my own read is that it was a bit of both: his dumpsterness sees that mamdani has "game", that even many dems (eg, schumer) are jammed up by him AND that M's focus on that "new word: affordability" the latter isn't a "communist", but an economic populist, which he deludes himself that he is also.

who is "you" in your comment? it doesn't apply to ME, i assure you.🙂
