Another Trumper full of regret.

"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."
But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid
Right wing voters would rather vote for a communist than a moderate liberal.
Take notes, Democrats. If you want to steal the right vote, run socialists
Definitely this. Trump could tell his supporters that he needs to shit in their mouths to “own the libs” and they would happily line up mouths open like a bunch of baby birds. (Sorry for that visual)
Nah, that's fake. The point of the Democrats isn't for the center right party to win. It's for the center right party to lose. Being center right is just a means to the end of losing. Because no matter how right wing they are, they won't be able to do as much damage as the neo Nazi party. And that's what the point is.
They're only shunning Mamdani performatively. It's sin signalling. They're doing it to be hated. They might win New York, and that's an acceptable sacrifice if it helps them lose the rest of the country.
i think "government-run grocery stores" is a bit beyond centre-left, maybe left but keeping half a foot on the centre
Well thank you for agreeing with me.
It's why right media has to demonize socialism; they don't want people to vote for it.
