That’s a really general question and I can’t speak for anyone but myself. And if you’re going to be so cagey about your own views then it seems strange to interrogate mine.

I was happy to vote for Brandon Johnson for mayor of Chicago and he seems alright afaik. I would vote for Mamdani if I lived in New York. But even if my assessment is that they’re worth voting for, it doesn’t mean I have a problem with anyone questioning their authenticity or highlighting concerns about them.
