The mere hint that something slightly progressive might be considered whips them into a frenzy.

Not even socialism, just a handful of young reps who say they like like socialism. After all these years, after so much complete domination of the public sphere and discourse, the capitalists are still terrified of even the mention of the thing. A spectre haunting, indeed!
The masks are sure coming off the corporate democrats. And the face behind it looks a lot like the republicans from 1979's, before the right wing christians and maga took over the republican party.
FYI: the decline of America started with these guys.

For sure a major element in the kicking off the decline, but don’t let the John Birch Society off the hook either
Well i was in high school when this happened. Never even heard of John birch till years later. But Farwell was freaking all over the news. He was the first really successful attempt to degrade the boundary between church and state.
I also moved to the south in 1986. The evangelicals openly talk about amending the constitution and making this a christian nations. Evil bunch of fucks they are.
Oh yeah i know, I was born in the south close to the time you moved there. James Dobson was more popular with my parents in comparison to the other Christian’s around me but both those motherfuckers were everywhere and doubly so in any overtly religious place of event.
Shit I attended See You at the Poll and Prayer Breakfasts before school and their hands were all up in it. Crazy to think about it retrospect because it’s so obviously brainwashing and they weren’t even really hiding it from us. Our parents signed us so we could be brainwashed, in fears that if we weren’t we would “stray from the lords path” and be damned forever!
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that JBS laid down a lot of ground work that both the Moral Majority and the Heritage Foundation built upon it and helped the societal cancer metastasis further, into the tea party and then subsequently the Alt Right/MAGA. There’s a few other players(Epstein) that weren’t necessarily in cahoots with each other that were all trying to push things further to the right and create the hellscape we see before us!
The head of the DNC started stumping for Mamdani almost as soon as he won the primary...
The party isn't the enemy, the neoliberals who ran the party for decades are. They're out of power, and most likely will be out of office soon too.
Acting like they're still "the party" only depresses primary turnout and gives them more opportunities to cling to power.
You're doing what they want you to do
The head of the DNC is not remotely as powerful as Jeffries as speaker of the house or Schumer as majority leader. Not sure where you're getting the impression that Mamdani was being stumped for by the party leaders as it existed. The only thing I agree with here is that even the leaders are not "the party" because the voters are, much to the dismay of zionist democrats.
