Will Business and Mamdani Have a Meeting of the Minds?
> business people were not following the ins-and-outs of the primary campaign.
> “People woke up the day after the election asking who he is,”
[With respect to #MamdaniForMayorNYC, the supposedly intelligent and well-informed business people of #NYC appear to have been "low-info voters".]

The last line of this article:
> Wylde puts the issue more starkly: “Can he demonstrate that he will not be the tool of the Democratic Socialists of America?”
This gets Mamdani's relation to DSA all wrong. Mamdani developed his political identity and derives his political philosophy within DSA (as I discuss here: https://seizethemeans.communitarium.org/baslow/zohran-mamdani-as-dsa-in-the-flesh-disindividuated-politics-foundational ).
Wylde's question is like asking whether he will be a "tool of democracy". The appropriate word is " expression". Voters like it, so far.
