Democratic voters are looking for fighters. Mamdani is Magats' worst nightmare, a progressive populist with charisma who fights like hell.

Chuck Schumer has a history of kneecapping the majority of Congressional Democrats, he did it back in March when he gave a handful of Senators permission to kill the filibuster to enable Magats to pass the CR. That isn't conjecture, or a lie. The vast majority of Democrats wanted to take a stand back in March before Krasnov's Big Ugly Death Bill became law.

Back in March Senator Schumer caved, gave Krasnov everything he wanted and got absolutely nothing in exchange, quite the negotiation.

If a handful of Democrats cave and vote for a clean CR without getting subsidies for Obamacare, the Kaiser Family Foundation said that 50,000 Americans will die. I don't know why Democrats don't just say that?
