There is so much in his campaign that Democrats can learn from. 1). Keep it simple. 2). Talk about issues that matter in a way people can understand. 3). Be real, and don't be afraid to be yourself.

Will Ken Martin listen or suppress it? I see what’s coming out of the mouths of some democrats now and it’s not encouraging.

Then we continue to make them listen let’s do exactly what this man did, he walks and talks to New Yorkers we do the same. Not what Republicans and Trump have done lie! We make those elected Democrats listen! They will hear.

Many are still listening to the Democrat older Dem strategist that must change. I am 70yr old David Hoggs scared Elected Democrats instead or listening to his message they outright removed him. Now what they did was a big mistake “yes Mr Hoggs is ruff around the edges but he will learn” some of his words need polishing but core message was spot on Dems now need to work with him because what he brings to the table is Youth, Passion, knowledge to get things done that scared older Dems in Congress unfortunately or Fortunately they are the voting group now.

However add Jasmine C.

AOC

Eric Salwel,

Adam Shiff

Dan Goldman

Young man from Tx that is Dem is a Spit Fire (forget his name)

Al Greene I like him he irritates Trump!! There are others too.

What we as a Party need to do, go back to Kitchen Table items like this young man in Mayor race!!

When we take the House & Senate Trump will do everything to stop it because he knows he will be impeached god willing he’s convicted & Trump name from any & all offices.

Dan Goldman did first impeachment he can do it again.

Washington DC needs cleansing Of MAGA you heard what Senator Tillis said about DC. BIG MONEY OUT OF POLITICS A MUST it’s destroyed Republican party as they catered to BIG Corporations

Leo Leonard and his billionaire Federalist Society needs broken up they are one of the Republicans problem and Billionaires that buy our WH. Why? Easy they want less restrictions on their projects. Flannery Inc, Peter Their all have agendas. Bezos less to no fines, Fed look the other way on his turn space crap same with Musk 4 investigations gone $270mil for Trump was cheaper than fines he would pay for his foreign workers etc

I am sure you’ve seen it.

No matter what happens we must elected all Democrats mid terms DJT will be fighting dirty.

So call your Democratic senators & Representatives tell them we can’t hear them they must fight harder, louder & more

Thanks for reading sorry it’s a long rant. I want more Young people involved

I am around a lot of young 18 - 25 olds some been fib to instead I give them what I’ve seen in both parties Trump has pissed them off with his immigration craziness. They seen it on TikTok they’re angry because they see friends in this crap like the what ifs. They see Republicans do noting in Congress to stop this DJT hates Calif & that

pisses them off.

We need to demand the democratic leadership stop attacking Mamdani. Enough of the ad hominem garbage.

They are not attacking him, as much as they are afraid to support him, which in some ways is even worse because it reveals a refusal to take a stand either way.---Jason

And how would that be different than what Trump does? Or what Dems did in 2016? We need UNITY. Division is what got us where we are today.

I'm just afraid that the Democratic "leadership" and Trump will unite in an ugly attempt to destroy Mamdani. They would rather have Sliwa as mayor than a leftist.

I’d have voted for this man if I lived in NYC! We need more like him. That’s why Trump fears him. An he should be very afraid. I think, hope, our representatives take note

The Democratic party made a terrible mistake backing Andrew Cuomo. They could not have picked worse had they tried. Obviously Mamdani's message resonated, and the establishment dems should not try to undermine him. His message should not be seen as out of the mainstream, and undermining him just plays into Trump's hands.

The DNC would be well to listen to the constituents who voted Mamdani in as their candidate. They should have listened to David Hogg as he was talking about the same types of things. But they did not... so people like David and Zohran and many more young Democrats are going to show the old farts who won't listen to them what the millennial generation is made of and I am all for it.

I have lived my 74 years in NYC and very happy he has emerged from the primary as the appropriate mayor for NYC. Haters will hate but that is incentive to counter that with facts about what will improve life for regular people. The M/Billionaires have redefined greed.

Mamdani is spot on and he calls out Trump perfectly because he’s talking about Trump‘s betrayal of the voters that put him in office. This is why Trump is losing in the polls. I just wish that meant something in the near term instead of for the next election cycle. My deepest concern is that we will no longer have a functioning democracy when the next election cycle is upon us.

It’s nice to see a young man with intelligence and has no fear of trump. He wants to help all New Yorkers. Sick and tired of the useless billionaires that crave attention and think they can take over the government. Why don’t these billionaires stop flaunting what they have when so many are suffering. It’s disgusting when they want to cut Medicare/Medicare so they can get tax cuts. What cuts… they aren’t paying their fare share of taxes.
