      Remind me: did the blue vote get meaningfully split by the establishment dems in the general? Or, is Mamdami sitting in the seat?

        The party tried. And you’ll forgive everything the centrist wing will ever do.

          I think that if the corporate ccespool is what the voters want, then let them have it. Alabama is a shithole, but its the shithole the voters voted for. Let them fester in their squaler to their hearts’ content. That’s the nature of democracy and regional governance we have.

          Am I glad Mandami won? Of course I am. We haven’t had a true centrist to model center-left to the American people in a lllllooooonnnnnggggg time. But, the system worked.

            The system failed. It’s why Mamdani won. If the system had succeeded like it usually does, sex pest Cuomo would be mayor.

        Mamdami was way after the election, and he was a catalyst to more “left than center right seats” if dnc/gop had continued thier media attack against him. they largely stopped.

        So attempting to split the vote is fine if you’re a corporate Democrat trying to stop a dirty communist from winning?
