To try to explain, I think you're "conceding" that there's such a high likelihood that I'm right that it's not worth it for you to do research on your own to respond to the points I listed. Lacking an objection to them, I take it you agree with me on them.

If you're looking for differences of "policy" of these women with Mamdani, I don't actually want to argue over them. There are obvious ones, but why risk unity by rubbing them in. Unity is important and the Democratic Party is.

Other posters note that each locale is different. And I agree. I just happen to think the victories of these two women who are governors-elect and who won top statewide office should outweigh the results of a city mayoral election. Their influence on our strategy should predominate. To me, I'm just afraid that's obvious.

It seems obvious anyway. If you don't find it so, we can agree to disagree.

Bravo! I have some Info on the Govs Sherrill & Cha Nov 9 #19

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
