- I am in support of leaders like Mamdani.
- Why the "Mamdani Formula" of politics is beyond most elected Dems simply astounds me. It is so simple. 1-Have a "North Star" (aka a set of principles) 2-Have an overt love of public service 3-Use intelligence, empathy & compassion to identify & address issues. 4-Apply #1-#3 in all situations
- Isn’t that the “Obama Formula” as well?
- Yes. Ideally, it is the "Democracy Formula." I use Mamdami to illustrate this point because he's current. Many seem to have no sense that he represents principles of America at its best. (Sadly, many young voters may not remember Obama & much of what they do hear abt him today is tainted)
- As a European, I remember Obama as the last person in charge of the USA we really had faith in and who was an example, an ideal we believed in. Mamdani is so as well, but has - of course - very less media coverage her.Jan 23, 2026 23:18

- Do you think the momentum in #Minneapolis can be a turning point? Perhaps adding the #Davos craziness?
