Here's how it will help. Jeffries sees enough Democrats telling him "get with the fucking program
and support the Democratic candidate in public", and then he will support the Democratic candidate in public. And that way, centrist Democrats in NYC will say "hey, if Jeffries is OK with Mamdani, maybe I should be too", and then they'll vote for him.
See? Party cohesion is the goal here. It's nothing at all like "both parties are the same" - it is "every Democrat should support the Democratic candidate, who is nothing like the Republicans". Everyone here does have scorn for the Republicans. The problem is that Adams does not, and Jeffries is wasting his time by praising Adams, when he could be supporting a Democrat instead.
