Despite his decisive primary victory and impressive campaign, many Democratic lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading baseless lies and smears in the process.

      It is an actual concept??!?!

      I have been calling it the ratchet effect for years (because it is a ratchet).

      Just happy to see someone else calling it that.

      Yep, I keep this picture to share anytime people want to talk about how Democrats are the good guys.

        Oh yeah, I’ve posted it before now and it makes some people really angry. It seems to be a very common idea that third party voters are somehow worse than Trump voters, as though the Democratic Party somehow have a right to all non-fascist votes.

          Well, I’m glad Mamdani won in NYC and zionist liberals can finally put to rest the need to vote straight ticket Democrat.
