Despite whatever propaganda its corporate state media allies push out, the Democrat Party’s current crop of so-called leadership and its bench is laughably weak — one of the reasons that no leader has emerged after the Karamel-uh entity collapsed into a black hole under the pressure of her own American Psycho-esque vacancy.

The same fate befell disgraced governor Andrew Cuomo recently, a political dinosaur who ran basically the same playbook at Karamel-uh and suffered the same fate at the hands of a non-native Muslim Marxist 33-year-old who wants state-run grocery stores.
How did this happen?
Steve Bannon doesn’t get the credit he deserves, in my view, for orchestrating Trumps victory in 2016 or for the finger on the MAGA pulse that he’s maintained since — which is why he was the first one in the purge crosshairs of the Deep State goblins who infiltrated the first administration.
If I were ever to very hypothetically run for office in a parallel universe, and I had the pick of the litter of strategists, Bannon would be my guy.
He recently offered his take on Mamdani and his watershed victory in New York, which boils down to “he can bring people out.”
Via Financial Times (emphasis added):
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old American Muslim, came from nowhere to trounce the Democratic grandee, Andrew Cuomo, as Democratic nominee for New York’s mayoral race.
Mamdani’s triumph is the sharpest jolt to the Democrats since Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris last November. What is the meaning of Mamdani, I ask Bannon. I add that Mamdani’s diagnosis of New York’s affordability crisis sounds quite similar to Bannon’s description of America’s. The two seem to agree on 70 per cent. “Fifty per cent,” Bannon corrects. “That’s still a lot.”
Such as what? “Politics today is all about authenticity,” he replies. “Mamdani’s campaign was today’s equivalent of Barack Obama’s. He was walking down grocery aisles chatting on TikTok.” He accepted every interview request and relied on grassroots organising. Cuomo had name recognition, his campaign raised almost $40mn and secured Bill Clinton’s endorsement. His appearances were curated.
“The traditional Democratic party is dead,” Bannon says. “Mamdani blew it up.” Do you share the conservative view that an unabashed socialist and supporter of the Palestinian cause is a gift to Trump? Bannon shakes his head. “You shed more tears for answered prayers than unanswered prayers,” he replies. “Mamdani can bring people out . . . Populism is the future of politics.”

If you will indulge a bit of revisionist history, it’s my belief that, had Trump been up in 2016 not against Hillary Clinton but against Bernie Sanders, from whom the DNC indisputably stole the nomination, he very possibly would not have won and America’s trajectory would have been radically, if you’ll pardon the pun, different.
Don’t take my word for it; Trump’s own pollster said so in 2017, and Trump himself, who has excellent instincts for what the electorate wants, conceded numerous times that Sanders would have been a formidable opponent.
Eric Adams, seemingly the only one standing between Mamdami and the mayoral office, is a piss-poor politician who somehow slithered into office by sheer luck and cravenness to special interests (being a minority didn’t hurt either).

Adams’ brilliant strategy appears to be simply denouncing Mamdami as a “socialist,” as if that will be enough to defeat him.
It won’t; to win in 2025, you have to offer a vision of the future to Americans who feel they have no future.
Platitudes don’t work anymore.
You might have thought these plastic politicians and the consulting class might have changed tack at some point, but they don’t have it in them.
