Democrats are benefiting from the sour mood of the country and Trump's hopefully temporary disastrous poll numbers, but the chances that they could ride a Blue wave this fall are diminishing, and their long-term prospects still look horrendous.

There's a simple reason for that: the median Democrat is very left-wing already, but the most active "Democrats" are full-blown communists who openly hate America, want to destroy it, and who love criminals and illegal aliens with the passion that Scott Weiner feels when he sees a young boy in assless chaps.

Everybody is rightly focused on Mamdani's success in the New York Primaries, but if the Mamdani wave were simply a reflection of his political skills being the right fit for the "commie corridor," the problem would be annoying, but not actively dangerous to the Democratic Party brand across the country.


But what's even more interesting...
But it's not true that this is a New York City Problem, and even a New York City problem is bigger than it would first appear. After all, New York City is the power base for the (nominally) two most powerful Democrats in the country, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and they got their rear ends handed to them. The establishment is defenseless.

Trump decapitated a lot of democrat party dark money with the shuttering of USAID (funneled tons of money into left wing groups, who then dutifully worked to elect democrats and leftists in other countries) and ActBlue, which has been enabling campaign finance fraud for decades. One is now gone and the other is facing serious questions about its future.

The democrat party has always been fraudulent in the sense that its members rarely take concrete stands on issues, rarely act on principle, and can never actually point to the intellectual center of gravity of their party. It's always been vague slogans and virtue signaling...but neither of those are actual stated principles.

The DSA? Oh, they have principles - horrid ones that are borderline if not flat-out evil, but they believe...and they've been supplanting the regular democrats on both coasts.
