    Highlight the danger and promise to destroy it” is absolutely useless. You’re letting the narrative be dictated by the other side, you’re jumping head first into a mud pool to fight a hog and not only do you expect to win, you think you won’t even get dirty.

    Mamdani is winning because, thankfully, he’s much smarter than that. He’s throwing punches against stuff that people hate and personally affects them.

      Mamdani is winning because he promises to give people things that they want: affordable housing, affordable groceries, affordable childcare, etc. Real, material change that will improve lives.

      But we need to be able to identify our enemies, and know how to hate them. It’s a powerful motivating tool.

      Don’t get in the mud with the pigs. Grab a hatchet.
