Mamdani

I'm going to assume, for sake of argument, that the next election will be mostly honest and honored. Not a fake.

In the 31 American states keeping track of newly registered voters, Republicans are out-registering Democrats in 31 states out of 31. 

Polls show that Trump is unpopular, the Republican party is unpopular and the Democratic party is the most unpopular. 

Why are the Democrats failing? And why don't they care more? 

The party leaders, centrists from the last century, focus on keeping control of the Democratic Party, a cash cow.  To do that leaders believe they have to squelch AOC  and other young representatives of the center-left. 

As things stand the Democratic Leaders offer thin oatmeal. They promise to fight climate change but not enough to matter. They sent just enough arms to Ukraine to keep Ukraine slowly retreating. Democrats let Israel starve Palestinians. They saw to it some but not all Americans have health care. 

In the NYC race for mayor, Zohran Mamdani argues for free bus rides and so on, and he's now the leading candidate. He plans to give ordinary people help. It's certain that some of his ideas won't work (see FDR). But some will. 

The limping Democratic leaders are throwing a fit, calling Mamdani a pinko. Maybe he can show Democrats how to win.
