Yea, it's very comfortable shouting this from the bluest state in the country lol. NYC is not Iowa or Maine

I suppose I am something of a centrist democrat. However I take that moniker in place of the aggressive Overton Window shifts that have occurred over the last decade. I do not find the Hyper Modernist shift acceptable as they are far more libertarian than they understand. I am more comfortable with Socialist policy, leadership, and approach. I like collectivist communal lifestyles but anything that divulges to communism has become a wearying conversation.

So I feel rather centrist, almost grilling .

That particular pathway exists in some parts of the USA, such as NYC, but certainly does not work for many other parts. That said, I'd say nearly all voters are sick of status quo corporatism and "controlled opposition".

For goodness sake, just look at how NYC precincts voted in 2024

In a place where Harris posted lots of +80, +90 precincts (I think the closest on the actual island is +35 or so) and would've won in a landslide yes, we've found a way to barely win an election and keep us happy in our echo chambers.

Mamdani won in NYC. His experience cannot be directly applied to the entire country.

Governor of Virginia wouldn't have won on Mamdani's policies.

We really need to stop being such single-minded idiots.

Love Mamdani, but we can't pretend the things he campaigned on and is accomplishing in NYC would work everywhere, especially battleground states. Not saying the move is to pivot to the center/right, but we have to be realistic...

The American left has a big problem with purity testing, and it's going to come for Mamdani soon. He's still in the honeymoon phase, it's been only 7 or so months since he took office. Give it another year or two, and this guy is going to be ripped to shreds by all the people praising him now. They'll hate him just like how all the left hate Obama now even though they loved him when he was still new.

I hope people are reading the DSA manifesto because the principles in it are not American and Democrats are delusional if they think a majority of Americans will vote for this. The downsides of capitalism have been apparent for some time but this isn't the solution.
