Mamdani got far more endorsements including from so-called "centrists" like Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, and Kathy Hochul.

The "Purity Test" Lie [View all] Emile Mar 31 OP

Something tells me you didn't watch the video. AloeVera Mar 31 #5

DURec leftstreet Mar 31 #2

Yes. It might be a mind-bender for some people. AloeVera Mar 31 #6

No, they did not end up voting Kamala Harris JI7 Mar 31 #3

Who is they? Emile Mar 31 #4

So he hates Democrats. He repeats the tired "just the same as Republicans" bollocks. muriel_volestrangler Mar 31 #7

He refers specifically to the centrists n/t leftstreet Mar 31 #8

No, it's often just about "the Democrats". He does not have a single good thing to say muriel_volestrangler Mar 31 #11

He certainly doesn't pull his punches leftstreet Mar 31 #12

There's no "value". He's anti-Democrat. muriel_volestrangler Mar 31 #14

The number of 2024 non-voters is based on comparison with the 2020 turnout numbers Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #28

That doesn't mean they were "reliably Democratic voters", as claimed muriel_volestrangler Apr 1 #35

I think the 2024 abstainers are learning that lesson the hard way Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #39

To be fair, SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #41

Which would still mean they're dumb shits, but for a different reason (nt) muriel_volestrangler Apr 1 #42

True! SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #43

"When Democrats use the term purity test against leftists ... same ... hypocrisy ... we're familiar with from fascists." betsuni Mar 31 #15

He refers to Kamala Harris who is seen as the problem and the solution is Graham Platner. JI7 Mar 31 #17

It's Democrat-bashing porn. Both Sides porn. betsuni Mar 31 #10

Yup , i love how he just dismissed those who did have a purity test JI7 Mar 31 #18

It doesn't even make any sense, the ideology is hating the Democratic Party and that's it. betsuni Apr 1 #26

That's not how I heard it Fiendish Thingy Mar 31 #16

Look again at the quote in reply #11 muriel_volestrangler Mar 31 #19

He does indeed mention the Left Fiendish Thingy Mar 31 #20

But not the left of the Democrats. muriel_volestrangler Mar 31 #21

I'm sure he was including AOC, Bernie, Jayapal, Mamdani, Warren etc. in the group scolded by the Centrists Fiendish Thingy Mar 31 #22

Amazing how you're "sure" when he didn't name a single one of them muriel_volestrangler Apr 1 #23

Boom.. Mahalo, MV... Cha Apr 1 #24

I wholeheartedly agree Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #30

True, but also true... Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #27

The more I read what he said, the more I reckon he's calling all Dems "centrist" muriel_volestrangler Apr 1 #29

We read/listen with different filters, that much is clear Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #31

He titled his video SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #34

I think he thinks leftists are revolutionary socialists, not a part of liberal capitalist Democratic Party. betsuni Apr 1 #44

Sorry but compare the endorsement of Mamdani vs. Cuomo SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #32

Many of those endorsements came at the very last minute, when it was clear Mamdani was going to win Fiendish Thingy Apr 1 #33

Endorsements are usually staggered for impact. SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #36

Let me get this straight SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #37

I'm put off by a guy MorbidButterflyTat Mar 31 #9

That's not all he can't "figure out" Cha Apr 1 #25

He looks like a Trump supporter SocialDemocrat61 Apr 1 #38

Well stated argument. Fiendish Thingy Mar 31 #13
