The Guardian Story on Working Families Party

Posted on by January 1, 2026

The Guardian has this story about the Working Families Party.  The party has 100 staff members and is now organized in 18 states.  In partisan elections it continues its policy of generally nominating candidates who are also Democratic Party nominees.  But it frequently intervenes in Democratic primaries.  It does run its own nominees in non-partisan elections, and in jurisdictions with limited voting.  Limited voting systems prevent any party from running nominees for all the seats up.

  2. When they say 100 staff members I wonder if that is paid staff or volunteers or some combination thereof.

  5. AZ: I have explained to you the difference between Democratic Socialism and Communism. Mamdani is NOT a Communist.

  6. Stock once again trolling with his bullshit, and arguing with a bot.

    Don’t you have guests to take care of?

  11. Tom: Satanists are not liars. To say they are is repeating a lie started by the Christian superstition.

  12. In reply to those who refuse to use a name:

    I am retired. I am no longer in the workforce. My days of dealing with hotel guests are over for good.

    Mamdani is not instituting collectivism. Mamdani has no plans to end private property. Democratic Socialism seeks gradual reform through the existing multi party legislative framework.

    Communism seeks an immediate overthrow Capitalism, the destruction of the existing legislative structure, and the creation of new governing institutions based on Worker”s Councils.

    The Capotalist American Government has lied about what is Socialism and what is Communism for over 100 years. It is no wonder that so many Americans are clueless.

  13. Stock is such a retard. Mamdani openly said he is a collectivist. Are you too stupid to watch a video?

    Stock is a retarded lying Satanist troll. That is undeniable.

  14. Typo: Capitalist not Capotalist. My big fat fingers often hit the wrong letter on my small phone keyboard.

  15. Mamdani said he is going to govern as a Democratic Socialist. You inserted the false idea that means collectivism.

  16. Mamdani has said that collectivism is better than individualism. I certainly agree with that, but Mamdani is not forcibly taking property from the present owners to give to others. To help with providing housing he is looking at property owned by the City of New York to see if he can build new homes.

  18. Rick: I rent an apartment. But there is nothing in Communism that prohibits home ownership. What is forbidden is owning rental property. There should be no landlords.

    How many people who claim to be Satanists do you know? My guess is that you have never had any contact with any Satanist other than myself. So how can you claim to know what is or is not typical for a Satanist?

  19. Actually communism is anti private property. You are obviously too stupid to even know what you believe in.

    No wonder you were fires from the hotel.

  20. Rick: In the Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels write that Communism means that the Workers own the means of production and the abolition of private property. In the very next sentence they clarify that private property being factories, businesses, and large farms. Personal property like tools, vehicles, or homes would not be abolished. You have been hoodwinked by Anti-Communist Propaganda.

  21. Wrong, you are just a retard who is trying to scam people with your bullshit.

    Room 107 needs attention.

  22. SEE THE ROT/COLLAPSE OF THE OLDE USSR AFTER 1970.

    MODEL FOR NYC ROT/COLLAPSE ???

    NYC CC — 51 RIGGED GERRYMANDER DISTS — VARIOUS COMMIE FACTION DISTS – BLACKS/WHITES — JEWS/MUSLIMS — ETC

  23. AZ: The USSR is not the model for NYC under Mamdani. A better example would be Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the first part of the 20th century.

  24. AZ: With the exception of 8 years, Milwaukee had Socialist mayors from 1910 through 1960.

  25. Milwaukee proper has been a corrupt shithole for over 100 years because of communism. That’s what Stock wants everywhere.

  26. Rick: You can tell your friends in room 107 they will have a long wait. I retired on December 20th 2024. I continued to work part-time until July 4th 2025. What happens at the Motel 6 is no longer my concern.

  28. Not nonsense at all. I’ve been to Milwaukee multiple times. I know the city. It’s corrupt due to communism.

    You are a Satanist trying to fool intelligent people. You can’t fool me.

  29. Ken: The last Socialist mayor of Milwaukee left office in 1960. Whatever you have seen there is the product of 66 years of Capitalism.

  30. I know the history, and no, Milwaukee hasn’t had capitalist mayors. Democrats are communists.

  31. Ken: Democrats are not Communists. The last Socialist mayor of Milwaukee was Anti-Communist. I have explained the differences over and over. You repeating your lies does not make them true.

