Zohran’s response:

Not as long as you keep electing Republicans into majority. Wisconsin just flipped Democratic after Musk poured millions into trying to seat a Republican.

But what about BoTh SiDeS?

Gerrymandering reform redistricting next! We need those extra seats!

I want more Democratic Socialism. I want more Zohran Mamdani. I want more AOC.

Those candidates run often, but we don’t show up to the primary. If we did, they’d get more funding and support.

Take it from a political strategist analyzing Mamdani’s campaign.

For sure. Did you see Alaska’s big news today?

Where’s the poop, Lisa?

This is how he works. He starts with an “outlandish claim” that no one takes seriously, and then repeats it until the average citizen becomes desensitized. First it’s just “the worst of the worst” then it’s just “violent criminals” then just “criminals” then “illegals…”. Next thing you know, it’s so normalized that he’s selling merch in celebration.

It’s important to know his pattern, especially considering he’s been talking about deporting US citizens for two months now, and the Republicans in Congress have already granted him the authority to do so.

I applaud his campaign and what they accomplished. Don’t expect it to change on a larger scale without our participation.

Candidates like Zohran Mamdani run often, but they don’t have the means to reach you. Very few congressional districts can be canvassed on foot and mass transit like NYC.

The key is for us to seek out the progressive on the primary ballot and vote. We shouldn’t be rewarding the candidates who have the financial means to find us in our living rooms. Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.

There are also 700 hospitals in rural areas that are in danger of closing from the cuts. The funny thing about EMTALA, is that it doesn’t apply to urgent care facilities, which is why they’re popping up everywhere. It’s far more profitable for corporations to be legally allowed to let you die from non-treatment if you’re uninsured.

Then why go through the effort to renew them? They were expiring today, and he renewed them while adding an exemption for Hungary.

Core Location is a multi-sensor system process in iOS. GPS, WiFi, cellular, Bluetooth, accelerometer, altimeter in order (as of ~5 years ago)

I’ll try a byte.

They’re called secondary sanctions. If the US sanctions Russia, and a nation is to violate those sanctions, the US would penalize the offending nation through tariffs or embargo.

I apologize if my wording was not to your liking, but the result is the same. Trump is ensuring a financial pipeline to Russia that would not exist had he not taken action.

They expired today. I will change the title from “lifted” to “extended” if it pleases you.

He won first round. We also had a ranked choice primary in 2021 when we picked Adams. The biggest difference was the increase in attendance from 21% in 2021 to 30% in 2025.

With that being said, I still completely agree that we need to ditch FPTP.

I feel for Louisiana getting lumped into Floxas, run by the mutant abomination AbbSantis.

That’s entirely up to us. We need to flood all primaries, just like we did the NYC mayoral primary.

It can’t have been proven without participation. Congressional primaries haven’t seen more than 15% attendance in over 40 years. We’ve been allowing retirees from the Silent Generation and now Boomers to decide our candidates. Gen X and younger need to actively participate in primaries and attempt to take the party over before we can actually say we’ve proven anything.

Those candidates get fucked out of winning the primary and getting on the ticket. Zohran passed that hurdle with a grassroots campaign, meaning it’s never been about the establishment. It’s always been about us participating in the primaries. If every progressive voted in every Democratic primary, no amount of underfunding or slander would stop us. It’s just that simple.
