@lionel_trolling You are not a serious person. Thought maybe you were, but glazing Nazi tattoos and antisemitism ain't it. No fan of Batya but she's better than you.

@stevemorris__ Page me in 10 years if this is the way the Democrats and Jews are going.
English
Meanwhile, in reality, there are currently: 10 Jewish senators, all of whom are Democrats, 6 Jewish governors, all of whom are Democrats, and 34 Jewish House members, 30 of whom are Democrats

The noise you heard tonight was the sound of John Ossoff (ranked 3rd on Polymarket) and Josh Shapiro (ranked 5th) chances of being the Dem. nominee in 2028 imploding. Moderate, Jewish, and pro-Israel is the exact opposite direction of where the Dem base is going right now.

@DeepNotShallow Palestine First. Import the third world, get the third world.

It's literally about all of that AND ending every foreign war and all arms to Israel.
How is it a deal breaker that you'd trade away Medicare for All just to keep spending money on bombs that kill kids overseas?!
Shannon Watts@shannonrwatts
As a liberal progressive, I would be fine with the party moving left if these wins were about Medicare for all, reproductive rights, universal childcare, taxing billionaires, and creating affordable housing, But they weren’t.

I'd also add the canvass launches and rallies of Zohran and his slate are some of the most genuinely hopeful and fun political events I have ever seen. People clearly believe in who they are asking others to vote for and have a blast doing it. People are exhausted of the politics of dread; they want someone to believe in, not just something to fight against. After 10 years of dread, people are desperate for a message of hope and genuine change that will never come from the same people who got us into this mess.
Hunter Biden@HunterBiden
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

@JoyceCarolOates socialism has literally failed *everywhere*
English
run! run! run for the hills! wicked socialists will force us to accept free postal service, horror of free public transportation (as the bad socialists have in Europe) , one day (maybe) universal health care! run!
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
Free advice for New Yorkers: get out while you still can. The rise of socialists in NYC will threaten everyone. Mamdani’s power will increase, socialists will gain more seats and they’re coming next for you. Get out now. NYC is going down the tubes.
English
@SteveNegusMasr @mattyglesias Nothing short of being pro-Hamas would appease these people and the more you beg them for their approval the more they see you as a weak cuck.
English
@mattyglesias Taking a more evenhanded approach in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would remove a big liability for Democratic candidates among the younger set of primary voters, and I don't think would hurt with general election voters.
English
The Democratic Party primary electorate becoming more left wing is entirely consistent with the median voter going to the right though.
English
@jessesingal I'll never vote for another Democrat if this is the path they are going to take. Maybe Jews will end up politically homeless.
English
3/ Dunno what this will do to D politics in the long run. I also acknowledge that there remains a chunk of D voters who are (in my view) far too deferential toward Israel. But there might be a silent(ly seething) plurality of liberal D voters very turned off by what's going on.
English
1/ Anecdotal and take for what it's worth but since October 7, the message liberal Zionist types have gotten is that there is absolutely no place for them in any coalition to rein in Israel. Doesn't matter how disgusted you are by Bibi, the settlements, or anything else.
Steve Negus@SteveNegusMasr
@mattyglesias I expect mainstream Democrats could undercut a lot of the wilder left-wing candidates' appeal if they supported placing conditions on support to Israel, which really shouldn't be a left-right issue. Not sure how much they'd lose by this.
English
You think the guy who barely got a third of the vote in his own seat is well positioned to run for mayor?
Ben Max@TweetBenMax
Dan Goldman immediately moves toward the top of the list for potential Mamdani 2029 challengers.
English
@zachdcarter DSA are white yuppies, so she's kind of right.
English
Yes I’m sure the reason the very popular mayor and his team did so well last night is that the New York Democratic Party decided to be more racist
English
@robbysoave It's white, affluent progressives voting for third world and Islamist candidates. The perfect red/green alliance.
English
This is an important point that actually undercuts an idea popular with some conservatives, especially Stephen Miller, that the radical left takeover is a result of importing the third world. High income, elite educated whites are more in favor of Chevalier than poorer blacks and Hispanics.
Batya Ungar-Sargon@bungarsargon
Darializa Chevalier lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points. She also lost predominantly Black and Hispanic areas, and she lost lower income areas by 10 points. She won with young voters and higher income voters, and won majority college educated areas by 20 points.
English
@nikicaga That's what Zionism is but apparently that's the font of all evil in the world. Funny how that works for Jews, huh?
English
I think anyone to the left of David Duke should agree that all humans deserve self determination and a life free of war and segregation

And what's wrong with free Palestine? Its not even one of the more aggressive slogans, its a really simple and moderate one

The problem is that the fringe left has this view of Israel as like the lodestar of all modern evil and tends to ignore how and why the casual portrayal of all Israelis as inherently monstrous lends itself to antisemitism.
Cassie Pritchard@hecubian_devil
Well, that’s pretty dumb. The fringe of American right is full of people saying Jews are evil parasites who must be gotten rid of, whereas the fringe of the American left is just people who really really dislike Israel, about 35% of whom are themselves Jewish
English
@camkasky Go back to Florida. We don't like settlers here in NYC.
English
I think it’s extremely telling that in NY-12, one of the most pro-Israel districts in the country, none of the Israel supporting candidates would align themselves with AIPAC. That is how toxic this brand has become.
English
@JillFilipovic Fuck off with this word vomit. You'll support any bullshit coming out of the Democrats including abuse, Nazi tattoos or Islamic terrorism. Just as long as they have a D next to their name!
English
DSA candidates cleaned up in New York's primary races. These results really are a rebuke of an ideologically hollowed-out Democratic Party. They're also the result of a charismatic mayor on whose team everyone now wants to play, and an organization that has invested in creating spaces for ideological exploration and debate that excite and engage the young and idealistic.

@offbeatorbit Loser behavior are NYC transplants and their retarded socialism. Get the fuck out of the city and stick to Ohio.

I generally like Tish enough but this is such loser behavior.
Alex Thompson@AlexThomp
Leiticia James to @IsaacDovere: she and other political leaders she’s spoken to are “disappointed” in Mamdani. “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done” cnn.com/2026/06/24/pol…
English
@RonBrownstein LOL, Republicans are going to run on America First and Democrats are like hold my beer, we're Palestine First.
English
Deep down how many Dems from any wing of the party really disagree? “Our party needs to admit that Joe Biden’s ‘hug Bibi’ strategy was a catastrophic mistake,” Lander said
POLITICO@politico
Even in New York, Israel is proving toxic in Democratic primaries. Progressives critical of Israel and the war in Gaza swept a trio of House races in the state — a stunning shift that carries national implications for the party. politico.com/news/2026/06/2…

@angriereveryday @SamAdlerBell Keep hiding behind those tokens.

@SamAdlerBell Leftists: *basking in the glory of nominating a prominent Jewish American NYC politician for Congress, who was also endorsed by the most popular Jewish American politician in the country*
Some morons: ITS A DARK NITE FOR JEWS!!!

@SamAdlerBell Jesus, just admit you love third world communism with a nice helping of antisemitism. Honesty is always best!
