38. "If Democrats can't do the job they should get out of the way." Revolution, transformation.

Thu Mar 19, 2026, 12:01 PM

Thursday

Taking on and standing up to and fighting an evil Democratic establishment, accusing Democrats of genocide because AIPAC donates five dollars to a campaign (Democrats "take" money -- we imagine cartoon villains greedily rubbing their hands together), threats of primarying because of imaginary corrupt geezers clinging to power (will stop at nothing to thwart nice young candidates), threats not to do as I say or else I won't vote, Democrats the "true roadblock to progress" who must be removed and replaced.

It's an very aggressive message.

Too many have misinterpreted Mamdani's win in NYC SocialDemocrat61 Mar 18 #13

And Mamdani's personal qualities. RandySF Mar 18 #14

Progressives would be wise to follow Mamdani's blueprint Quiet Em Mar 18 #15

Yes! redstatebluegirl Thursday #34
