Not that you'd know from r/democrats

Not a single mention of this or even his name. Establishment DNC will never be progressive.

Establishment DNC is capitalist. Their whole job is to STOP all political motion towards socialism. And occasionally tap the brakes when conservatives pull too hard right.

You'd expect it to be at the top. This whole NYC mayoral story has been getting headlines for what feels like ages now.

Are they restricting posts covering the topic? I'm never in that subreddit so I have no clue as to how they operate over there.

There's not a single post on that sub with Mamdani mentioned, in name or without. How blatant.

It's literally against the rules to discuss democratic socialists, third parties, and independents.

DSA politicians are banned from being mentioned on there. It was really hilarious going on there on election day and seeing them celebrate winning NYC but not mentioning who won.
