it did not run on 'Far Left' Policies...and now, the fundamental strategy is "Affordability"...something that New Yorkers need more than most people in the U.S.. Meanwhile, Trumpers...like yourself...only want to talk about absurd Straw Men, like "Communism", which a "Democratic" Socialist would Never align with. Note that DJT's approach to government is a lot closer to Fascist/Authoritarian Rule than any Democrat you'll find...assuming you care about such things.
As for Jim Carville, he's a political consultant...not an Ideologue...and therefore doesn't want to give "fresh meat" to Republicans...even if their arguments are...shall we say..."Overstated"...just more work for him to spend time on. IMO, with ties to NYC, the Dem focus needs to stay with what won Zohran Mamdami the Mayor's office..."Affordability" for the vast majority of citizens. Let's see how effective Mamdani is before throwing stones at him.
Fortunately, DJT has given these candidates plenty to work with this Fall.
