16. I think his campaign strategy such as knocking on a lot of doors

focusing on economic issues while not abandoning social issues and various things I think the party can learn from especially if they want to win young voters in the future. Also you need to be a bit of an orator to have success and he has that as well.

The party spent a lot of money to try to appeal to young men and Mamdani did well with them but in cities where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a lot the Dem primary is usually the real election but Coumo & Eric Adams are likely to be on the ballot for the general election and I remember what happened in Buffalo 4 years ago so he's not officially mayor yet but do feel the party can learn a lot from his campaign when it comes to turnout & appealing to young voters.

Chuck Schumer ever call him to congratulate him on his primary win? Emile Jun 27 #11

Who cares? I doubt that Mamdami worries about such trivial matters. Why would anyone? Oopsie Daisy Jun 27 #13

So yesterday you gave the excuse he was in Emile Jun 27 #15

Again, jumping to conclusions that are unfounded. It's silly to assume Schumer does not "back democratic candidates" * Oopsie Daisy Jun 27 #17
