@natesilver538 discusses the struggles within the liberal movement and why Hasan Piker is wrong to say moderates don't believe in anything. Nate also points out a reason for Zohran Mamdani’s success: “sewer socialism” and the fact that he seems to actually care about improving New York City.

Homeownership has become so synonymous with success that we rarely stop to ask whether it's actually the right choice.
This clip explores one of the most striking examples of that mindset: HUD sold foreclosed homes in federally designated flood zones to first-time homebuyers in an effort to increase homeownership rates. Today, many of those homes are (of course) repeatedly flooding.
