New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said Saturday that Democrats have lost sight of the important economic issues facing working-class Americans as the party works to rebuild itself after a devastating loss in the 2024 presidential election.

“The party, as a whole, has lost its focus on working people,” Mamdani said in an interview with MS Now.

“People want to know: What are you going to do for rent? What are you going to do for housing? What are you going to do for gas? What are you going to do for groceries? We have to have answers to that.”

Issues like housing affordability, the cost of healthcare and rising gas prices should be at the forefront of the party’s focus, according to Mamdani, rather than ideological battles that distract from what matters to most Americans.

    I wish he would say the quiet part out loud:

    They have been compromised and infected by money. The only solution is to make bribery illegal again.

      Absolutely FDR

      That’s when the Democrats had a populist message and actually helped the working class

      It also resulted in them controlling like 80% of Congress
