Allies of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept the region’s Democratic House primaries Tuesday evening, the latest example of liberal-minded voters shifting their preferences.

And after Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Claire Valdez won—all of whom have been vocal critics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza—the biggest loser seemed to be MAGA world, which was left befuddled and irate that voters had turned away from candidates espousing the historically pro-Israel party line.

Appearing on Fox News, deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller complained that the “Democrat Party has abandoned [centrism] and instead adopted this radical, revolutionary, and in many cases, violent ideology that wants to tear America down, and destroy everything that we know and love, from top to bottom.”

Yet again Republicans make the democrats sound way cooler than they actually are.

Right?

What do Republicans love?

  • patriarchy
  • white nationalism
  • the taste of billionaire boot

Did I miss anything?

Ronald Reagan but he’s kinda the embodiment of all three.

Democrat Party has abandoned [centrism]

If only!

Maybe they're slowly beginning to, which would be nice.

The democratic party is actually boring as shit with how centrist and even conservative they are.

Republicans love to get their loins all frothy imagining democrats as militant revolutionaries who are here to turn your kids gay, get rid of christmas, and give your paycheck to some satanic fentanyl addict.

It's all just propaganda from billionaires and corporately owned media, who strive to keep the workers fighting each other.

Democratic voters continue to make electoral choices to further the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence & the US Constitution whenever possible

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I guess, but only in the case of these progressive wins. The actual democratic party leadership is a dumpster fire of rightward leaning corruption and bribery powered betrayal of its voter base.

The party voter base is still way too centrist than it should be, largely because they falsely strategize that its the only way forward against republicans. if they are handed a new choice In the form of progressive candidates I don't know how many Americans will vote progressive. But I hope its a majority of the dems.
