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.
And this is why we don’t put civil rights up to a “gut check.” You’re simply wrong. You have a bigoted belief that trans women have a male sex, so you assume that trans women perform the same as cis men in sports. Your bigotry blinds you to reality. Your gut is just a bigoted assumption. The actual science shows that trans women do not have advantages over cis women in sports. Or the advantage is so minute that it’s dwarfed by advantages like the income of your parents.
