed out our differences, all is good, go vote Mamdani"
This is both a) likely and b) still incredibly fucking stupid
you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools

the left very clearly views support for mamdani as a litmus test - does party loyalty run both ways?
