I also want to point out that neither you nor numb-nuts asked why I thought Mamdani would lose the general.

You were sure it was a religion thing and the other guy saw it as a character defect of mine.

You were both interested enough to be insulting but not enough to share ideas.

I really don't let it bother me too much and yes, I can be a jerk sometimes. I don't claim to know everything and admitted that I know less about New York politics. What I do get from that primary is that Cuomo was just too toxic and I hope he and Adams split the vote in the general.

I don't know enough about Mamdami yet to form a definitive opinion but he sure ran one hell of a campaign which should be an eye opener for the party across the country.

I'm not sure what works in NY is tied in to what a lot of swing states are willing to approve of but getting out there and talking to people is what we try to achieve. It's even better if a candidate knocks on your door and not some dope like me with his pamphlets and pictures on his phone.
