Oh yeah, the DNC is gonna push for this dude to be the next president.

The DNC chair went on record saying he wants a candidate like Mamdani, almost immediately after Mamdani won the primary…
Which is pretty much the opposite of Newsom.
He’s never endorsed a single candidate during a primary, and ran fair primaries while the chair of Minnesota’s state party for a decade…
Which is the exact opposite of what you say will happen.
So why are you saying that 3 weeks from an insanely important midterm election?

Probably just because historically the DNC always pushes the most “moderate” candidate? I mean, there’s plenty of precedent.

That’s exactly like saying voting is pointless because the next president will be the same as the last two…
Not only is it wrong, it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
The more people repeat it in 2026 because it was true for 30 years the less people vote, and the more likely it is we lose our once in a generation chance at a decent president. And if we actually get that, all we have to do is keep paying attention and vote to keep the streak alive, at this point it’s literally that easy.
Picture your ideal president in 2029, and imagine how stupid it would be if I blamed them for stuff trump did, and said they’re gonna do all the same shit trump did, because your president holds the same title.
That’s literally as fucking stupid as people who believe the DNC is a monolithic institution that operates on long term plans.
It’s four year terms of a person who can literally do whatever the fuck they want with the party. Jamie Harrison was Biden’s pick who ran it from 2021 to 2025, and I bet you didn’t even know that till now.
Mamdani didnt push the party to the left, he helped pushed the DSA to the right
I dunno, man, someone who will actually try to address the issues the nation faces instead of continuing to placate the rich and slowly strip away the rights of minorities.
But, like, I guess that’s a mythically tall order.
