Yet another study confirms what we already know: economic populism is the only way for Democrats to win working-class voters.
“But our corporate donors”
That’s what makes it complicated, nothing else. DINOs keeping their own pockets lined.
When a 3rd party actually wins, and the Democrats vecome the 3rd option, i wonder - where will the donors go?
They are SO Complicated! As a Democratic Strategist it’s HARD Balancing how to WIN the MAGA Voters who would literally Rather Die then to VOTE Democrat and also PISS OFF the Democratic Voters who are angry with Us!
Good thing the new chair of the DNC agrees…
And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.
And to the point, Democrats need to stop trying to convert Maga voters. They need to focus on the non-voters who are disillusioned with a system that doesn’t serve them. And what do they have to do? Just like Mamdani is doing: do what the people want. They’ll shower are you with votes and money.
He’s 6 months into the role and he’s only been doing neoliberal things since his first day in office.
