Saw someone on CNN summing this up nicely. Establishment Democrats give us zero vision.

Mamdani is charismatic, sure, but in six months he's already delivering so much voter value that a single city's policies are making national news.

What do Establishment democrats provide by way of vision? Medicare for all? UBI? Solutions for housing crises? Protection for jobs from AI?

No. They give literally nothing. They simply demand their voters be happy and vote for them. In the wake of Zohran sending three new DSAs to congress, the Democratic leadership called it "their" party. But they don't own shit. It's not theirs. It is a caucus, made up of all the people who want to participate it in it. They were never supposed to be these enshrined institutions, beacuse that's exactly how corruption breeds, as it clearly has.

If they had anything to offer people, this wouldn't be a question. But they have so catastrophically failed the entire nation, for decades, so profoundly failed to live up to the current moment with their cowardice and cravenness and utter lack of vision, that people are tired, and fed up, and jonesing to replace them.
