It was speaking more to and specified against Harris.The only thing Harris promised was more of the same. Biden was also lackluster, though he did get a number of things done. Whether or not I agreed with them all. But you do understand that one of his campaign promises to a specific group of people. Was that nothing would fundamentally change. Perhaps that illustrates where that comment was focused.
Yes, Democrats do accomplish things on the margins. That’s the problem. People, Democrats, liberals, Republicans, conservatives, all of them want fundamental change. For the minimum of the past two election cycles, Democrats campaign promise was that nothing would fundamentally change. The last time a Democrat presidential candidate ran on actually changing something was 2008, nearly 20 years ago. And he sounded a lot like Mamadani.
Democrats aim so low that even when they accomplish something, it’s easily missed or ignored. That Mamdani is aiming high, is no vice. It’s a core plank of campaigning that Democrats forgot or ignored. If we had more Democrats like him, Democrats would probably hold more seats and be able to get more done.
