that was also partly responsible for his own win. (helped of course by the corruption of Adams and the sleaziness of Cuomo)

Someone like Mamdani can bring people to consider a candidate, but the candidate has to make the actual "sale".

It seems that urban centers are moving to democratic socialists. Living in Burlington, Vermont, I remember a rabbi mentioning that Bernie Sanders, a good friend of his, should mention FDR rather than Denmark, Sweden etc.

With affordability being an ever larger issue for all but the top 1 percent, we could, especially in the high cost cities, be in somewhat similar times to the times when FDR and his people worked to create a safety net for vulnerable people.

It may be that people like Mamdani are a revision back to the policies of FDR.
