When you listen to Mamdani, you hear what a leader is supposed to say. A uniter. An American. An adult.
If you understand english, the message is divisive. There's white people and immigrants, thats literally the message. I understand you hear it differently, but as an educated person that speaks and writes English as a second language, I can tell you thats what he said.
Literal division... there's nothing unifying about the transcript below, "health insurance industry" (people), "landlords" (people)... and on and on it goes ...
He's dividing the country between those that he feels "has", and those he feels "have not"
Yes, we see America in a health insurance industry(people to hate) that exploits the sick, but that is not all I see when we look for America. We see it too in the nurse who works a double shift and then stops on her way home to check on an ailing neighbor.
Yes, we see America in corporate landlords (more people to hate) for whom negligence is a business model. We see it too in the father who tucks his children into bed beneath a ceiling stained with leaks, who wakes before dawn to go to work and still believes his country can do better by his family.
Yes, we see America when we spend our tax dollars on bombs (MIC more people to hate)and bailouts (more people to hate), when we sell our elections to the highest bidder. Yet we see it just as clearly in every American who still believes this country belongs to we, the people.
Clearly not uniting.
