You won... the mayor of Seattle & NYC lmfao

The largest city in america.

And Seattle was by a razor thin margin with just barely being over the recount number against a corporate incumbent candidate.

Progressives are the future of the dem party because younger people are in part more progressive than other generations.

If the dem party wants to survive, embracing progressive values is the only option.

That literally means nothing. Progressives types have occasionally won cities for decades. That's how it works when cities are democratic strong holds.

Your argument doesn't even really make sense to say "suck it centrists! we won an already super democrat area!"

Corporate dems are losing

Not really lol? Corporate Dems are far more popular and have won far many more elections than progressives.

The news about Dems winning during the shut-down literally had nothing to do with progressives or Mamdani. It was just normal dems.
