Welker: Let me ask you about what Donald Trump the president of the United States has had to say. He's had a lot to say about your campaign -- he called you a communist. Because he's the president I want to give you a chance to respond directly to him. How do you respond? Are you a communist?
Mamdani: No, I am not. And I have already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look how I sound where I'm from who I am ultimately because he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. And I'm fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower that he has since then betrayed. And when we talk about my politics you know I call myself a democratic socialist in many ways inspired by the words of Dr King from decades ago who said "Call it democracy or call it democratic Socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country." And as income inequality has declined nationwide it has increased in New York City. And ultimately what we need is a city where every single person can thrive.

(440 posts)His words are precise and his demeanor is pleasant. He seems like a "Happy Warrior" - the essential quality of every great politician since FDR.
He looks like a winner, and sounds like a winner!

MUST trigger his prejudices, MUST ACTUALLY be intelligent, and must SCARE the crap out of him.

(16,729 posts)in my view. Young folks like Mamdani and AOC, and the young voters who show up and turn out for them give me hope for our party and our country. Now, if the Democratic Party can get out of its own way perhaps we can save our social programs and democracy.

(221 posts)I first voted in 1972 as an 18 year old and i have seen a lot of politicians come and go in the years since.
Rarely have I seen a Democrat with this kind of charisma, intelligence and authenticity.
You know he's doing something right because he is getting attacked by all sides.
These attacks have soured me even more on Corporate / Centrist Democrats and will no longer donate to their campaigns and, if neccessary will not vote for them.
Bernie was the closest to this I have seen and now we have a younger version of him to cheer for.
If you have not watched this video you should. It brought tears to my eyes.
