The NYC Mayoral Primary was June 24 (95 days ago) & the General is Nov 4 (in 37 days). And Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries—the two Democratic Party leaders who should be leading by example—have still REFUSED to endorse the democratic nominee.

I don’t ever wanna hear them or any of their supporters utter “vote blue no matter who,” ever again. What indefensible cowardice and hypocrisy.

Thankfully, Zohran Mamdani continues to rise & the future looks bright.

@QasimRashid One thing to check is whether Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries have ever endorsed a candidate for mayor. In Chuck Schumer's case, if he endorses a candidate for mayor for one city in New York state, he might get requests from candidates for all the other towns and cities in that state, which could become unmanageable.

@QasimRashid He doesn't need them. That's what's crazy.

@QasimRashid Considering the popularity of Schumer and Jeffries right now, their non-endorsement is probably an advantage. And they're probably both done after their current terms anyway.

@QasimRashid Next time Schumer is up for reelection, I'm writing in Zohran Mamdani.

💯❕

this makes me absolutely fucking furious!
I had some very choice posts to that weak coward Hakeem Jeffries. Even Tim Miller called him out on this

We need to primary both those mf'ers. Schumer is done, & Jeffries is for sale

Surely we can find better New Yorkers than these 2

I mean, vote for them if they are the candidate against a #Repug but surely we can do better. Start fielding candidates💙

#resist #resistance #WT7 #trueblue

I'd like to draw attention to two competing,
hypocritical, & equally stupid positions:

@ "How can you not support Harris? She’s the
Democratic candidate”
@ “Mamdani is too far left, | just can’t support him”

@ "How can you not support Mamdani? He's the
Democratic candidate"
@ “Harris is not left enough, | just can’t support her”

You can vote for whatever shade of blue you want...
...until you are voting against red!

You are either anti-fascist, or you're not

I'm glad people are realizing that the Democratic Party are not our friends, that they are *not* looking out for us. They're looking out for the money, and that's all.
