Mamdani is more aggressive on taxes for corporations/wealthy individuals. Richmond might have free busses, but she's not proposing it for everywhere in Virginia that have busses.

Affordability is a word, by itself, doesn't mean much. Trump used it in a Truth Social post recently for example. It needs to be connected to specific policies to matter as more than a catch phrase. Of course make America great again is a catch phrase and that's been successful for Trump if less so for Republicans as a whole.

here are some of Spanberger's political positions that probably would not have been supported by Mamdani Celerity Nov 9 #17

These were votes in Congress. I asked what did she run on that was a moderate policy that wouldn't be supported? Nanjeanne Nov 9 #18

When a candidate runs for office, their past votes and/or stances are looked at by the voters. The votes and/or stances Celerity Nov 9 #20
