Establishment Democrats looking to recover from 2024’s losses fear Mamdani could hurt the party’s brand nationally
don’t they know only going right is the only acceptable solution!
Other Democrats see Mamdani — a state Assembly member with a history of controversial comments about Israel and policing — as politically toxic for a party whose national success depends on its ability to attract votes in less progressive places nationwide.
So, to the DNC, it’s better to see the winning Democratic candidate defeated in the general now because that will ensure victory in Alabama in a year or three? The propaganda machine will smear anyone who dares to run with a D next to their name. You might as well own it and embrace the positions your voters want.
… that will ensure victory in Alabama …
Narrator: It won’t.

This reminds me of the 2021 mayoral election in Buffalo, NY, where a progressive won the Democrat primary, but the conservatives (both Republicans and establishment Democrats) joined forces to back the establishment candidate in the general election.
that just confirms that they are one in the same, on the status quo. the old guard are just republican lite, or they wouldnt been able to be elected if they were R party.
Good.
