    I’m not knowledge about the strategies behind politics, so I’m not sure what would be lost (besides good will from mainstay Democrats for daring to give voters more choices in a primary) by having Ossé run. I can’t tell if Mamdani explains that in the full address that the article picked quotes from. The article doesn’t even pretend to have the idea that more context might be wanted.

    It feels like this article was formulated to make it seem like Mamdani is singularly and proactively trying squash other upstarts in the Democratic Party. But the article goes on to say that AOC also spoke out against the primary (still unsure why).

    I know some of it is the SEO of Mamdani trending but you can’t do media and pretend to be ignorant of optics. Especially when you churn out such an insufficient piece of writing.

    Not a fan of the headline or the article.
