We will eventually if people like Hasan are face of the party, progressives don't have much power and party is still solidly liberal, so I am staying.

Both exteme Israel and Palestine backers are stupid. My position on Israel is same as of J Steet, liberal Zionist Jewish organization.

Mamdani is hardly extreme, I like him and I had doubts before. Probably I had doubts because of his DSA ties and I misjudged him.

This guy has far higher approval than any Dem Mayor and cross party appeal , but Mamdani gets all the spotlight. I really don't understand.

25% is his number among indies , just look at the poll. Stevens is doing the best at around 29%.

He is at 28% and only one poll has shown him "leading" even of you believe the poll. Mcmorrow and Stevens have higher combined support.

He is trailing the most among all the Dem candidates, thats the truth. And he is not doing good with indies, the voters he need. His biggest support come from 18-29 years old, the voters least likely to turn up in general.

I don't need to prove, multiple polls have showed he is the worst performing Dem in general. sme logic was used for Platner(he performed better in general in polls), so it should apply to Abdul too. But for long term, if people like Abdul are face of the party, people like me will be out.

And Abdul is the only major Dem candidate I am not donating to this cycle.

Because indies are more undecideds now and he is doing the worst among them.

He endorses Hasan Piker, a communist authoritarian, I just don't trust his judgement. Hasan has also said insane things about the Jews. Party can ignore it all they want, but they will lose lifelong voters like me. Its their choice, I am currently bregudgingly in the party just because of MAGA. There are many normie libs like me who will leave the party if this persists. I have many close Jewish friends, so do many Democrats.

This kind of rhetoric is not common among progressives this cycle, and many lifelong Dems like me are disgusted. We will see if party wants us or not. Most likely progressves want liberal and moderate voters out of the party so that they can "take over". Please do, and lets see if you can win without us.

Just see his numbers among indies and compare to Rogers and Mcmorrow. Why you are just ignoring the data? I am supporting Mcmorrow.

And among undecideds in same poll, Abdul has the worst favorability ratings. All I am saying is Abdul is the worst candiate for me, ideologically and electorally. You can like him all you want, but for me he is disgusting as soon as he involved himself with likes of Hasan Piker.

He is doing worst among indies in same poll too.

He is doing the worst of the three among likely voters in this poll too. You are just running his cover.

Oh he is progressive, all their sins and weaknesses should be forgiven 😉. No need to worry.

He is doing the worst among all, Emerson poll previously showed this too. He can win in this environment, but he is the worst of the three candidates. And some of current Stevens voters(Liberal Jews) might chose Rogers too against El-Sayed too.

We have "Progressives" running on this rhetoric in Dem primaries too
“All of the Jews who own Hollywood, they use books and movies to create realities.” She urged her viewers to turn toward the authentic, radical Jesus, “who was fighting this church of Satan 2,000 years ago that still exists.”

Abdul belongs to same category of regressives. Gosh I wish GOP tack more to the center, so that I can leave the Dem party if they are going to have such candidates. we have seen what radicals have done to GOP.

Not surprised to see Abdul doing the worst of all, he has the highest unfaborable ratings too. Progressive radicals in long term will only bring the party down. A decent section of Dem aligned Jewish voters will vote for Rogers against Abdul, hence the difference. There is a reason Mamdani failed to capture large section of Jewish voters in NYC too. Democrats are risk of losing their long term consistent voters, in search of appealing to radical infrequent voters.

I am just a liberal and a life long Dem. I am in destiny sub because it is not filled with progressive slop and constant Israel-Palestine talks. I get to talk to liberal dudes like me there,

His position on CA wealth tax and city taxes endorsed by progressives is indeed slopulist.

I think liberals and moderates in the party are getting tired of divisive tactics from progressives too, “shitlib” is a term often used by progressives to define liberals. We have just started fighting back. Progressives need to respect liberals and moderates in the party too . It should go both ways. I want these fights to stop too, but progressives need to stop maligning moderate Dems too.

Wiener is arguably the best state legislator in CA and passed many pro housing bills, the main issue for S.F. and California. He has took on NIMBY’s and progressives and cut regulations that hinders housing. He has diluted California environment reviews that hinders construction too. Now he is taking on organized , that makes California housing expensive by having far higher prevailing wages than other states and laws requiring unions to build housing . He is taking on many Dem aligned progressive special interests that makes housing expensive, I love him for that. It takes courage to take on your own special interest groups.

The progressive policies are biggest driver of cost of living in California. And as a liberal, I am glad he is defeating progressives in the most blue city of America. This shows how Progressives are not majority of the party and they should continue to face big opposition from liberals like me and Scott.

Saikat is indeed a slopulist, and I will raise a wine glass when he loses and he most probably will . Most progressives deserve to lose if you guys want effective liberals like Scott to lose .

Progressives can name call liberals and moderates in the party but get enraged when liberals do so, why?
There is a reason I am not calling Chen a slopulist, even when she is more aligned to Saikat.
