An ideologue?

The Democratic party, my party, is desperate to find someone to lead us out of the wilderness so that we can win again, hopefully in 2028. I think the party has grabbed hold of Zohran Mamdani in that desperation because even as an almost unknown he did so well in the primary. I'm worried he's just the wrong guy to save us.

An example ... in my internet travels today, I came upon a 2021 interview with Mamdani from a Young Democratic Socialists of America Conference. It gives a view of his political priorities ...

Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City. That's a pretty tough challenge, if he even makes it. I just don't think he's ready for anything higher. Especially since he has some baggage.

I agree, but on the news shows I watch, like on MSNBC, they are really touting him as the messiah who will save us from the Republicans, if his strategy can be replicated. I don't think they care about his baggage. Fortunately, he can't run for president.
