Zohran Mamdani is reshaping the Democratic Party faster than anyone expected

Reply in thread

100% is marketing. Mamdani really isn’t doing any policies that progressive Dems at the local level haven’t already done or tried to do.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has damn near an identical policy position as Mamadani, but he’s not promoted by the mainstream media and pundits every week, so the public gives him hell. Holchul literally agreed to absorb NYC’s debt for the entire state to pay off to help Mamdani’s agenda breathe, and the far left still gives her hell, despite her not even having to do that for him.

Politics is deeply unserious today.

It’s almost like Biden got the most votes ever and 2024 was a red wave year. If Mamdani had ran in 2024, he prolly be less than 50%, still a win, but closer. Thats just how elections are. Candidates rarely overperform wave years against their party.

Kamala could run again in 2028, and with a strong Dem wave, could easily break Biden’s margins. It’s not that complicated.

Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?

Trump gained 2% of black men, and lost 2% of black women. He made virtually no gains with black voters.

He gained literally 1% of them. I don’t know where this narrative of trump making massive gains with black people is coming from. All the data suggest at best, a very small gain from 2020 compared to the enormous gains he received with Latinos.
