Trump-Mamdani













"I told the president that so much of the focus of our campaign has been on the cost of living crisis. And when we asked New Yorkers who had voted for the president...came back to the same issue, cost of living, cost of living, cost of living."

That is an example of what makes Democratic Socialists of America so effective: they focus on the issues that are important to voters. They are pragmatists, they are not in the ether of theory. 

"Too often politicians are looking to lecture to New Yorkers about what they should care about rather than listen. And when we spoke to those voters who voted for President Trump, we heard them speak about cost of living. We focused on that same cost of living."

See?
