C'mon guys...

This is the current DNC chair talking about how Mamdani is the future of the party, from over a year ago.

Before Mamdani had even won his general election.

Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there's a lot of lessons.

One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can't just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There's no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we're for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.

And that's really critical. And I think that's one of the lessons from Mamdani's campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.

I think that's one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they're at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.

There's a lot to learn from that campaign, and I'm excited to learn more.

It's over a year since the person with total and complete control over not just the party but the billions the neoliberals had hoarded...

And there's still ignorant ass memes about how "the party" hates Mamdani.

Oh, is that what they've been doing? Could have fooled me.

I don't think you understand what the DNC is...

Like, just for shits and giggles, tell me what you believe the DNC should be doing right now. And I'll probably take the two minute to explain why that has nothing to do with the DNC as an organization.