  32. Here is a verifiable quote from Mamdani in 2021:

    “But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it’s BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel), right, or whether it’s the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.

    “And what I want to say is that it is critical that the way that we organize, the way that we set up our you know, set up our work and our priorities, that
    “

  33. Sorry, cut off too early. Here’s the rest of the quote:

    “…we do not leave any one issue for the other, that we do not meet a moment and only look at what people are ready for, but that we are doing both of these things in tandem, because it is critical for us to both meet people where they’re at and to also organize and organize for what is correct and for what is right and to ensure over time we can bring people to that issue.”

    Was that a clear call for communism?

  34. Helpful Guy:No. I am a Communist and I want a Revolution Now! But I do not see a call to Communism in those words. I see a call for Socialist organizing. I see a person who is working within the present system not a call to overthrow the present system.

  35. Ken: Democrats are communist

    Robert: No, they’re not.

    Me: Yes, they are. As Mamdani makes clear, he and the Demonrats want to ultimately seize the means of production, but they want to boil the frog slowly so it doesn’t jump out of the cooking pot. The frog in this case being US.

    Most demon rats don’t even publicly acknowledge yet that seizing the means of production is their end goal . But, the frog is now boiled enough for the new, bolder generation of young demon rats to acknowledge what they’ve been working toward for the past century or so.

    The Marxist lie is that once they seize the means of production their proletarian dictatorship will operate the means of production on behalf of the workers, and that over time the dictatorship will turn into a stateless utopia where government is no longer needed because everyone is healthy and happy and there’s no more conflict or problems which require government.

    The reality is that under Marxist rule the dictatorship never goes away but turns into a new monopoly capitalist ruling class with zero concern or respect for the rights or opinions of workers and no competition to prevent severe misallocation of resources.

    Mass starvation is the predictable inevitable result.

    Marxist regimes didn’t collapse even faster than they did because they were propped up for decades by black market smuggling of goods from non-Marxist countries, gifts from hypocritical capitalists who support the idea of Marxism, foreign aid from non-Marxist countries, and the fact that they also didn’t fully implement complete end state economic communism.

  36. I think what ODR is saying there is that under commies, regardless of whether they are honest about their ultimate goals or not, and regardless of whether they want to achieve them through armed revolution or incrementally and democratically, the people and the workers that these commies claim to act on behalf of are severely screwed to death en masse.

  37. Helpful Guy is correct. It doesn’t matter whether or not they are honest with us, honest with themselves, or whether they take power quickly or slowly, by armed revolution or by deceiving and manipulation of ignorant voters with nice sounding promises. The end result is the same: we’re all screwed in a way that combines the worst of the Mongolian Clusterf*** and the circular firing squad.

  38. IT’S COMMIE FASCIST JIHADISTS M VERSUS PATRIOTIC LIBERATOR PEACEMAKER LORD AND SAVIOUR DONALD TRUMP.

  39. It smells like dead bodies in here. Commies rented the room by the week and left a pile of dead bodies. It appears they tried to grow their own food using collective farming methods and as a result all started to death.

  41. Communism is not top down. Dictatorship of the Proletariat means the workers have final say. Representatives are elected from the workers and the elected representatives face the possibility of recall from the workers at any time. What you have described is the heresy of Stalin. The USSR then, and China today, have a form of State Capitalism. Neither one is Communist.

    Engels wrote an entire book in 1890 explaining that once a Socialist Society is established it will never be a Utopia. The workers must always be vigilant and struggle against corruption.

    Starvation and atrocities only occur when a Cult of Personality and Entrenched Bureaucracy have shifted the focus from the workers.

  42. Yes, that’s correct. It started as welfare state democratic socialism and escalated pretty quickly to totalitarian Marxist dictatorship and mass starvation. They all drank the kool aid. Or else only wish they died that quickly and painlessly.

  43. Commies always claim that real world commie regimes aren’t truly communist, but socialism is always a failure everywhere it’s ever tried, mitigated only by the extent to which it’s not fully implemented.

  45. It’s amazing how Stock keeps pushing the lie even after being proven wrong. He’s an evil Satanist who sacrifices animals.

  46. When the pilgrims came to America they tried to implement socialism at first, and most of them starved to death as a result. After one or two years of this, they switched to non-communal ownership and farming, and had a productive harvest. That’s how we got Thanksgiving.

