Weekly Roundup: Mamdani Wins and Dems Sweep - Blame the Women!
Description
Brad and Dan unpack the historic election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City and the predictable right-wing meltdown that followed, complete with claims that he’s somehow both too weak to lead and an existential threat to America. The hosts explore what this reaction says about the American right’s obsession with demographic change, the symbolism of Mamdani’s win for younger voters, and the generational shift redefining leadership in U.S. politics.
They also dig into the backlash against young women voters, who showed up in huge numbers for progressive candidates across multiple states. Brad and Dan play clips from conservative pundits lamenting women’s “suicidal empathy” and even calling for the repeal of the 19th Amendment. The episode rounds out with sharp analysis of Democratic wins in Virginia and New Jersey, key court rulings, and local policy fights, ending on an optimistic note about the growing momentum for justice and accountability.
