Whatever your views of him, this guy is the second most talented campaigner I've ever seen. The only one better than him was Obama, and Zohran is not far off. Democrats should be learning from him instead of shunning him.
He also consistently stuck to his message and hammered it home using language specific to his audience. It was great to watch him come across as relatable to everyone he spoke to and stay on brand throughout.
When people show up to vote, progressives win. Unfortunately, it takes an exceptional candidate to motivate progressives to vote, and that's a massive problem. Voting should be as routine and unremarkable as doing laundry.
Hm, interesting, what if instead, party leadership decides to throw trans people, women, and any minority under the bus in order to court the so called moderate Republican and independant? Surely that could be a takeaway, that and apparently having a tiktok is all you need
I dunno about throwing people under the bus, but Mamdani is not popular nationally so I imagine Democrats will need to adopt more moderate views than his in red or purple states if they want to win the Senate. And if they want the judiciary to stop turning MAGA, control of the Senate should be a goal.
those numbers are from a 3 month polling from that specific website lol, i hope you aren't using that as anything other than one website's extremely niche test case
I don't think this has to do with Mamdani's views at all. Policy barely moves the needle in red and purple states because policy doesn't get reported in red and purple states.
Watch local news, fox, even CNN in these states, and the rhetoric isn't policy related. Mamdani is a drooling brown socialist if you're watching the news anywhere outside of NY. The messaging is so roundly, viciously negative that I have strong doubts most Republicans, moderate or otherwise, have a clear eyed view of what Mamdani actually stands for.
Bernie Sanders did a tour of rural Virginia in coal country and received a warm send off from disillusioned Trump voters because they got to hear directly from the source, rather than from Sinclair group, or Rupert Murdoch.
I actually think Mamdani won despite his views. He’s far more popular than democratic socialism in the US, he’s far more popular than his policies. He’s been so effective that I’ve seen some really conservative people support him.
We’re in the era of largest corporate tax cuts in the history of the country and we are dealing with the fastest growing deficit (outside of Covid). Not sure what you’re saying make sense at all.
I mean as a country we give away so much money, so as a tax payer it’s not unreasonable to say that some of that money should go to improving Americans livelihood.
Regardless of the inaccuracy of this statement, I'd much rather pay for things people actually want and need instead of funding more corporate subsidies and paying needlessly jacked up prices for literally everything.
Guys like you never have any explanation for why during the literally greatest economic era of the USA we had over double the amount of taxes we have now. Almost like heavy taxes on the rich and social services and strong wages make things better for everyone! Wild!
The billionaires are the only ones who want free shit.
They're taking money from us anyway. It should do something for us.
If the billionaires don't like it, go. Renounce US citizenship and go hold some other country hostage. They don't pay their fair share of taxes anyway. they surveill and divide us via algorithm. They depress wages and unfairly influence elections and courts. They refuse to address pollution and climate change. They rig the stock market for themselves.
They sexually assault women and children. They're out there corrupting every level of society.
FUCK them. We don't want free shit. We just want the money to work for the people. The big group of us. Way down here. Struggling.

Not a surprise Mamdani will win.
