Let me ask a different question. What do you think Dem leadership should be doing? And by leadership, I mean Schumer, Jeffries, and whomever you think qualifies as leadership. I recognize that all of them are constrained in what they can do, since we are the minority party in Congress.
However, I don't think we should be validating GOP talking points, and I feel like the main strategy being deployed by leadership is the Carville doctrine, which is to sit back, do nothing, and let the GOP implode and destroy their own brand. I think this is shortsighted.
I don't think this gives Americans a reason to resist, or to vote Dem. I think people like Mamdani have the right msg, and tho leadership endorsed Mamdani's msg, including Jeffries, I feel like thy are validating too many GOP talking points. I'd rather they say nothing than to undermine Mamdani
On NYC, Cuomo represents everything wrong w/Dem party in general. On cities, Pritzger, Moore, & Jeffries all talked abt current/planned military occupation of cities. I can't evaluate Schumer's comments, since I haven't seen them.
I thought both Pritzger, Moore did a better job pushing back and against GOP talking points. Jeffries lost me when he validated some GOP talking points. Saying Dems care abt crime misses the point. If it were just abt crime, they'd be sending NG to Red states too. Totally racist deployment strategy
