"There’s one story that does this better than any other: anti-corruption. To many voters, it is the explanation for why gas costs so much; why inflation endures; why education, housing, and health care have become so expensive; and especially why they feel like they can’t get ahead. In an NBC News exit poll, 90 percent said government corruption was a crucial or major factor in their vote. And in Trump, they see corruption incarnate: CBS News, meanwhile, found that about six in 10 voters think Trump puts his own personal interests over the country’s."

I'll boil it down to him correctly saying "Democrats should also not get too high on their own supply" and then spending the rest of the article high on his own supply

[Edited on November 7, 2026 at 8:19 PM. Reason : while dismissing the "kitchen table" issues that got Dems elected in favor of a political retribution agenda]

Dems need to do both retribution and kitchen table

What would Mamdani do is what Dems need to ask themselves
