The number of wealth White women Democrats distancing themselves from Mamdani should really have people asking, "What made you think that we were all on the same side." . #pumasrisingfromthegrave.

You'd think the Poor People's Campaign would loudly support of Mamdani, but like most Black-led organizations, it's really a front for the Democratic Party, and Party leadership does not like that man.

The tripartite GOP Civil War between MAGA and Romney and Musk is interesting, but they are all Republicans. The civil war between the Dems is more volatile because it's the Left against Reagan Republicans.

I think the central distinction is that infrastructure enables people to adopt more specific, robust, and meaningful activity. Whereas a handout suppresses meaningful activity.

This handout discourse is something the Left can address. And I think the best way to address it is to clarify, what is a handout vs. what is infrastructure? . Are public schools and USPS handouts, or infrastructure? Is universal childcare a handout or public infrastructure?.

Commenting on Mamdani, Eric Adams says "there's nothing dignified" about a "handout.". "New Yorkers are not looking for someone just to give them a handout."

You have to understand that Black people are not "members" of the Democratic Party. Rather, the Democratic Party OWNS Black people. We work for the Democratic Party without the expectation that the Party will work for us.

Wealthy Whites aren't more progressive; they just have a communications infrastructure to make their own decisions.

There is no autonomous political communication infrastructure, so the people with money weigh their options, and the people without money vote how they are told to by the Dem machine, if they vote at all.

To all of those saying, Mamdani only won the wealthy Whites!. Look, conventional Black institutions have worked with and through the Democratic party, and since there is so little diffused Black capital, those institutions are the only real voter mobilization orgs. Everyone else.

Mamdani's Win:.1) Rent control is a so-so issue, nationwide. It's important, but I think we need better schemes to democratize power by increasing ownership rates. 2) Free Public Transit is palliative care, unless the transit is GOOD. This may mean getting cars off the road and.

This needs to be taken seriously. Not necessarily as a bad thing, but as a fact.

The door knocking is good, but Mamdani doesn't win without primary debates and a media infrastructure that's willing to give him a chance. Mamdani's win is a victory for the structure of having a real primary.

The long term GOP spin on this is rather simple. It's some form of, "Of course Israel is going to break any ceasefire agreement whenever it feels like it, but thanks to Trump's actions, Iran will never be able to unleash nukes on Israel or its allies.".
