I'm pretty sure the account democrats deliver is not owned by the DNC and pretending it really was instead is vert silly and misplaced manufactured rage

It's twitter, nobody on there has critical thinking skills.

The DNC chair said we need candidate like Mamdani both in policy and charisma almost immediately after Mamdani won his primary...

And the only reason he waited that long. Is he won't put his finger on the scale of any primary

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/dnc-chair-on-the-path-to-winning-back-voters-and-lessons-democrats-can-learn-from-mamdani

Schumer and other neoliberals don't like Mamdani, but neoliberals lost the DNC and won't hang onto their leadership positions unless they get people to turn their nose up during Dem primaries.

Thats why voting in Dem primaries is more important than ever.

Listening to billionaire owned media about when the DNC is on our side, is like selling gold because you keep seeing "cash for gold" places...

My brother, I have an amazing deal on a bridge if you'd just jump into my DMs really quick.

Thats why voting in Dem primaries is more important than ever.

If you see a candidate worth voting for then you should vote for them. But never forget that NYC has some of the most byzantine and restrictive voting laws in the country. Worse than Florida. Worse than Texas.

So save the finger-waging at The Voters and reconsider how much Wall Street machine politics keeps a stranglehold on the statewide offices, such that guys like Mamdani are far more the exception than the rule.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Yeah! Voting is difficult so people have lots of excuses to not bother!

Apathy is the biggest factor in disenfranchisement, much as we'd all like to blame "the establishment" for lack of participation.

At this point I'm not ruling out that Ken Martin has a lemmy account. That account only ever shows up to stan for him.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Finding out the DNC has an unpaid intern working the Lemmy beat would be so fucking funny.

That the account moderates "A Boring Dystopia" carries levels of irony my mind can barely even grasp.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don’t believe it because while the Dems are terrible at social media they’d never waste money on Lemmy

You have to wonder how many accounts are people trying to drive disengagement with the process as well, then. Cause there's a hell of a lot more "dont bother participating cause we're all doomed" commenters than those sucking off the DNC.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

It's possible. Stanning for DNC leadership seems weirder to me than being blackpilled about democratic participation, though. I don't agree with either position, but being jaded is at least understandable to me.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And you don't think that's a problem? That you identify more with people who'd rather do nothing and let everything burn down around you out of spite than do literally anything to help?

It's not even like they're saying "This person is the greatest person who ever existed and should lead the world!" They're just saying "This guy isn't as bad as you make him out to be, maybe give the process a chance instead of giving up entirely".

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Don't put words in my mouth. Being jaded is understandable because of the extremely obvious flaws in our democracy and the negligible correlation between what voters want and what they get, and being dismissive of the DNC leadership is equally understandable given the canyon between them and their voters on Israel, money in politics, and the relationship between workers and capital.

I never said burn it all down, and explicitly said I disagree with the blackpilled. Your representation of what I said is so dishonest I'm wondering if you're an alt account.

I know this is a crazy thought but.. maybe a random "DemzDeliver" account doesn't speak for the entire party. Maybe this stupid ass two party system the US refuses to get rid of causes all kinds of different people to be a part of each one.

It speaks well for the leadership and big names in the party though because they threw Zohran under the proverbial bus not only not endorsing him, but some endorsed Cuomo while not trying to talk him down out of running potentially splitting the vote. Fortunately it did not but in that instance the Democrat leadership would rather have let Republicans win than an avowed socialist who is making change.

For all the saying of not letting perfection get in the way of good, a lot of Dems and neo-liberals seem mad by it or try to say they were behind him.

Borough Democrats supported him from the jump.

Rag on the corpos all you want but understand local Dems are a thing and somewhere they’re the same thing.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 32 points 2 months ago (5 children)

It doesn't matter!

Both sides are the same!

We have to sit out every election until the workers rise up and bring about the Revolution!

So what if people die without health care? That's a small price to pay!

All those Dems who dogged him, still all showed up at his Inauguration anyway, to bask in his success.

I've hated Schmuck and Gillibrand ever since I read about how they colluded to kick Al Franken out of the Senate. I will never forgive either one of those backstabbing bitches. I can't wait for AOC to primary one of them, hopefully Schumer.

I think a better message here is "Democrats can deliver." Socialists can enter the party and make positive change. In 2026, a lot of people have decided that's not true, but there's the proof it can be done.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The way that happens is not voting for the conservative democrats.

We want Zohran Mamdani to succeed based on merit and real results, not promotoinal messaging.

Zohran Mamdani’s housing claims don’t show anything new. Forcing landlords to fix violations is standard enforcement under existing housing codes in NYC, Baltimore, DC, etc. That’s baseline gov work, not innovation.

The numbers sound big, but there’s no context. Over what time period? Compared to what baseline? Without that, it reads more like a press releaase than a real policy win.

Also, this is coming from a PAC aligned acct, so of course it’s framed to look strong. That doesn’t make it false, but it does mean it’s selecctive.

Bottom line: this looks like routine code enforcement being repackaged as something special.

2nd bottom line: come on Zohran do something meaningful, we're counting on you.

He's not the one bragging about this, the Democrats are

Edit: the same Democrats that tried everything to not let him win

Also don’t disregard local elections or people who are pushing quality of life improvements that may not seem like a huge deal.

[–] Astronut@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t vote for a republican even for a dog shit picker upper position!

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

They'll just claim it was left by a trans kid and they should've used the litter box.

Or claim that there is no dog shit, it's just a liberal media hoax.

Proof that voting in local elections matter. I constantly hear from the "BoTh SiDeS" group that down ballot voting doesn't matter and primaries don't exists.
