Speaking of, a Mamdani advisor(he also worked on Ruben Gallego’s campaign) has a fantastic essay in the NYT today: “instead of writing off candidates who resonate with voters because we disagree on an issue or two, Democrats should be asking why voters were drawn to them in the first place.”

I'm hearing a lot of "Jews in New York are scared" today. So, a couple of thoughts: 1) Jews should be angry, not scared.
