...Carville's claim that there is a fissure in the Democratic party, I think that's pretty obvious. Not sure though that he provided any answers as to how to fix it.

Mamdani, for example. I don't live in NYC, but if I did, I would vote for him, because he's the Democratic nominee.

Do I like his policy proposals? No.
Would I have preferred that someone other than him (or Cuomo) was up for and won the nomination for the party? Yes.
Do I still want him to be elected as mayor of NYC? Yes.

But to me, the problem with the divisions that became very evident after Mamdani won the nomination is that we can't win in this country with just registered Democrats - we need the third-party registrants, or no-party registrants, to win at the national level.

I don't know what the answer is, wish I did.
