  • No, the political candidates are trying to gain their votes, which is more serious than “dating”. If they can’t even put in the effort to show themselves as a listener, why would anyone trust that they will fight for them to change the system to fix their problems?

    Your logic completely relies on an ideal form that most Americans cannot hope to achieve due to them living paycheck to paycheck and having more direct problems they need to care about.

    What Mamdani has proven is that if you show that you’re willing to listen to them, they will show up for you for the primary despite them not being engaged in politics. Did you think the reason all these people are showing up to vote because they’re suddenly well-informed on the political landscape and looked into each candidate’s history to make the right choice? I doubt that. I also doubt they will show up to the next primary if the candidates are just as unexciting as previous primaries.



  • You guys showed up and voted into the primary because you got a good candidate to vote for. You also got a candidate that decided listening to why immigrants voted for Donald Trump and trying to address their concerns are far more productive than blaming them for the loss in 2024. I see plenty of democrat supporters in Lemmy that are doing the exact opposite and gloated over the fact that these people are getting fucked over by Trump. That’s not how you win back voters, as proven by Mamdani here.
