2. Excellent videos. I love his energy. It's contagious and gives real belief things can change

I was thrilled he did so well in neighborhoods that shifted hard for Trump in November.

AOC pointed out that some voters split between her and Trump because they aren’t driven by specific policies or agendas. They’re just fed up with the system and desperate for change. That’s why you see people like Joe Rogan endorsing both Bernie and Trump—people want something different, not more of the same. Zohran’s campaign is a perfect example: he increased youth turnout by 300% and even won back young men who had previously supported Trump. Turns out, when your policies are genuinely aimed at helping people, they get excited and show up to vote.

Voters aren’t naive—they understand that compromise is part of the process. But what they’re seeing from too many Democrats is a pattern of giving up on real change, even before they face any real opposition. Instead of pushing for bold, meaningful progress, they’re too often starting with half-measures, compromising further, and then abandoning their efforts at the first sign of push-back.

Trump’s appeal in certain neighborhoods came from people who were tired of inflation and frustrated with performative Democrats. Many either didn’t vote or voted for Trump because they didn’t feel heard. Then along comes Mamdani, who talks about how life is unaffordable for the vast majority, and how the top 1% isn't paying their fair share. He’s committed to fighting for the 95%, and suddenly, people voted for him. Wonder if the DNC and Schumer can spend $20 million on focus groups to figure this out.
