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.

Have you never had a landlord before?

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.

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

[–] Larqy@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

Well this is a dumb take (since it would quite literally prevent the "that" you want from happening). The way it happens is voting for whatever Democrat you can, and actively participating in the primary race so that you get the Democrat you want.

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.

I long to live in a world that isn’t Twitter screenshots

What do you mean? You don't like having to solve a mild brain teaser to determine what order to read posts in every time?

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.

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...
