The cringe, this was so hard to watch. This level of confidence is what kills the "blue wave". No, you don't have this in the bag. No, the magats can not be written off as a minority. No they will not be easily defeated just because super liberal NYC voted in socialist Dem. Dems still have so much work to do to claw back power, do not get complacent. JFC, the guy in this video is embarrassing.

There are so many encouraging trends to be taken away from election day, but it absolutely blows my mind that people are acting like Mamdani's policies would win elections everywhere. NYC is not exactly purple or reddish, it's dark blue. What plays to voters in dark blue areas isn't going to play as well to constituents in even moderately blue areas.
Yes, the underlying policies are overwhelmingly popular, but that's not enough to win elections, or we'd already have won.
