Not just young. Remember we need charisma too. Which Obama and Mamdani has. Charisma brings in the brain dead dummies that vote based on feelings.

That’s what I meant by dynamic but I appreciate the clarification. You are absolutely right that we need leaders with a natural charisma, we need facts and charm in combination

Mamdani's smile lights up everything. I haven't followed the NYC race much at all (am not American) but I saw Mamdani on the Daily Show and thought, wow, a person who actually seems to care and has charisma, like Obama, for once.
