| Okay, what did I do wrong? |
Former vice president Kamala Harris and New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani had a private conversation. As the former vice president does a reset and potential 2028 run, the speculation is that she is slowly changing her position on Israel amid the major primary wins of many democratic socialists.
The call reportedly happened last Thursday, just two days after Mamdani-backed candidates flipped three New York congressional seats. Harris wanted to talk about where the Democratic Party is heading and set up a longer discussion later, a source told Axios. The two allegedly have swapped occasional texts for months now.
Zohran Mamdani confirmed the contact with Kamala Harris publicly. Speaking on SiriusXM's The Clay Kane Show, he said, "The vice president reached out to have a conversation. We've had a brief conversation. We've been in touch over the last few months, and I really do appreciate her outreach."
Harris has been methodically working her way through key progressive circles for over a year. She met Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Chicago this April during a Black women's empowerment conference. Her team has also courted leaders from the Uncommitted Movement, the protest effort born from anger over Biden administration policy on Gaza.
Last week, Harris reportedly sat with Abbas Alawieh, an Uncommitted co-founder now pursuing a Michigan state Senate seat. The former vice president has also reportedly spoken with James Zogby, a veteran Democratic National Committee member who champions Palestinian rights.
This comes as Harris sits atop most early 2028 primary polls for White House. She draws rock-star receptions across the South, a region that can decide any Democratic nomination fight. Yet doubts swirl from multiple areas, including left-wing activists, centrist donors, and party insiders who question her general election viability after 2024.
Neither Harris' office nor Mamdani has officially confirmed what the discussions have been about.
Israel is extremely toxic to the Democratic and Republican Party right now.
As the costs are rising, President Donald J. Trump continues to downplay the seriousness by doubting down and making ridiculous claims about the candidates.

| You got to bring an agenda that works for the people who voted for you. |
While many of the wins were centered on the affordability crisis, the shift in foreign policy is constantly being brought up.
Abdul El-Sayed went on Kasie Hunt's The Arena on CNN and it was testy. She constantly dogging him on whether "Israel has a right to exist." El-Sayed flipped the script by saying that no one asks people whether Palestine should exist and said that he is focused on Michigan issues. He said that the billions that are spent for wars could be invested in the state.
Iran has paused talks and warned the U.S. and Israel to not start aggression as the country lays to rest the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran also was tipped by Pakistani intelligence that Israel was plotting a sabotage campaign and assassination attempt.
We got a lot a work to do.
The Republican Party is becoming a bunch of big government nannies who want to push culture wars into federal laws. This overreach will generate backlash due to the hypocrisy they've carried as small government and freedom loving patriots.
First things first, the Democrats must focus on issues that matter to all Americans. The economy for one thing is a big issue. We are witnessing the potential for a catastrophic crash thanks to Trump's tariffs, his fly off the handle policies, the Iran war and the government shutdowns.
If the Democrats are motivated to talk about how the policies of the past are not working, they better start talking now.
Capitalism isn't prospering for the middle class or the lower class. This trickle down economics is not benefiting the working class. The need to be honest about capitalism being a disaster has to be addressed.
The Democratic Party is still supportive of capitalism which is rooted in white supremacy, economic inequality and greed.
The policies the Republican Party are presenting are status quo. They are becoming the big government nannies they tagged the Democratic Party for years as.
Socialism, once a toxic word and a tag on almost every Democratic politician should no longer be a slur. It is time for Americans to understand that the oligarchy that led to wealth inequality is a product of capitalism. We need to equate capitalism to the rise in food prices, health costs, insurance premiums increasing and private equity firms destroying companies.
Israel, Israel, Israel..... When the party support for Israel is a mere 8%, why is the Democratic Party still trying to encourage their voters to support this country?
They're on their knees giving in to Israel and its minions.
As Israel continues to commit a genocide under the guise of a ceasefire, some Democrats and the influncers are calling out the progressive base for moving on from Gaza.
I haven't moved on from Israel. I am laser focused on ensuring Israel will fall. I am seeing the endless attacks on Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, Melat Kiros, Darializa Avila Chevalier and even former vice president Kamala Harris for criticizing Israel.
I get it Harris should face criticism for ignoring the concerns.
I voted for Harris for president. I have told family members that Israel will be a major factor. Trump's near assassination was a big factor. His mugshot too. He tapped into the grievances of the American people.
Democrats wasted too much time scaring voters. I get it. Trump is an essential threat to the country. I posted on this blog numerous times about it. But I also said that Biden's support for Israel and not focusing on the economy could hurt him come 2024.
White men cannot get the U.S. back on the right track. We seen how Trump and Biden led us into endless chaos within their terms. Trump has become the first 21st Century president to never achieve 50% in positive successes. Yet, we reelected him for a second term despite the dangers he posed in his first chaotic term.
White nationalism exists mostly in the Republican Party. But the party is making inroads with Black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim and young voters. Republicans are pitching nationalism and often scapegoating to appeal to these groups.
Democrats are not far off. They are bleeding support because of their so called identity politics. We are screaming racism and antisemitism at the progressive base when the base is trying to encourage the party to change economic direction.
In 2026, we will have candidates running for some form of political office. Several of these candidates will be running as Democrats. Some are flawed people. The Democrats continue to push out candidates that are against the status quo. They are still committed to elected members who are old, supportive of Israel, willing to be bipartisan and willing to embrace conservative policies to stay in office.
The supporters of former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?
First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.
Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.
The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing and invading other countries.
The social media influencers who backed Harris ignored the progressive base and the calls for a ceasefire. They ignored the concerns about banning TikTok and calling everyone who opposes Israel a terrorist. They literally were on the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" mantra.
That shows the "tone deafness" within the party.
It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) fault for Biden and Harris' missteps. She warned them that Arab Americans did not like being ignored.
30% of Biden's 2020 base were disappointed with his stances on Israel. His iron clad support for that apartheid ethnostate harmed his reelection bid and hurt Harris when she took over after he dropped out. Somehow his stupid Catholic faith led him down this road to destruction. Not to mention the nearly $234 million in AIPAC funding.
Democratic establishment influncers are practically on these platforms saying that they ain't helping the former Biden/Harris voters who voted for as Trump. They are zero summing every action by any of the democratic socialist candidates, nominees or active office holders.
Jaime Harrison, former DNC chairman and senate candidate basically told the candidates who ran on democratic socialism to not be a part of the party.
James Carville demanded the top brass put an end to the rise of this movement. He is married to Mary Matilin, a conservative/libertarian pundit.
Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) created a caucus that focuses on status quo politics to appease the swing voters (aka white people).
