    Ultimately, it would be more productive for the center to yell at the establishment for supporting corruption and unpopular policies rather than turning left.

    Look at how much more vitriol there was for a leftist mayoral candidate from the establishment than there was towards the leaders who do nothing while a dictator consolidates power. Apparently, its fine not to vote for a democrat if you personally think it will cause tons of economic damage in this case, but not the other.

      The entire NY mayor “controversy” has been astronomically blown out of proportion by bad actors. The vast majority of Democratic voters in the rest of the country don’t give a fuck one way or the other. But it looks great for the Republicans if the Democrats are in-fighting, and on Lemmygrad it looks great if the “establishment” Democrats are losing (never mind that Mamdani would get bodied 100x worse than Kamala on a national stage).
