A liberal New York political club declined to endorse the Zohran Mamdani-backed candidate for New York’s 13th Congressional District, socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, following a “spirited meeting” in which Chevalier refused to condemn Hamas.
“We usually support the younger, more progressive candidate,” Broadway Democrats wrote in its Thursday newsletter.
“But we cannot do this in the 13th District Congressional race, and it is not a close call. That is because … at our own endorsement meeting, when asked to condemn Hamas and its October 7th attacks, [Chevalier] point-blank refused, turning the question into yet another attack on Israel.”
@tony_tweets1@DeepNotShallow Well documented by whom? Nothing you cited is a demand for ethnic cleansing. Its fascinating that whenever I get into a discussion on this topic on X, its an anonmyous account and they cite the exact same screenshot without attribution. Must be AI.
@DeepNotShallow Her statements that the murder of innocent people is "inevitable" due to something that they have no control over is ignorant. Makes sense that she would get along with the guy that justified 9/11.
@DeepNotShallow Melat should take some time to live in Denver and get to know the community she wants to represent. Her comments are disqualifying and show a lack of nuance around a complicated issue.
@DeepNotShallow Again, you failed to address the fact that Melat has not been present in the community at all before this run. Its an important point that I haven't seen addressed.
I think you are referring to that video with different camera angles,seemed like a tap on the shoulder, at worst.
@DeepNotShallow It is difficult to argue that Diana does not support medicare for all. That has been a line of attack from the Kiros campaign and its simply untrue.
@BedoyaUSA Not how Colorado's caucus system works. This reflects the will of 1,453 party activists . There are 3.1 million eligible voters in this primary that had no idea this vote even took place.
