Did Mamdani just reshape the Democratic Party? | You Decide
Video Overview & Insights
Steve Kornacki is the chief data analyst at NBC News and a familiar face to anyone who watches election night coverage. He joined Errol to discuss this weekâs surprising New York Democratic primary, where multiple Democratic Socialist candidates backed by Mayor Mamdani won, including Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, while several incumbents suffered unexpected defeats. Kornacki also explained his âKornacki Camâ livestream, which tracks election results in real time, and broke down the nightâs biggest surprises, particularly Chevalierâs victory, which significantly outperformed expectations.
You clowns. Those "international isses and or genocide" is being perpetrated with our tax dollaes. We are directly responsible for that. So why would I trust someone who supports using my tax dollars to commit genocide in Gaza to help the homeless kids in NYC? It's a basic signal and litmus test on the politicians humanity.

homelessness is a product of income and wealth inequality, Erroll. You wonât fix that issue without taxing the rich, so if youâre so concerned about it, maybe you should join DSA

As a young progressive, the fact that anyone over 50 treats socialism like the boogeyman is astounding. How can the interviewer say we need to help take care of the 28,000 children sleeping in shelters and think that the centrist democrats are going to do anything, especially compared to the DSA? Are these services going to be provided by private industry with no incentive?

I like how Errol just ignored Kornacki saying DSA made inroads with black communities (especially younger black people) because that didnât fit his narrative

Yeah but the DSA didnât really go after Ritchie Torres. Not yet at least.