  48. Mamdani, aka Imam MommyDoMe, supports city run grocery stores. That’s already been tried in a number of U.S. cities, and has been a total disaster with empty store shelves in each and every one of those. That’s not because of a cult of personality. It’s because socialism is economically ignorant and wrong and always fails because it fundamentally misunderstands economics and human nature.

  49. Even corrupt scumbags like Eric Adams and narcissistic, ass grabbing mass murderers like Andrew the Cuomosexual are better than idealistic young narcissists like AOC and Imam MommyDoMe (or idealistic old narcissists like Burnout Sanders). That’s true even when they really are truly idealistic and not also corrupt.

  50. The unfortunate people of NYC are getting the Mayor they elected, and they’re going to get him good and hard.

  52. You can’t spell TRIUMPH without TRUMP,

    I feel for them. I had to flee similar foolishness in LA, along with many other former Angelenos. Many people, especially job creator’s, will now flee NYC. Some will keep their apartments or homes there but move their corporate offices and domicile addresses (we are talking about people who can afford more than one residence) elsewhere. For those jobs which don’t depend on location, many will move out of NYC – some to suburbs, some to other metro areas. Some businesses will just go out of business. And even a lot of middle class people will move out of NYC.

  53. “Dictatorship of the Proletariat means the workers have final say.”

    In theory, but the reality is always far different.

    “Representatives are elected from the workers and the elected representatives face the possibility of recall from the workers at any time.”

    In theory, but the reality is always far different.

    “Engels wrote an entire book in 1890…”

    Engels, like Marx, never had any track record of real world success for his theories, other than at BSing people into believing them. Unlike Marx, however, he was at least marginally personally competent at capitalist commerce, whereas Marx, like Imam MommyDoMe, was a lifelong overgrown child who couldn’t actually support himself and his family without help from family and friends.

    Another commonality Marx had with Mayor Imam MommyDoMe is their shared hatred of Jews, even though Marx was a Jew himself – a self-hating Jew, that is. While Karl Marx had many things to deservedly hate himself for, being born Jewish wasn’t one of them.

  54. Imam MommyDoMe clearly states that his end goal is to seize the means of production. The only reason he wants to get there gradually and democratically is because armed revolution would fail and get suppressed. He makes it absolutely clear that is his goal.

  56. Mayor Imam MamiDoMe is an African born in Uganda, but at least he’s not a negro like outgoing mayor Eric Adams. The remaining White minority of New Yorkers are therefore less likely to all be massacred during his term like Whites were in Haiti when the negros seized power during the early 1800s.

    White New Yorkers will also probably face less discrimination than Whites in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia), in Uganda under Idi Amin, or in South Africa since the very unfortunate end of their former wise Apartheid policy which kept Whites in power.

    We need White Power for White Survival and to avoid population replacement and White Genocide.

    Looking at basket cases like the Congo, Rwanda, Haiti, and Liberia (founded by negroes from the US who emigrated to Africa) you can see why.

    The new mayor will do everything he can to bring a mix of Marxism and Islamofascism to power, but he probably won’t kill all the White People or cause mass cannibalism. It’s possible that NYC is actually better off today, because those things happen, not infrequently, when negroes are in charge.

  57. Joe = Knapp, as anyone who pays attention or cares (you can count such people on the fingers of one hand) already knows. He’s desperate for attention and trolls himself here and at his own blog for that reason.

  59. I checked out Knapp’s blog because a few people mentioned it here and the jerk censored me. He’s got a happy trigger finger when it comes to jumping to conclusions and censorship. Since he was a dick and a hypocrite I’m done with him.

    It was my first Christmas and New Year’s since my husband passed away and all I wanted was to smile and laugh and have some interesting and intelligent conversations, but he called me a troll, crapped all over me, and censored me for no good reason, then insulted me, mixed me up with some Indian guy, and deleted whatever I said after that point.

    Life is too short to waste it on bozos like him. Screw that guy.

  61. Nobody cares whether or why anyone else is gay unless they’re also gay and trying to hook up or unless they’re a woman who wants to know if a guy she wants to hook up with is gay.

  63. Simon (Knapp) is either posting that copypasta because he’s Knapp and he’s talking to himself as usual, or … Well, that’s the only plausible explanation. He’s conflicted about being gay, experiencing tension between his orientation, upbringing, and social expectations. That is the root cause of his multiple personality disorder and in immature trolling and self-trolling, as well as his general attention seeking behavior, which can best be viewed as a cry for help.

