    Mandani is not like Obama. He’s a real person. I’ve never put faith in Obama, but if Mamdani turns on the people I don’t know if I’d have anything left

      I’ll believe it when I see it.

      After 40 years of watching people get excited on election night, and then seeing their cost of living increase and the billionaires’ wealth increase exponentially, it’s unreasonable of you to expect me to be optimistic.

      I lived through “hope and change”. I know where this probably ends up. I would love to be wrong.
