I mean, it certainly seems to me that Mamdani and, I don't know, like the woke socialism seems to be the future of the party.

I mean, that's where all the energy is in their base.

I mean, I don't want that to be the case.

I'd rather have a rational Democrat party.

But that seems to be where their base is, where the energy is.

And you don't really hear Democrats within the party trying to self-police and distance themselves from that.

You saw, I mean, all the major figures in the Democrat Party have endorsed Mamdani.

So, yeah, I mean, that's where that party seems to be headed.

I think that partly it's where their base is at.

I think partly it might be a misread of, it's sort of, it could be kind of like a partial reaction to Trump where they feel like,

you know, establishment politics kind of failed.

And so they need a populism of the left to compete with a populism of the right.

And so I think that's maybe part of the calculation for why they're going this direction.

But I don't, you know, I fundamentally, I don't think it works.

I don't think socialism works.

I don't think the, you know, defund the police, empty all the jails policies work.

So, you know, I think we're about to get another election.

you know, uh, case, uh, a teaching moment in New York.

Unfortunately, it's not going to be good for the city.

Uh, but, uh, you know, we've seen this movie before, but, uh, but yeah, that's, that's where, I mean, it does appear that's where the Democrat party is.
