We shouldnt have to sign a fucking petition for members of the same party to support the fucking candidate

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

TBF a lot of claims that the vast majority of DNC in the NY State Congress support Mamdani, and he's been congratulated by Bill Clinton and the DNC Minority Speakers in US House and Senate.

Having like a 90% approval among your party might not be the greatest but it's not terrible.

But it's not good enough when the media is giving megaphones to the 10% and ignoring the 90

But being congratulated doesn't mean being endorsed.

DNC: Congratulations Mamdani!

whispers to colleague Get him...

They actually have been after the results of a recent general election poll show Mamdani winning with supporters from both sides of the political spectrum, and they also never endorsed any other candidates in the general, but feel free to stay inside your fantasies.

Did the DNC leadership gave unequivocal support to Mamdani?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can give you yesses or noes if you put some names up.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So, the majority of DNC leadership don't support him.

Edit: a word

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't realize I was talking to Bizzaro Superman.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well then, name all those in DNC leadership who endorsed Mandami and those who haven't.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You want ME to nane the people in YOUR assertion?

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You offered to name DNC leaders who endorsed Mamdani and how many of them, versus who are against him, so I am letting you.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They would have endorsed cuomo.

or to accept a petition delivery from what would be a voting organization with no other option but to support their future DNC candidates, or an organization that could volunteer to help turnout for such candidates.
