Now that the Platner Mania is subsiding, it’s time to take stock of what the media is trying to do.

“All of Mayor Mamdani’s candidates won last night. What do you say to people who…”

Ever the sick burn. Right?

Go on. You and I both know what the next 6 months are going to look like.

Gravely on ice-blue sets, intoning…

“All Democrats want is a fighter!”

Is that actually true? The people who want a “fighter” are… the media.

To a person.

Right down to those in exile on the various “stacks,” such as there are.

What needs to happen is A Democrat needs to come out with “fixes.”

It’s not Mamdani-esque. (There’s a subdural menace to him, and all the DSA, to me – a middle-of-the-road D.)

Fixes. Something like:

• “Demand higher wages!”? Across the board. Record-high corporate profits. People keep saying, “The government needs to lower prices!” The frickin’ GOVT dosen’t lower prices. But WE can demand higher WAGES. And, ONLY patronize those who PAY living wages to people on the job 40+ / 5.

• A G. Z. Bill for Gen Z - to buy starter homes.

• A fair, lawful, and rewarding resolution to immigration, faithful to the American tradition.

• And! Tax the Apps. (Whole PAPER on that here.)

• And! An ASSET tax. STOP calling it a “wealth” tax.

Then, just go around and defend them DOWN TO THE LAST dollar.

Without regard to what “wing” of the party the WWE-scribblers want to put them in.

I think we could pretty much campaign just on electric cards and win at this point, right?

And, without offering “a fighter” for the networks to spin hours of simplistic, “Bros v Berns,” “DSA v DSCC” and the stomach-churning hair splitting of, “Do you support Chuck Schumer?”

Simple.

“That’s a pretty interesting argument there. I think all of that can be handled once we win. For right now, I’m focused on these core issues right here. I’m gonna keep my head down and keep campaigning on them. I’m confident that we’ll come to a good consensus answer on those other questions in time. I trust that voters will take my discipline here to stay focused as evidence of my good faith. The Democratic Party is a coalition. We want to offer everyone a home to every person of goodwill who KNOWS what the American Dream is – and how, working together, we plan to put it back in reach of every person willing to work all day to get it.”

On the menace pose by this almost Fujimori-level of abuse those with the ability to level guns, truncheons and subpoenas, more here. For a REALLY long read, this. For just one core piece – this.
