Great spot. Thank you, Anand! May I request something for your consideration? The next time Andrea Mitchell or any other talking head brings up the idea that a Mamdani approach may not work in places other than "blue" NYC, please keep reminding her or them that the corporate Dems' strategy LOST the last election. They seem to forget that they LOST--and in a big way. It's always that the socialist Dem can't win, or a far-left progressive can't win--but they forget that the corporate Dem strategy doesn't always win either. And, especially, when the corporate Dems couldn't beat someone like Trump--why wouldn't they question THE CORPORATE DEM STRATEGY? (Well, of course, I know the reason, but.....)
Great job! Especially effective response to Andrea trying to throw water on the win and your perceptions. Her facial expression for the couple of seconds when she first came on-screen (before she knew the camera was on her) was quite revealing. Watch that part with the sound off and what do you see? Very interesting.
I’m 82 and this win excites me. Was shocked at the result! Never thought I’d live to see the day. I live in an authoritarian regime in Ohio. Bernie has always made sense to me. AOC and Jasmine Crockett inspire me! Thanks for your response about Democratic Socialism working in other countries! Exciting win for NYC!
This was a great interview and one of the most important things you said was that Mamdani’s strategies are replicable. Now for Dems to get to work and for Gods sake stop pandering to the GOP.
To Andrea Mitchell-it’s time to start talking about what is a social democrat. Since our educational system is so horribly mangled, we as adults (all ages) need to start talking to everyone who is so scared about a social democracy and what social democracy truly is-not what lunatic nay-sayers say it is!
Thank you, Anand! Perfect answer to the tired but ever-present “socialism” question. I’ve only heard that socialism accusation from over-75-year-old conservatives. They should retire their theories.

Couldn't agree more. Her question was a throwback to an era that we're hopefully beginning to move on from...
Great answers Anand. Watched it live. Director and empathic.👏♥️🇺🇸
Yes…I totally agree.
Sorry for the typo. Direct and empathetic ♥️
We have free bus service in Missoula, MT!!!
Keep telling the corporate media to stop with the “socialist scare”. Thank you Anand. Perfect responses.
You've earned your retirement. Enjoy it.
Now get out of the way and let us get to work.
75 year old retired dude.
Maybe the statement of the century!
Great response to the "Socialist" comment! Yes, we can all have nice things!
Yes, thank you older politicians for your service. Now it’s time to move on!
Great piece you wrote!
Amen Anand! The feeling part is so so true ❤️ and credit to Anat for that profound insight
You are so necessary. Break the wall. Optimism on the other side. Thank you!

Great comments by Anand!
I love it! Great interview! Especially your advice to the old guard - "you don't have to cling."
