Mamdani says progressive wing won battle for ‘soul of the Democratic Party’

Democratic New York mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani expressed confidence that he is leading a “movement that won the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party” in a progressive-packed rally Monday.

Mamdani spoke alongside embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James, former Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan, and a host of other progressive Democrats in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood.

The state assemblyman is battling with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa to become the city’s next mayor.

The Democratic Socialists of America member got his hits in on President Donald Trump while rallying his movement, which showed up over 3,000 strong at the event.

“Over the last nine months, we have watched the man with the most power in the world expend enormous energy targeting those with the least,” Mamdani said. “Our movement is a movement where we know exactly who and what we are fighting for. We are not afraid of our own ideas. For too long, we have tried not to lose. Now it is time that we win.”

Mamdani shocked New York political observers when he beat Cuomo in the June Democratic primary, signaling that the city wanted a definitive change instead of a return to the establishment. As the Democratic nominee, Mamdani is considered the favorite to win the November election.

James has been a prominent Mamdani ally, even before his primary victory. She is battling with the Trump administration over fraud charges she was recently indicted on. In speaking to a raucous crowd, she said that she expects them all to have one another’s backs.

“You come for me, you’ve got to come through all of us,” she said. “Every single one of us. We’re all in this together.”

Khan spoke of an economy...

“movement that won the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party” in a progressive-packed rally Monday.

ROFLOL.
Communists /Fascists/ Antisemites now control the Democratic party Soul. The questions should now be: 1) Do they have a soul? 2)If there is a soul how did Democrats get one. 3) Do communists have a Supreme being that gave them a soul....and what do they call the ‘Supreme being’?

All that “winning the battle” means is that they’re now being honest about their intentions — communism, Islamism, murdering their enemies, etc. — instead of pretending to be moderates.

The fact that they’re being open about it may mean that they feel that the majority of the US population has now been properly brainwashed.

May Almighty God confound all their plans.

LaTissue James is going down. It turns out that her house in Virginia was being used by her adult niece as a hideout, since she is a wanted criminal and now on the lam, and James knew that.

Ain’t nothing progressive about it either. These are democratic socialists, not progressives like Cuomo or Hillary.

He has stated he wants to see government take over the means of production.(which I would expect a socialist to say) Progressives don’t want government seizing the means of production, they want the administrative state.

He is correct. The Democrats as a group have seceded from the human race.
