    Just like other Democrats she’s putting all her eggs in the “communication” basket and not keeping the conversation on popular policies. I know she’s a progressive, but I can’t find much on concrete policy positions because her whole schtick is talking smack about other politicians.

    OTOH you have Mamdani, who is crushing the opposition by relentlessly focusing on popular policies. That’s the kind of future Democrats need. Listen to what people want and make that the conversation.

      I half agree with this. She in particular is a loud and aggressive voice which Dems need more of, but I can’t say I’ve heard her pitches on any policy at all.

      AOC and Bernie are better fits for the kind of communicating we really need more of which includes pragmatic solutions to problems that exist.

      I strongly agree with this, Mamdani has a much better tactic. I still enjoy Crockett calling out bullshit, but that’s really a great place for her. I don’t want her to lead the group, her attitude is too polarizing at first blush, but she’s very well suited to the offensive position she’s been playing so I hope she keeps that up.
