Top Democrats insist that they’re unfazed by the party’s forming a “Zohran Mamdani wing,” after the New York City mayor’s stunningly successful primary night.
They’re not going to “let them” do anything. The progressives are taking over the party whether the establishment want them to or not, because the progressives are the ones with their voters’ needs in mind, who serve their constituents over corporate donors.
The mandate from the masses, the consent of the governed, all those lofty ideals that underpin democracy give the advantage to progressives. The only way the Democratic Party establishment holds onto power over the next few election cycles is by abandoning democracy.
