   Establishment Democrats worked overtime to oppose progressive upstart Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral primary race
   — and yet, claim to be baffled over why the Democratic Party is losing support, freshly ousted Democratic activist David Hogg said in a fiery post on Monday.
   “The same establishment that is spending millions to destroy Zohran will say in a few months that we need to spend millions on polling and testing to win back young people.
   Open your god damn eyes — it’s free,” Hogg wrote, the day before the primary election on Tuesday.
   Indeed, like most major left-leaning candidates in the U.S., Mamdani is no stranger to attacks from establishment politicians and their donors.

     there are many young Dems who are doing things right and they need all the support we can give them

     Hogg is not one of them

     @cdarwin A very tiny number of (old-school, irrelevant) Democrats are publicly saying anything negative about Mahmani. But Hogg wants to start a fight over it?

     The DNC dodged a bullet. This guy is trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A feel-good moment, likely to push the party to the left, and he tries to turn people against each other instead… 🤦
