Mamdani has appointed Jeffrey Lerner—a former top Obama White House aide and Democratic National Committee political director—as his communications chief.
Lerner is in bed with a bunch of law firms that I would rather he not be. He does have connections for the kind of campaign Mamdani needs to run to get the DNC suckups to get on board though, so I’m skeptical, but hopefully this is a good.
Mamdani needs to run to get the DNC suckups to get on board though
why does Mamdani need any of that support at all? He has the nom, he is on the ballot, NYC will be voting for him. Obama and the DNC aren’t needed at all.
Winning the Democratic Primary guarantees him a spot on the ballot. If the gormless dems want to pull some strings and run Cuomo as well they can certainly do that. Compromising with Nazis isn’t going to help Mamdani.
The DNC is a political organization that can back whomever on the ballot they want. If they get pushback from enough people, they could run someone else.
They won’t because the uprising and abandonment of that organization would be massively stellar, but it’s not some officiated process.
Ballot access for NYC mayorial candidacy is 100% officiated. There are explicit rules and requirements that if you meet you are 100% GUARANTEED ballot access. By simply winning the primary, he is 100% guaranteed to be on that Mayoral Ballot. He is also 100% allowed to run with under the Democratic Ticket. There is nothing at all the DNC, a national grifter org, can do to affect his access to the NYC Mayoral Ballot.
They can choose to gather signature and run Cuomo, they can run back other candidates, they can spend millions backing the AIPAC preferred candidates, but they are going to do that regardless of what Mamdani does or says.

Khan is a smart fucking move.

Apparently you’re not really aware of this works.
What do primaries do, and where did this nominations come from?
Also, it’s a Primary. He’s not on the ballot yet.Thats why everyone is pissed off at the DNC.

No. It doesn’t guarantee anything.
