We just watched an extremely local election in which two men (Mamdani and Sliwa) focused entirely on the city of New York, whereas everyone else focused on nationalizing (Trump, Kamala, trans, etc) or even globalizing (Israel) it. The results make it clear who was right. So going forward I have zero interest in further nationalizing this or wondering about Mamdani-type candidates elsewhere. I don't even know what that means. Because if you just mean a leftist then that's going to look very different in...Pennsylvania. We know what it looks like in Minnesota: DFL, Walz, etc. So the point shouldn't be where will the next Mamdani be. The question is what does the farther left candidate look like, under acceptable parameters within each state. And is that candidate actually good at politics (like Mamdani) or not? Because Omar Fateh just showed you what being bad at politics looks like in Minnesota, which isn't afraid of socialism or worker parties.
Republicans are gonna keep trying to nationalize this, call random politicians "the new Mamdani" and guess what. It won't work.
I also expect democrats to focus much more on affordability. I've said it before but I don't care whether it's Mamdani style or abundance. You need to talk about costs and DELIVER. With specific plans. While attacking Trump, tariffs, inflation, etc nonstop. That's the blueprint. All this other shyt does not matter. Including trans shyt. I would compare those culture war issues to having a girlfriend. When things are going well she doesn't care if you forget to fold the socks. When things are going bad she cares a lot when you forget to fold the socks. It becomes something for her to needle you with. A metaphor for you not doing the little things in our relationship and oh you can do xyz but you can't fold the socks??? Give the American people a good economy, lower prices, lower housing costs etc and they'll gladly ask Hunter Schafer what her pronouns are.
alright, when i said "you". i meant progressives. not you personally