Black people was getting gentrified for so many years and you didn't see more black people bcoz you were not paying attention when their deed was taken.
Now you care about it.
This guy has so much experience and care for local politics that he canât understand how a country that funds and enables a holocaust wouldnât give two shits about people living on its streets.
@QNCreative-r7cI suspected Errol would be frustrating when covering this. The comments have helped me turn it off before I wasted my time. Too bad the blip of popularity this show had with me when Errol was interviewing Mamdani 's admin and actually educating me, is now swiftly dwindling. So tired of establishment media.
@ElGil-sn8ghErrol, people are saying we want more money for homeless children in New York and less on bombs killing children in Gaza and Lebanon.
@samothebaDarializa's slogan was babies not bombs. Ie no money for bombs in Palestine & lets invest in iradicating childhood poverty in NY. Errol is being deliberately obtuse & disengenious. These are politicians being elected to the national assembly & you want them to ignore billions the federal government is spending on a Genocide abroad??
@TEDdeMediciIâm black and a home owner. I donât buy the boogeyman nonsense about DSA. My millennial children are struggling due to late stage capitalism. The propaganda from corporate Dems nor MAGA will work in 2028. If they put up a DSA candidate, Iâm voting for them!
@Wanda_M_DS9This discussion of the wins by the DSA are just so deeply biased and right wing and just narrow minded and wrong. Every take is worse than the next to invent BS reasons to discredit DSA candidates.
@lotuseater7121The voters are reshaping it - listen!
@TinaBeck-w5rI was sad to see Chevalier win in my district. I hope someone qualified and honorable challenges her.
@justinleemillerItâs Zohranâs party now
@leebone1This conversation was intentionally dishonest, this guy is clearly an IsNotreal shill that wants to act as if he doesn't get why everyone in the DSA ran against IsNotreal First.
It's not because homeless kids is not a priority, it's because the politicians can actually help more homeless people in NY by voting against 10 million per day of our tax dollars being sent to Bibi to kill kids in Gaza.
American phobia with socialism is based on ignorance
@anthonychapman1795Check out the history⌠paranoia with socialism began with segregationists afraid that empowered free blacks would share in their wealth
@anthonychapman1795Us Coloradan's are about to vote in the next DSA candidates! I voted for Melat, Gonzalez, and Weiser!
@-ShinTV-Goodbye Corporate Dems. đ
Hello Progressive Dems and Dem Socialists! đđťđ
When will Americans vote for their interests instead of another countryâs đ
@krist5860Democrats simply have no understanding of what they have unleashed by letting the socialists take control of their party.
@Jm-GonzThe whole angle at 23:10 is so disingenuous Errol, especially when Darializa literally advocated for "Babies not bombs." The money we spend to assist Israel's genocide, alongside all of the money we use to wage war across the world SHOULD BE SPENT ON OUR CHILDREN HERE!!! That's focusing on homeless kids in our district. That's focusing on kids who are facing food insecurity. Espaillat has talked a big game but has delivered very little, all while voting for bombs, aid to Israel, and ICE. I beg you to actually analyze these folks as legit politicians. They have all explained how taking money away from genocide and death can and should be used to improve people's lives by increasing social spending on a myriad of specific policies. This is literally the job of a legislator, they control the purse!
@red_guardianThe confusion over Gaza becoming a litmus test is adorably out of touch. For decades, pointing out that Israel is an apartheid state was disqualifying for public office! Now that public opinion is starting to shift, allowing for the latent criticisms which were always there to be honestly voiced by candidates, it is a liability for progressives not to voice them. It's not complicated.
Also, none of these candidates ran primarily on this issue, and most DID center housing affordability. There pundits have some solid analyses, but they just do not really don't get this one.
The reason Palestine is a litmus test is because everyone woke up and found out that swearing loyalty to AIPAC and visiting Israel was more important than caring about your own local community
@justice9221Mandani supporting more for Immigrants then for the New York American this is what Karen Bass she was fought hard for immigrant then the California Tax Payer
@lady883Suggestion: Use more contrast. It looks too dark...
@tilitila8820:11 Errol, these individuals, businesses and PACs are not giving politicians money because they feel charitable. They want something in return (even if it is not a direct quid pro quo). It matters intensely how political campaigns are funded, because politicians answer to those who fund their campaigns. People in the mainstream press not giving two hoots about this is why independent media has become so prominent: normal people understand this relationship, people in the media are at best wilfully ignorant of it.
@disasterarea9619:53 Really Errol? Really? Are you a human being? Do you even have a heart? Genocide enabler!
@SA-lw8zzOne of the stupidest podcasts Iâve ever listened to. Errol just makes one dumb ass claim after another ââgoodbye!
@julianmaile9353The environmental impact of AI has not been addressed. It is very destructive. The bombing of the Iranian school children which may be AI.
@BeverleyBirks-m8rIt turns out people donât like genocidal war criminal maniacs. Why is that a surprise to these corporate media doofuses?
@Richard.AtkinsonThis was a referendum on Israel... We don't want to be complicit in a genocide. We are tired of corporate politicians being bought and using our tax dollars against us.
@aria2628-m2tyou don't see a connection between kids in Gaza and homeless kids in NY?
Billions going to Israel to kill in Gaza, Lebanon, couldn't be used to help homeless kids in NY?
They bemoan the fact that voters are paying attention. And to separate the situation on Gaza from American homelessness is incredibly myopic. Is it on purpose or does he really fail to see how those things are interrelated? And if he is so concerned about homeless kids, why didn't he start doing something sooner?
@pandorafox3944There is a HUGE difference between the homeless children in NYC and Gaza. In Gaza, they are killed in a genocide. I am shocked you are comparing the two. It's night & day man...
@RobertLee-g8vIt needed to be mentioned that Espaillats weaponization of anti Black/anti Haitian racism to Darializa probably soured him for a lot of crucial voters in the final stretch
@branpred79Jobs not done
@outsideMax13 is my district, and actually, Mamdani swept in my particular neighborhood (Inwood). Also: there are many 'white, college-educated' residents here who've been here for decades - to call us 'newcomers' is erroneous. This neighborhood has gone through many waves of dominant demographics. I work next-door to Columbia - district 12 - and Espaillat had signs up down there! AND had people removing Darializa signs in his own district, like a desperate child. All my neighborhood friends - including many Dominicans and other Hispanics, voted for Darlializa. Espaillat has been a filet-of-corporate Dem establishment lackey from the beginning. No, thank you. APART from the massive Israel Lobby funding. PS: I'm Jewish and have lived in Israel -- and 90% of my Jewish friends also voted for him.
@svemoryEstablishment and corporate Dems are terrified of Zohran.
@annohalloran6020Them pretending Mamdani is not important but that click bait title speaks the truthđđđđđđ
@jammyd5394Errol defense for torris sounds like he is talking about business man instead of an elected member who is representing the district he got elected. Did he not hear what he is saying?
@jammyd5394Errol pretending not to know why DSA are against isreal and aipac. U canât talk abt homeless people in ur district bcoz 99.9% of politicians on both side are in the pockets of isreal and aipac and wants to give billions of dollar to them every year.
@jammyd5394re: genocide - more and more voters can NOT abide so everyone has to take a position. Re: homeless kids in NYC, that's kinda like climate change - just NOT talked about by most media - maybe Kornacki can mention both - popular media figures could help in both cases.
@jcriversideItâs disgusting they believe the incumbent is entitled. Donât do your job, get replaced. These âleadersâ forgot they work for The People.
@MsKillerK-NYNo, the voters elected their preferred candidates. You know, how democracy was supposed to work, before both parties sold out in exchange for lobbyist bloodmoney.
@PhiliqificationDemocratic party leadership and their financial backers would rather let republicans win forever than hand back control of the party to FDR new deal style democrats.
@unipartyhellscape8895oh plz. Mamdani is EXTREMELY caring about New York City kids. You're shameful to imply he only cares about Gaza. Shameful.
@mirandapillsbury7885pretending that donors money doesn't effect politicians is such a bad lie, what a joke
@renamoon8770Darializa won the black vote. Yall are annoying trying to make this a white ppl thing or whatever
