Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm not knowledge about the strategies behind politics, so I'm not sure what would be lost (besides good will from mainstay Democrats for daring to give voters more choices in a primary) by having Ossé run. I can't tell if Mamdani explains that in the full address that the article picked quotes from. The article doesn't even pretend to have the idea that more context might be wanted.
It feels like this article was formulated to make it seem like Mamdani is singularly and proactively trying squash other upstarts in the Democratic Party. But the article goes on to say that AOC also spoke out against the primary (still unsure why).
I know some of it is the SEO of Mamdani trending but you can't do media and pretend to be ignorant of optics. Especially when you churn out such an insufficient piece of writing.
Not a fan of the headline or the article.
The Hill is owned by a holding company controlled by Nexstar, which also happens to own NewsNation. While The Hill likes to appear unbiased and in the center, it leans right. That, and I'm betting Nexstar isn't happy about having to pay more taxes in New York. I'm guessing it's an attempt to paint Mamdani as in with the establishment Dems to drive those further left away from him.
Leaving out an explanation of their position is a cheap way to sway opinion.
