This is The Recipe to Defeat the Oligarchy and MAGA

The recipe and message to defeat the oligarchy and regain the majority have been revealed by Zohran Mamdani and AOC, but is the Democratic establishment listening and willing to adapt?

Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Family Party, might have discovered the secret sauce for Democrats to regain the majority and defeat Trump and the oligarchy. The questions remain: does the Democratic Establishment want the answer, and will they listen?

So far, it seems like it’s a big fat, “No and Nope!”

The Working Families Party organizes outside the two parties, and then “recruits and trains people-powered candidates up and down the ballot and runs them to win.”

Just look at the ascendancy of Zohran Mamdani in NYC as an example. The Working Families Party helped Mamdani build a multi-racial and multi-religious grassroots coalition to win over a majority of voters by laser-focusing on a single issue: affordability. They worked with him on grassroots campaigning, knocking on doors, and lifting up all communities, especially “the woke” and workers.

Despite the establishment’s attempts to throw Bill Clinton, the New York Times, pro-Palestinian chants, and the kitchen sink at Mamdani, nothing seems to be working, and Mamdani is on the verge of being elected as New York City’s next mayor.

He helped himself by remaining consistent in speaking out for workers and speaking out against the oligarchy. His campaign is asking the following questions: Why should the rich get richer and the majority beg for scraps? Why can’t New Yorkers have affordable rent? Why do we need billionaires, and if they must exist, then why do they get all the tax cuts?

Bernie Sanders also campaigned on these issues, as did AOC, and both have attracted Trump voters. However, Democratic leaders, such as Senator Schumer and Rep. Jeffries, have yet to endorse Mamdani. Several Democratic elected officials also decided to take a photo with war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu last week, even though the polls reveal that the Democratic base has become extremely critical of Israel’s war and occupation.

Mitchell joined me to discuss Mamdani’s secret recipe and how it can and should be replicated by those who wish to defeat Trump’s fascist regime and uplift workers who are increasingly unable to reach the elusive “American Dream.” We also discuss how the Democratic Party is in for a rude awakening similar to the Tea Party Revolution in 2014 and how Trump is extremely vulnerable now as a result of the Epstein scandal and his policy failures.

Give us a watch and get inspired to run for local office!
