Pragmatic policy-focused progressives should use this to get the Left to understand practicality determines outcomes, not passion or rhetoric. I am rooting for Mamdani and I think he has found some success. But I knew he would hit reality like a brick wall.

Sour, but let's make some lemonade.

The Left should recognize Mamdani faces unnecessary headwinds.

Slogans like "ACAB" alienate otherwise potential allies in the police unions. The message should be "corrupt cops make cops and communities unsafe" or something...

We don't want to eat the rich. We want to rebuild the American Dream.

Too many in The Left have become traumatized into exclusive-mindedness. That anti-value is what we reject in the Right.

Economic, social, and justice inclusivity is the most important part of The Left. Without it, the Left has little to offer.
