(1,380 posts)Inclusive narrative against what he deems as a common enemy.
But I disagree that Mamdani discussing socioeconomic policies acknowledging racial inequality as an issue is in any way making a specific race the focus of his campaign. In fact, his campaign has specifically been providing comprehensive policy solutions to address many of the endemic injustices of every demographic group within the community. For instance, he has proposed funding and support for addressing hate crimes within the Jewish community of new york and increasing city resources to address security concerns within those neighborhoods. While he clearly is in favor of taxing wealthier neighborhoods, he has also proposed an incredibly wide ranging array of proposals that focus on the needs of every demographic. This kind of strategy was successful in the primaries, and will be more so in the general.
But not because it is jsut NYC, but because NYC has become a microcosm for the general anger against the establishment throughout the entire country.
