It goes to show even Republicans don’t understand how Trump came to have so much power.
To recap: He appeared and said things that were universally condemned since the beginning. The point of that wasn’t to win over voters, it was to increase name recognition to the point that everyone knew and was talking about Trump in national media. After that, Trump had a direct line to voters and could exploit that relationship directly without the national media.
Right now, they are giving Mamdani national name recognition. This is fantastic. If they keep this up, he’ll have a direct line to voters just the same.
And maybe, just maybe, once they know who he is, some sizable part of the population will actually vote for [checks notes] health care, increased pay, increased protections, taxing the rich.

Oh no no no! This is TERRIBLE! Then Democrats Might want US to ALSO enact Policies that HELP them!
-Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and the DNC!
Chuck “my job is to keep the left pro-Israel” Schumer must be throwing a tantrum right now.
Oft evil shall evil mar
Please oh please oh please!
Trump took my job. If I still had my job maybe I wouldn’t entertain ideas of converting to socialism. I can’t be a capitalist without capital.
Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.
This is the best piece of political news in 2025 so far.
Roll with it. Hard.
They’re too up their asses to realize that’s a tactical error on their part. Make progressives the new face of the Democratic party, and sell the shit out of progressive values, stated clearly and plainly.
Free advertising! When I see which points Fox “News” presents to make him look “evil”, it is hard to find better endorsements.
I hope it’s gayer frogs. The frogs are insufficiently gay.
Wish the Democrats would do the same
Democratic Party usually: “Vote blue no matter who.”
Democratic Party with Mamdani: “Yabbut…” They are absolutely losing their minds over this. Refusing to endorse him and will probably try to sabotage him. Their reaction to this is exposing how truly full of shit they really are.
“And he wants to give you affordable health care! Public transit! Tax the rich! Can you believe this socialist? Wait, where are you going? Come back!”
It’s crazy how big the political divide has gotten that I wish Democrats were as “bad” as Republican fear mongering portrays them.
Your comment resonates so much with me.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Also: how do they not get that he’s convincing Republican voters who have been rage voting for almost as long as the guy himself has been alive?
Seriously: fucking help solve people’s problems in a real and immediate sense and shocker - they can be persuaded to vote for you.
But national Republicans have already spotlighted Tuesday’s primary. “Every single Democrat now owns Mamdani’s radical socialist agenda to defund police, abolish prisons & stop ICE from deporting criminals,” the committee posted later, quoting House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries congratulating Mamdani.
Guess I’m socialist.
Always have been
Dems did the same thing to trump. This could go really well.
The Pied Piper strategy from the 2016 Clinton campaign!
tbf back then we still thought a majority of people weren’t bugfuck insane.
Nothing more American than to see Republicans freak out at the tiniest possibility that someone wants to actually help average Americans … and instead of ignoring them, they label him a radical socialist that is dangerous… dangerous to who? The rich!
He’s not even dangerous to the rich. Rich people live in Democratic socialist countries like Finland. They are just going to be slightly less rich. The horror!!
slightly less rich while living an overall better quality of rich life. Being rich is great but being rich and living in a clean and orderly environment is amazing!
