Young people feel disenfranchised on both sides of the aisle.

The government has failed them.

They go to high school and they're told you have to go to college.

You have to get a college degree.

So then they do.

And then they can't get a job.

And then they're riddled with debt and they go rent an apartment and their apartment poor.

So they can't save money.

Lots of them live at home with their parents because they can't afford a house.

They go into credit card debt and everyday household items and food are expensive.

These are valid concerns of young people, not just young people, a lot of people, but young people for sure.

And then a candidate like Zoran Mamdani comes along and he's young and he's handsome and he's charismatic and he's cool.

And he tells them, I see you.

I see your problems.

I'm going to fix them.

The issue is none of them, Mamdani included, know that a lot of this stuff that he's promising is not going to be implemented.

So that's the kind of glimmer of hope that I have in all of this, that New York City won't fall to socialism because Kathy Hochul has already said that she's got to put a stop to some of the policies that he's pushing, like raising taxes for certain freebies.

And a lot of this stuff might die in the state legislature.

And remember, we don't like Zohra Mamdani.

We, conservatives, normal people, we don't like Zoran Ramdani because of the defund the police movement, the city-run grocery stores.
