After last night’s anti-Trump blowout, Democrats with political aspirations coast to coast now absolutely understand two things:
(1) The way to further winning is to run on average-guy affordability issues, which is to say mimic Zohran Mamdani‘s campaign minus the free buses (because we don’t want any smelly, urine-stained bums riding the buses in the afternoons and early evenings); and…
(2) Totally abandon woke identity politics in all its forms, and that especially means throwing the trans issue (including gender-affirming care) under the bus. Just dump that identity shit while embracing affordability issues…simple.
I love (a) Mamdani’s quick mind and smile, (b) his considerable rhetorical skills, (c) the fact that he had the balls to mention Eugene Debs and Fiorello LaGuardia last night (I 100% guarantee that the vast majority of Millennials and Zoomers who voted for Zohran have NEVER HEARD of Debs or LaGuardia), and (d) the fact that he’s a couple of years younger than my two owns, Jett and Dylan.
