There's a reason it's called the "Red Scare" and not the "Vote Blue no Matter Who Scare"

Not that I disagree, but people will always vote for who they think is the smartest. Everyone wants that person to come in and solve this big wealth inequality math puzzle.
There are many people who actually still think Trump has some big plan to bring manufacturing back or have Elon do UBI.

People pretending to give two shits about the Whitehouse is hilarious.

Maybe if more Dems were saying what Mamdani says about Israel, he wouldn't have to be lumped in with the guy wearing a nazi tattoo.

In the last 24 hoursm the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt has attacked by name, Zohran Mamdani & Graham Platner, both left-wing Dem candidates who criticize Israel.

He has said not a word about Paul Ingrassia, Trump's nominee for a top government job, who was caught saying he has a 'Nazi streak.'

1. outrageous and offensive

2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit

Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said

1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

Even with the government shutdown, lots of Democrats are still acting like it’s business as usual

It bewilders the mind.
Amazon announces they are replacing 1 million workers in a decade, meanwhile liberals are in mass panic over some hillbilly with a nazi tattoo being popular.
At some point the willful ignorance becomes the malicious truth. They hate poor people and/or "got mine" already.

It is a very dumb hill to die on.
Bernie is taking the bait because he's a stubborn old communist riding off his Mamdani high. We will have more Mamdanis, we don't want this guy.

Horseshoe theory is just Americans not understanding populism brought on by late stage capitalism.

Americans do not like elites right now for very obvious reasons. Soon you won't even have to say "screw the elites" the right way.

He's not going anywhere, the hammer is coming down hard and more will come out.
We can't ignore who he was beating up until then and what that says about what Americans want right now.
Even Janet has admitted she's basically running against them Dem's 80% disapproval rating.

NV Centrist 🇺🇸 @cryopunk.bsky.social · 9h

We're voting for Janet, actually.

Don't worry bro he said he's a Janet Mills fan.

strictly speaking, the nazis were Germany having an American phase

onion person @junlper.beer · 17h

genuinely why do so many americans have a nazi phase or become genuine nazis. on a fundemental level you’d think that we’d have as much shared hatred for nazism as we do for the british

Strong Fetterman vibes from that man.

I see that stuff too, and that's fine and all, but why does Disney and Sony play along? They know they're losing money with him.
Wealthy people inserting themselves into movies is hardly new, but the idea is their brand appeal will make up for lack of acting abilities.
No one's showing up for Leto.

Maybe after socialism takes over you'll actually be able to afford a house and groceries.
Then centrism can be a somewhat normal position, instead of just being a vaguely racist home owner.

Red scare. In any other timelne these guys would've just been problematic tankies with no legitimacy because we don't need them.

The argument is that he has "connections"

Dude must be a pretty good friend and coworker if execs are willing to lose money on all his projects.

Eh, I like it. When this happens it's because the left is growing and moving further left at the same time.

Give us 10 years of this and we might even get healthcare.
