Mamdani is proving the excuses were always a choice:

7. Mamdani has proved progressive politics work in the real world. That is, and has always been the reason the right

and too many mainstream Democrats have opposed him. They've never been worried about him failing, they have been terrified he would succeed.

Since the Reagan revolution a myth has been perpetrated by the right and some centrist Democrats that government is the "enemy".

Sadly they have been very effective in spreading this nonsense. So much so that people I know who are Democrats thought that having free college is not possible. I had to gently remind them that many other countries have it -- and not too many years ago we had in here in the U.S. So, by definition, free college in the U.S. is very possible.

The most successful president this country has ever had, FDR was also the most progressive. It would serve all Democrats and the country well to remember this.
