Zohran Mamdani and the Future of American Politics

[QueerDuck]

4. I think his being a "democratic socialist" may explain why Jeffries does not want to get too involved in his politics.

Jeffries is a Democrat and very loyal to the party. Therefore, reasonable people have concluded that Jeffries has personal reservations and misgivings about someone who will not self-identify as being a proud Democrat. I wonder what Mamdani could do or say to win him over, or to win the confidence of others who also remain guarded. That's the elephant in the room that nobody wants to speak about or address in a frank, honest, and adult manner. I can't remember if I read this "theory" online, or if it was some loudmouth youtube pundit on a repeating loop. Now...I'm not attacking Jeffries in any way... I respect him very much and he's certainly entitled to his opinions and beliefs. But when you think about it, this goes a long way to explaining things, doesn't it?
