This has really been the obvious problem with the Democrats and their voice-pieces. “We just need a liberal Joe Rogan” or “We just need to get as good at messaging as Mamdani”. All of the Democratic consultants and proponents think that what you believe or stand for doesn’t matter, as long as you focus group the exact phrasing or pitch right or find a more convincing mouthpiece.
Maybe the problem is that the Democrats believe in nothing, will fight for nothing, nor want to accomplish anything. They just think that they can be vacuous empty suites and as long as they can accurately focus group their phrasing they will be able to win. And actually having beliefs and principles hurt you, because maybe not 100% of people would agree with them.
not him, literally the entire democratic party. they are desperate to believe that it’s not socialist policies. they’re the best at taking the wrong (ie convenient) lesson every time.
the democratic party establishment is a bunch of rich fucks who never interact with real people, take AIPAC money in the hundreds of thousands if not millions, and engage in shady stock exchange to boot.
Buttigieg’s attack on Mamdani makes his own tone and messaging, and stories about his home life seem entirely manipulative. Like a Freudian slip admitting his own tactics, when reflecting against someone who has been clear and open about their political and ethical views.
Meanwhile, Democrats like Pete Buttigieg: “It’s not what he says, it’s just how he says it.”

It really feels as if they think of their entire base as morons when they keep repeating this
