NYC Mayor Candidate Mamdani Says He's 'Not Defunding the Police'

[Celerity]

36. I am not the one in a bubble. I never said, nor do I believe

that 'every Democrat is like me'. You are pushing an entirely false framing with that one.

You also keep trying to push this trope of Mamdani as a national candidate and falsely attribute it to being a belief I am advocating for. I never said that, I do not think he can win nationally.

What I do advocate for is supporting the Democratic candidate (Mamdani) in the general election for NEW YORK CITY mayor.

Your multiple postings here taking swipes at him are not something, IMHO, that a supporter of the Democratic primary winner and now the Democratic candidate in the general (Mamdani) would do. You are attempting to introduce FUD, which is absolutely NOT advantageous to us (the Democratic Party) winning the upcoming general election. Like I already said before, it is sus.

Furthermore, you even admitted that you did not read his actual policy proposals, yet you still have a go over it using a problematic framing of his stances, one that contains little to no knowledge (again, you self-admitted that) of his actual platform and proposals.

Finally, I truly take issue with this:

A rural Democrat like myself, has a broader view of the party in general and how to win national elections

Just because you live in a rural area in no way automatically gives you a broader view on anything, let alone our Party or how to win national elections (which again is something you keep trying to inject into the conversation when that is not germane to any of my statements).

The entire construct of rural America having a superior view and superior knowledge of things simply because it is rural is problematic at so many levels. From what I see, rural America is now utterly, on balance, dominated by Maga and the Rethugs.

I think changing THAT is far more important for rural Democrats than taking swipes at the Democratic general election candidate in a decidedly non-rural (arguably the most non-rural in the nation) environment (ie NYC).
