Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Other data of note:
Mamdani continues to go beastmode with young people, putting up regime numbers with a 73% vote share of the under 29 demographic, and a still commanding 62% of voters between the ages of 30 and 44
Amongst all candidates, a plurality of voters believe Mamdani has best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict
DNC will take all of the wrong lessons from this, of course
Candidate running an almost strictly economic campaign is absolutely dominating a 4-way election field?
But will he condemn Hamas?
I think this is the real reason why this guy sparks an ember of optimism in me. Even if everything else good turns to shit and it probably will, if he wins it’s a blow against vibes-based politics across the board.
He won because of his social media campaign, so dem candidates should probably get $10 million social media consultants going forward
The campaign advertised a very good set of proposed policy changes, even if they are mild compared to what’s needed to remedy the ideology killing the human race. Yes it was a good campaign, but it’s literally as simple as being decently charismatic and backing ideas that actually help alleviate conditions for working people. That’s how Obama won. The problem is it pretty much can’t happen at the presidential level and Dems aren’t charismatic relative to their base who probably want material change and not purely racism
he's campaign obama. i hope he doesn't turn into mayor obama.
and i wish dem ghouls would at least pretend to support good things because that would let some true believers through and maybe we'd get a few million for pre-k or something
Well they do pretend. Not enough for us but damn it’s more than enough for your ordinary liberal voter
You’ll get nothing and you’ll like it
As is tradition.
