The best quick analysis I’ve read of Lula’s 2nd round victory, from CEPR.net @MarkWeisbrot
cepr.net/newsroom/cepr-urges…
Blowhard @tomwatson said, right after Mamdani won, that DSA should not lobby for “tax the rich” because Mamdani would “face plant” in Albany. He also said “Mamdani would never be as popular as he is today” (November 2025). Watch video below to see if tom Watson was right.
This is right. In fact, “Bernie bros” is a misogynist smear promoted by pigs like the McCarthyist @tomwatson. It attempts to demean and diminish the vast number of women who are giving leadership to our democratic socialist movement, including most of our candidates.
I’m with Darializa. This is so eloquent. The Espaillat forces and their right wing Zionist allies have injected race into the election, calling DAC a “Haitian.” anyone who knows the slightest history of the Island of Hispaniola know what a vile and divisive charge this is. /1
Ny-13 has gotten really dirty, from the Espaillat side. See below. @BenjaminPDixon hits the nail on the head.
@DarializaforNY has not made ad hominem attacks. She argues on issues and does so calmly and effectively. She’s 1 smart lady. And she’s no anti semite. That’s a libel.
This is such a lie 👇👇 Dsa’ers are overwhelmingly the modern working class class. They are teachers, social workers, health care workers, electricians, media workers… etc. the corporate Dems spread the “trust fund” slander.
The right wing haters have been fuming about City Council member @ossechi’s arrest yesterday in an attempt to stop an eviction. Here he 3xplains what he did… and does so quite well.
The post below is stupid and also ironic… given that DSA and WFP officeholders are the most honest. How many machine Dems, including recently, have been found to be corrupt?
These are the sort of sick, sick lies that we see from the right, continually calling Mayor Z and First Lady Rama “terrorist sympathizers.” This is not a random guy but prominent rightist. They repeat these lies over and over and finally some start believing them.
.@NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife endorsed Hamas’s butchering of Jews, and he consorts with terrorist sympathizers. He should not be allowed anywhere near children.
Another huge difference between @RepDanGoldman and @bradlander. Goldman apparently coalesced with the right wing extremists to make ugly attacks on Mahmoud Khalil. you won’t find Lander doing that.
@tomwatson has repeatedly spread the lie that there are only tiny minuscule differences between Goldman and Lander on Israel/Palestine. I listed a whole slew of differences, and he didn’t respond. above is another one.
This is more realistic re Ny-12. I still think Conway is a little high hon this poll. I believe that the overwhelming spending by the AI barons against Bores is actually helping Bores. @JCColtin
New - Congress primary poll - NY 12
🔵 Bores 20%
🔵 Lasher 19%
🔵 Schlossberg 18%
🔵 Conway 13%

Is the dodo who posted this against the US being a “multiracial society”? Maybe he should take a course in American history. When was the US a “single race society”? Btw, how does religion work into this? Good lord.
This is the sort of vile disgusting Islamophobic garbage against Mayor Z that we now frequently see from the right and radical Zionists. This goes well beyond regular campaigning. I have been active in nyc politics for almost 50 years and can’t recall anything so over the top.
Podhoretz compares Namdani to Hitler. When will this stop? These are provocations and encourage violence from the extreme right.
