@iju@mastodon.social @anildash@me.dm "its not wrong..."
Yes it is. The general public is tired of it. Part of Trump's appeal in 2016 was the way he spoke from outside the system. Unfotunately, he also used strong Us vs. Them language, breeding a whole new type of tribalism that's even worse than party loyalty. Democrats need to create the same type of out-of-party appeal, but do it in a way that attracts an actual majority. I fear Mamdani has labeled himself in a way that leaves too much room for tweetsploitation.

@Caveman1226@mastodon.social @anildash@me.dm Public being tired of something isn't the same that something is "wrong". Compare: it's not wrong to launch a sodapop that tastes like a broccoli. Might not be smart, but not wrong. In this case the Mamdani's strategy seems to have worked. Can't argue with success.
