How do our board Dems feel about Mamdani becoming the young face of your party?
I'm an apostate Dem who last voted for the party when Bill ("the end of the era of big government) Clinton was a blue dog Dem.
When Obama came along I foresaw that the party was going down a path favored by radical 1960's academics but he cleverly concealed this with empty platitudes.
Mamdani hides very little.
So is the country ready for this lurch into seizing the means of production or are we fundamentally capitalists?

The NYC voters will decide who they want to be their mayor. It’s called Democracy.
Pretty big jump to crown the energetic candidate the “face of the party.”
Perhaps you should ask a real question: “How do our board Republicans feel about Trump being the face of your party?”
lessee.. it seems the american legitimate voting public decided who they wanted as their president.
democracy thrives.
… but not in 2020, right?

Mayors are not the faces of national parties
Was Mayor Koch the "face of the Democratic party?" Gimme a break.
Oh boy… when’s the wake up call?

Just like you said AOC was insignificant and only notable because of GOP attention……
…….and that is a general summary, not an exact quote in case you go concrete on me.
Keep telling yourself that
He will be the greatest fundraiser ever for the GOP.
When your party is a coalition of loons, this is what you get.
Name 5 more notable non-retired Dems right now in the public realm than Mamdani.

I will watch from a distance as NYC crashes and burns. Every LIB knows it's going to happen, but it
's energized, young base is going to set back the party 50 years.
Communism isn't supposed to work. It exists to tear things down and seek revenge.

Curly, the ACA was hardly an "Empty Platitude"...and since its passage, it has grown in acceptance
by the millions who need it most...and the GOP has yet to offer even a hint of something better. The ACA was never offered as the "Be All and End All" for our grossly expensive HC costs and Lack of coverage for ALL Americans...there's much more work to be done, but a least the Dems are moving the ball forward.
If anything is "EMPTY"...it's your posts ;-)
As for Mamdani, many of his policies have been implemented elsewhere in the USA to favorable reviews...and being a 'Democratic Socialist' is a far cry from "Communism", as several other democracies on this planet can testify. Let's see if he wins and then performs...New Yorkers won't hesitate to let everyone know their opinions.

The insurance companies agree with you. Free taxpayer $ for a trillion dollar industry

You’re a learned man…don’t be so MAGA-Simplistic…read Steven Brill’s book “America’s Bitter Pill” in
order to understand how the ACA came to be…and help so many Americans. Mr. Brill goes on to share his views on ‘Next Steps’…
Here’s hoping several others on this board do the same.
Bottom Line…the ACA was a major step forward.
