The democratic party is on a path.
Can continue to push policies to keep a broken and targeted economic and political system and ignore the pain of 60% of Americans living in paycheck. It can be returned to dreams of a younger generation, if we do not change that system, most likely to be worse than their parents.
It can continue to depending upon billionaire donors and out-of-touch campaign consultants and spend huge amounts of money on dumb 30-second ads that fewer and fewer people respond to.
It can be ignored the terrible reality that millions of Americans have lost democracy because they do not see their government understanding their struggles and realities in their lives or doing anything.
Or it can learn the lesson that the Zohran Mamdani The campaign taught us on Tuesday.
And so:
Have the courage to resolve real economic and moral issues facing most of our people, working hard for families for working families for working families for working families Families working for families working for working families for working families for working families for working families for working families for working families For families working for families working for families working for families working for families working for working families.
Some may say that Mamdani’s victory is just about style and the fact that he is a charismatic candidate. Yes. He is. But you don’t get a winning Mamdani with no extraordinary weeds ACTING that unites his surroundings together. And you didn’t get that movement and thousands of enthusiastic people knocking on doors without an economic agenda telling the needs of those who worked. The people of New York and all Americans understand that, in the world’s richest country, they do not have to fight every day just to put food on the table, pay their rent. These are people who don’t know democratic consultants.
Mamdani is criticized for his “radical” and “unrealistic” economic policies:
Associated, at a time of unpredictable income and justice of wealth, the rich and large corporations began to pay their equal part of the tax.
Wish that, if many New Yorks are no longer able to find the cheap house, there must be a freezing of hiring.
Asked to be, if commuting a job has a large toll from a worker’s salary, public transportation should be free.
Asked to be, if many sorted income and workers who cannot access good quality food for themselves and their children, the owned of neighborhood grocery should be done.
These ideas, and more, not radical. They may not be what billionaires prefer, the campaign adminmators and wants the speculators on the ground, but they are the likes of workers. And maybe, maybe, it’s time to listen to them.
Mamdani’s victory is not about “Star Power”. People are most powerful, about revising democracy and door opening for ordinary people to control decisions that affect their lives.
Important, he has not fled from the moral issue that bothers millions in New York and throughout the country: The people of the Sprirthmim in Gaza stopped by Gaza and their children are hungry. Mamdani understood that antisemitism was an abomination and dangerous ideology, but it was not antisemuntic to be critical of non-governmental governments in Netanyahu.
Mamdani’s campaign lesson is that it is not good to be critical of Trump and his harmful policies. We must bring a positive vision and an assessment of why things are the way they are. It is not good to keep a status quo that has failed most Americans. At one time where hope is in a more convenient supply, people need to have a meaning that if we work together to make the best world – a world economic, social, racial equity.
The present democratic leadership of the Party can learn Mamdani campaign lessons? Maybe not. Too many of them are more captainers in a titanic sink, instead of changing the course.
Then again, it doesn’t matter what they think. The establishment drives everyone who they have against Mamdani – millions of super pac money, endorsements from “important people”, an enemy media – and they are still lost.
The future of democratic parties cannot be determined by current leadership. It will be judged in the working class in this country. Increased, people know that our political system is corrupt and that billionaires should not buy elections. They understand that we should not have an unspeakable level of income and inconsistent justification; that we cannot be the only rich country that does not guarantee everyone’s healing; that we cannot deny young people in the right to a higher education because of their income; that we do not have to have a significant cheap house crisis; that we should not have a minimum wage as a hungry period; That we cannot allow corporations illegally to prevent union organization – and many, more.
American people start to stand up and fight back. We see that in many fuss events in the oligarchy we’ve made around the country taking a lot of hits. We see that with millions of people come out for nonrehan rali in this month in almost all states. And yesterday, we saw that in the Democratic Primary in New York City.
We will continue. And no one could stop us.
