This says it all: While some centrists may be a bit frightened by it all, Cuomo’s campaign—or, at least, part of it—was impressed. Neal Kwatra, an adviser to Cuomo, said that Mamdani “exuded authentic empathy, toughness and true solidarity in ways most people just talk about.”

Hopefully this is true. I am a tail end boomer and I am so sick of my generation sitting there hogging all the Senate and House seats. Anyone who’s over 60 really needs to go because they simply don’t have the chops to move quickly enough to parry all the BS that’s coming out of the Trump administration. We need new tactics, younger people that have come up in the generation of smart phones and viral videos. They can be more authentic in many ways, even though some of their videos are staged, than the old people that can’t even press the video button on their phone.
I have ZERO confidence with the newly elected head of the DNC. He is definitely in the mold of the old way of doing things and does not have the capabilities IMO that we need to stand up and start pushing back. He’s been in his chair position since February and hasn’t done jack to get the ball moving and our tent has been shrinking significantly.
I totally concur. Those who are coming up from the grass roots just like this young man, are an inspiration, whatever their lean, whatever their vision as long as it is for the people. I hope more of this continues....and I think it is. Time for us to step aside.
