"downwardly mobile millennials"

why are they downwardly mobile? could it be that boomers hoarded all the wealth and real estate, destroyed our planet with fossil fuels, and made it so that their generation was the last that did better than the one that came before?
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani appeals to downwardly mobile millennials who embrace his zero-sum politics, writes Reihan Salam. But are those voters the future of the Democratic Party? https://on.wsj.com/3IFk3mz

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 113 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

‘Attacking the future of the party while Republicans strip every poor person of Medicaid in the middle of the night,’ by way of example, is not acceptable leadership. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

He'll make a great mayor

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government
