96. Are we going to let Republicans tell us who we can run because of what they will say?

They called Biden a Communist too. When they don't have that, they make up secret sex rings or drinking the blood of children.

It's going to be a whole lot worse when they can quote Democrats atttacking him. Republicans will use Gillebrand's interview against Mamdani, it doesn't matter if she was inaccurate, or what she walks back.
The Democratic leaders are already convincing Democrats not to vote for him.

Let this guy get elected and he'll show why we don't have to fear a Muslim or a Democratic Socialist.
Defeat this guy and we'll have 1 of 2 candidates who can be compromised by Trump, and young Democrats will go elsewhere or stay home again.
