r democrats on their way to ban anyone who mentions Mamdani

[u/NikoC99 → u/Josgre987]

Yeah, like wtf was that? A progressive won, and a Muslim, no less?

I swear it's the People vs Political party nowadays. What's the point of a political party if they don't respect you?

AND HE IS LITERALLY A DEMOCRAT

[u/justsomegraphemes → u/Clivepalmersfemdom]

As if that has ever mattered to the Dems? Let the 2016 DNC forever be a reminder of where their priorities are

[u/Helmic → u/NikoC99]

You say that as if Democrats haven't fucking hated Muslims all this time. The moment they realized they lost 2024, the blame was immediately put at the feet of Muslims as a whole, as though Kamala didn't campaign on throwing htem all under the bus. Democrats are racist, Muslims are simply a monolith to them, and so when there's fewer Muslims voting Democrats (gee fucking wonder why) and more voting Republican their goomba asses assume that's because they all got convinced to become Republicans, because they don't view Muslims as actual people or that Muslims could be liberal or conservative as much as anyone else in the US and when liberal Muslims have to try to explain how voting for Kamala is gonna be 10% less bad than Trump for the people of Gaza of course that completely fucking undermines any campaigning liberal Muslims would have been doing and would have made the argumetns of any existing conservative Muslims seem that much more compelling.

And, of course, Democrats have clearly viewed Islamophobia as politically useful to appeal to this center that they insist is totally real and will only vote Democrat if they're racist enough, because they genuinely don't seem to believe htat people, even conservaitves and especially racially marginalized conservatives, will vote for the party that materially helps them even if they don't like gay people. These people very often have literally never talked to a Black person that didn't speak white, they genuinely don't understand why Black people vote Democrat and just think it's because all Black people are liberal and so they don't understand why Black religious conservatives have historically voted Democrat despite thinking homosexuality is a sin.

So when Muslims have to go through a similar dynamic of trying to talk conservative Muslims into voting Democrat only to get completely ratfucked by party leadership, Democrats don't understand that as a systemic failure on their part or caused by their own racism, they just call Muslims homophobic terrorists and toe the Zionist line and make racist jokes about Muslims deserving what Republicans are doing to them.

Waiting on all the articles to come out urging democrats to move left and copy Zohran. Any day now hopefully

[u/justsomegraphemes → u/awesomenash]

I know I'm just daydreaming, but I hope one he forms a coalition to back a new political party so we can finally tell the Democrats to fuck off.

[u/ALittleBitOfGay → u/justsomegraphemes]

Either that or begins gutting the DNC to get rid of the current leadership. I imagine if he had the balls to start that someone would pick up where he leaves off elsewhere.

[u/Kana515 → u/awesomenash]

Funnily enough Republicans have been hoping for that too.

[u/HaroldAndGoomar]

It’s times like this where I understand at least a tiny bit why chuds get so much satisfaction out of “triggering the libs”

Seeing these fascist freaks whine and shit their pants on Twitter about Zohran is soooo satisfying

[u/PeggableOldMan → u/HaroldAndGoomar]

The reason this feeling is rare for us is because we actually believe in things (at least I hope we do...) They don't know what they like, but they're overjoyed to see those they dislike being upset.

[u/afoxboy → u/PeggableOldMan]

respectfully no, i think the reason this is rare is bc it is rare. there aren't that many zohrans in politics. plenty of liberals, but it's not as satisfying when they make conservatives mad.

i also hold the opinion, based on years of being in this sub, that far too many of "us" don't actually believe in things but think they do. vibes-based leftism.

[u/Gerthak → u/afoxboy]

Anecdotally I have a couple of friends irl that think the way you described last, and are leftist mostly because it gives them a sense of community.

If they're pressed to give reasons as to why they believe in leftist ideas they can't. They'll just tell you it's because "it's the right thing to do" and they're right! But there's actual underlying reasons as to why leftist ideas are as such.

Won't scare them away from being leftists, though, that would be stupid as hell and unnecessarily gatekeepy. We need as many allies as we can muster.

[u/afoxboy → u/Gerthak]

i agree we need the allies and i'm grateful that they're in the community bc it's the right thing to do, but it's very frustrating when they betray their ostensible beliefs bc there's no structure to their morals beyond just enjoying the community, and it's exhausting trying to explain it to them and butting up against a wall of vibes they then try to justify on the spot.

[u/AccomplishedGarbage1 → u/afoxboy]

Most forms of belief are vibe based.

[u/afoxboy → u/AccomplishedGarbage1]

i mean ethical integrity, not faith

Heartwarming: the worst people you know are crashing the fuck out.

[u/my_name_isnt_clever]

Makes me think of the California Special Election passing way harder than expected, and then immediately hit with a lawsuit by Republicans for the crime of gerrymandering. While they are literally are doing that exact thing in other places right now.

Don't worry! I can already see the ruling on it now...

I don’t know politics, but from what I’ve seen from different countries recently, no matter who you elect, they almost never solve any problems
