"Why Winning Is Bad for Democrats by Anonymous Democratic Consultant"

Let’s imagine that Zohran Mamdani does win, with a coalition of multi-class young people, immigrants, unions, renters, faith leaders, and pansexual mustache men. What does that mean for the losers? The investment bankers, the landlords, and the Wall Street guys who ask women on the street if “they’re sisters or something”? Was winning worth their tears?

As someone who won one time, I can tell you winning is often not worth it. You know what happens after you win? Governing. You know how hard that is? Who wants that kind of responsibility? Making people’s lives better by advancing policies? Responsibility is incredibly stressful.

  Should Mamdani win and begin to deliver on some of his campaign promises like free buses, city-run grocery stores, or a rent freeze, it will certainly be a slippery slope. Giving Democratic voters what they want is just like the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Whenever the mouse gets something, it only wants more and more, until the point where it is well-fed, well-rested, and happy. It’s a primrose path that will ultimately accustom Democratic voters to creature comforts like health care or education. As I’ve always told my clients, instead of giving a mouse a cookie, we should give him the ability to qualify for one chocolate chip, provided he completes a three-year apprenticeship program in an underserved neighborhood, and as long as his income doesn’t exceed $50,000 a year...

...Let’s talk about the kind of candidate Democrats should win with. Mamdani is a telegenic, intelligent guy with real convictions. If he wins, what will that mean for the average, boring Democratic legislators and candidates who pride themselves on receiving all their beliefs from polls and the crypto industry? In a way, Mamdani winning is an ableist erasure of candidates incapable of believing in anything at all. Our big-tent party must make space inside for those who are dead inside.

Well maybe the Democrats should get their act together and start actually fighting back against Trump like an actual opposition should.

Where the fuck are they? The progressives of the party are the only one's who are putting themselves in harms way and are getting shit for it from not only MAGA but also members of their own fucking party.

Let's not forget that it was the top brass of the Democrats that cost the party the election by refusing to move to the left and instead moving further to the right.

Parading a corpse around, replacing that corpse at the last minute with a nothing entity, going to the hard right to appeal to a literal fucking cult, and promising to continue policies that your base has explicitly told you they don't like.

The people need you and you're nowhere to be found, and yet you expect them to be there for you in the mid-terms.

Why?

Why should they turn up for you?

Because they have no choice?

You think you don't have to to anything because their only choice is the lesser evil? That strategy worked out so well for you last time.

Yeah, don't think you can just dissappear and reappear in the mid terms pretending like 2024 never happened.

The Dems may not have blood on their hands, but they've definitely got it on their clothes.
