The big winner? Zohran Mamdani. LOL.

One Party Is Purging Antisemites. The Other Party Is Electing Them
The GOP continues to shed the people who hate Zionists and think Jews have too much power—while the Democratic Party continues to elect them.


The Tucker Carlson thread was amusing. He left the GOP because he's being paid by Qatar and is now letting his antisemitic freak flag fly. But anyway:

The Democratic Socialists of America had a sweep last night. Three candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, two of whom were expected to lose and two of whom were incumbents, won their primaries in New York City.

All three focused their campaigns on the hatred of Israel and the Jews who support it which they share with New York’s mayor, so much so that revelers chanted “Free, free Palestine” at victory parties.

Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Chevalier all won with the highly-educated white progressives that make up Mamdani’s base, the kind of people for whom Palestine has become the latest virtue signal. Chevalier, who won a district that includes the Bronx, actually lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points.


Awesome. The true colors, they be shining through.

At a campaign rally, Mamdani called AIPAC—an organization that helps American citizens find pro-Israel candidates—a “monster” that “moves dark money”—a dark force “turning us against one another.”

“Swap ‘AIPAC’ for ‘Jews’ and it’s the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theory in the books,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer. “That’s not criticizing a lobby. That’s laundering antisemitism from your podium as Mayor of a city with more than a million Jews. This bullshit is dangerous.”


Saw this point and really agree with it:

It won't be long before AOC is attacked from her left flank as not being progressive enough. The democrat party is about to have a civil war on its hands. I'm here for it!

And more:

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/06/24/democrat...

Democrats are benefiting from the sour mood of the country and Trump's hopefully temporary disastrous poll numbers, but the chances that they could ride a Blue wave this fall are diminishing, and their long-term prospects still look horrendous.

There's a simple reason for that: the median Democrat is very left-wing already, but the most active "Democrats" are full-blown communists who openly hate America, want to destroy it, and who love criminals and illegal aliens with the passion that Scott Weiner feels when he sees a young boy in assless chaps.

Everybody is rightly focused on Mamdani's success in the New York Primaries, but if the Mamdani wave were simply a reflection of his political skills being the right fit for the "commie corridor," the problem would be annoying, but not actively dangerous to the Democratic Party brand across the country.


But what's even more interesting...
But it's not true that this is a New York City Problem, and even a New York City problem is bigger than it would first appear. After all, New York City is the power base for the (nominally) two most powerful Democrats in the country, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and they got their rear ends handed to them. The establishment is defenseless.

Trump decapitated a lot of democrat party dark money with the shuttering of USAID (funneled tons of money into left wing groups, who then dutifully worked to elect democrats and leftists in other countries) and ActBlue, which has been enabling campaign finance fraud for decades. One is now gone and the other is facing serious questions about its future.

The democrat party has always been fraudulent in the sense that its members rarely take concrete stands on issues, rarely act on principle, and can never actually point to the intellectual center of gravity of their party. It's always been vague slogans and virtue signaling...but neither of those are actual stated principles.

The DSA? Oh, they have principles - horrid ones that are borderline if not flat-out evil, but they believe...and they've been supplanting the regular democrats on both coasts.

Yep, the democratic party is no more. It’s the nazicratic party now.

Per your link Bill,
“There's a simple reason for that: the median Democrat is very left-wing already, but the most active "Democrats" are full-blown communists who openly hate America, want to destroy it, and who love criminals and illegal aliens with the passion that Scott Weiner feels when he sees a young boy in assless chaps.”

Sounds about right to me.

Actually it was Dope’s link.

As I said- Hot Air