  64. HOW MANY MASS STARVATIONS IN COMMIE REGIMES ???

    CIRCA 1921 IN RUSSIA/USSR [CONNECTED TO 1918-1921 CIVIL WAR] — 1932-1933 IN UKRAINE/USSR

    CIRCA 1958 IN RED CHINA – GREAT LEAP FORWARD TO MASS DEATHS

  73. One thing for sure, the AZ-666 spambot isn’t gay. Spambots have no sexual orientation of any kind and no genitalia.

  76. In the English language, gay means happy, not homosexual. I’m gay because Trump is President of the United States and he’s saving America and making us great again. Thank God for President Trump!

  77. Homosexuals turned “gay” into a euphemism for homosexual, but in reality they have way more suicides than heterosexuals, so they’re probably less happy in general.

  78. I’m bisexual because 3>2 and 2>1. It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that. The more the merrier! Who cares if it’s an innie or an outie? I can work or play with either one or, whenever I can, with both. Like, duh!

  79. President Trump wasn’t just chosen by God to lead US. President Trump IS God! He is quite literally the Second Coming of Jesus! Remember, Jesus always comes twice!

  83. Nobody cares about your YouTube videos, Thomas. Stop you’re attention whoring. We’re not falling for your clickbait and we don’t care where you stick your wick, what you do or don’t like to do sexually or who you do or don’t want to do it with. Keep it to yourself. The thought of you naked and or copulating with anyone is nauseating. Just shut up and go away.

    And yes, it’s obvious that it’s you who keeps bringing yourself here up when you’re not the subject of discussion and completely irrelevant – which is, well, always. Please, get a life, or at least take your desperate begging for clicks and attention somewhere else. Like, anywhere else. Shoo!

  84. Is “is Stock gay” and “Knapp is a loser” Knapp? Is he gay? Is he a loser? Yes, yes, and yes. Is he trying to hook up with Stock? Probably. Is he going to succeed? Probably not. Does anyone else want to see or hear about it either way? Not only no, but hell no.

  86. Why are the immature people here so immature, if they are in fact adults? My best guess is that it’s due to psychological regression due to unresolved trauma stemming from being sexually, physically and psychologically abused when they actually were underaged.

  88. You’ll never get enough clicks to monetize YouTube. And spamming you’re utube links here won’t change that . All you’re going to do is annoy people even more. Please stop.

  89. Former Venezuelan narcoterrorist dictator Maduro is on a ship to New York. Why NY? Wouldn’t Florida or El Salvador make more sense?

  90. Can we do an exchange and send mayor Imam MommyDoMe to Venezuela? Or better yet SEND THEM BOTH TO CECOT ?!

  91. Imam MamiDoMe and his demon rats want the means of production to be seized. That’s a fact. Because they can’t do it immediately through revolution (that would get crushed) they’re implementing it gradually and electorally.

    Mamidome made it clear in 2021 that any incremental steps they take in the meantime are on a parallel track with working towards their ultimate goal of seizing the means of production.

    That has been the demon rat goal all along. It took a century of welfare state mixed economy, drug biochemical warfare, destruction of the family, population replacement, forced race mixing, miseducation, propaganda infowar, agenda driven infotainment, forced secularization, feminazification, gender bender agenda, globalism, and the rest of their evil agenda working together to chip away at and undermine the foundations of our civilization and culture to the point that they are now freely, publicly starting to admit that seizing the means of production is their ultimate goal.

    They are not yet ready to admit in public that an islamoluciferian global totalitarian panopticon dictatorship prison planet forever is their ultimate goal. You have to do some digging but that’s not completely secret either.

  92. That was always the goal of the luciferian illuminati “enlightenment” all along. Marxism and Fabianism are two of its many tools. Lucifer was the angel of light who chose to rule in hell rather than serve in heaven, and he has schemed to take the Earth’s surface from God for about 6,000 years now, ever since his fall from Heaven which took place soon after the creation of the universe.

    Lucifer was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. He sent his demons among us ever since. Global communist totalitarian dictatorship would never lead to individual freedom. That’s just a satanic scam sales job. It would be complete, utter tyranny forever. The whole world would be part of hell, with no hope, no justice, and no freedom for anyone ever.

