The reason why candidates like AOC and Mamdani resonate with so many people

is that they are young, charasmatic, and up for the fight for the people.

But what they don't do is trash the Democratic Party, fellow Democrats, or Democratic voters.

They build bridges, they build coalitions, and they sell their ideas in a positive way.

This is the way forward.

Nobody is looking for divisiveness. Nobody is looking for a takeover of the Democratic Party. Nobody is in the mood to create unneccesary obsticles in our goal of putting Democrats back in control of the House, Senate, and White House.

And might I add they speak to those who go to work everyday. Americans who need two incomes just to put shoes on their kids’ feet.

Both AOC and Mamdami speak truth from the heart. They know what struggle is.