    Democratic socialism, Islamic jihad, narcoterrorism, welfare statism, globalization, race mixing, population replacement, gender bending, the abortion holocaust, pornography, artificial intelligence, liberalism, the “enlightenment,” globalism, destruction of traditional family values, destruction of the family, secularization, Marxism, fabianism, vulgarity, jungle music, sexualization of children, divorce culture, birth control, abortion holocaust,cultural feminization and gender bending, and many other things combine to bring that about.

    The promise of freedom and enlightenment is a con. The light at the end of the tunnel is actually the fires of hell.

  94. That was a nice knee slapper, Paul. America was actually founded on genocide of natives, slavery, enslavement of women, racism, sexism, patriarchy, rape culture, exploitation of workers by capitalists, sweat shops, company stores, pinkerton guards, imperialism through military conquest and occupation, colonialism, forced religious cultural conversion, child rape and exploitation, wage slavery, hoodwinking of consumers, cis-heteronormativity, environmental destruction, abuse of animals, and the list goes on.

    Basically, the destruction, raping, looting, pillaging, extortion, murder, humiliation, scamming, exploitation and despoilation by a small faction of the population – rich, white, cisheteronormative (straight or straight-acting) men professing their Abrahamic patriarchal superstitions of everything and everyone and anything and anyone that wasn’t them.

    Whatever they paid lip service to justify it – their bible, the white man’s burden, protecting the “weaker sex,” liberal 18th century “enlightenment” ideology, “free” markets, “progress,” etc, etc, was just lipstick on a pig – phony excuses before, during and after they did whatever was in their perceived short term self interest to make themselves and their victims feel better about it and keep revolution at bay.

    That whole disgusting pyramid built on a mountain of lies, twisted skulls, broken bones, rivers of blood and tears…it’s all going to come down within 5-50 years in a global intersectional revolution.

  100. Ed: I don’t know about Knapp, but I am 5’8 and 195 pounds. I would like to lose about 20 pounds, but it’s been difficult.

  101. Ed: As far as being retarded or not. The last IQ test I had at school recorded my IQ as 128.

  102. Communism is a symptom of retardedness. You are retarded.

    Knapp is also a communist troll retard.

  103. Robert: you are talking to a spambot and a troll.

    AZ is a spambot. It’s not human. It doesn’t care what arguments anyone makes against it. It will just execute its programmed subroutines and scream the same slogans and fake news long after we are all dead, into the void, long after English – to the extent that it’s gibberish resembles English – becomes a dead language.

    The troll which keeps accusing you of trolling under fake names is trying to get a rise out of you. If you’re responding, he’s winning. Why is the troll so immature? Most likely, psychological regression causes by being molested as a child, resulting in arrested development. That is, if he’s not an actual child.

    That being said, communism actually is stupid. Details as to why are already above. It’s a giant con game, and you fell for it. You also fell for a spambot and a troll, so your 128 IQ just demonstrates that IQ doesn’t measure common sense.

  105. NM: the troll here is obviously Knapp, which we know because he keeps promoting his obscure blog as if people here know or care about it and whatever dumb stuff he says there. He also wants everyone to know that he’s gay because he’s trying to find other gay guys to have cybersex with and maybe hook up with in person at some point.

    Robert is probably also gay because he’s telling Knapp his height and weight. He already gave out his age and location. Hopefully, they take it to private chat before they started discussion of what they are wearing, their penises and buttocks, and what they want to do to each other.

    As a corrections officer in Colorado, I have to deal with this sort of gay behavior among inmates, so it’s not hard to recognize.

  106. CO:

    In the English language, gay means happy, not homosexual. Homosexuals started the propaganda campaign that they are gay. In reality, they have much higher suicide rates than normal heterosexuals. Using “gay” to mean homosexual may be gay, but it’s not being realistic.

  108. NM is right. I agree. CO is probably right also.

    UT is obviously gay. AZ is a spambot. The troll with multiple names is Knapp. That stems from being molested, which he admitted to.

    Stock is not a troll, but he has a history of falling for cults and scams like Jehovah Witnesses, Randroids, Marxists, spambots and trolls. He has a high IQ, but a developmentally challenged bullshit detector.

  110. No. Nobody cares if he is or not, other than that we’d rather not know. Same as with Knapp. Go back in the closet and stay there.

  112. Giving my height and weight was a joking response to the question about whether Knapp or myself was the “bigger” retard.

    Stating my IQ was in response to the charge of my being retarded.

    And no, I am not gay. I am attracted to adult women.
