New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said Saturday that Democrats have lost sight of the important economic issues facing working-class Americans as the party works to rebuild itself after a devastating loss in the 2024 presidential election.

“The party, as a whole, has lost its focus on working people,” Mamdani said in an interview with MS Now.

“People want to know: What are you going to do for rent? What are you going to do for housing? What are you going to do for gas? What are you going to do for groceries? We have to have answers to that.”

Issues like housing affordability, the cost of healthcare and rising gas prices should be at the forefront of the party’s focus, according to Mamdani, rather than ideological battles that distract from what matters to most Americans.

    “That advantage is entirely irrelevant to scholastic activities”. Did anything I say have anything at all to do with academics?

    The studies I reference are Strength, power and aerobic capacity of transgender athletes: a cross-sectional study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2024), Body composition, exercise-related performance parameters and associated health factors of transgender women, cisgender women and cisgender men volleyball players by the NHI (2024), and Transsexuals and competitive sports in the European Journal of Endocrinology (2004). You can look up what you want to about each. Though the results generally say that strength metrics equalize over time, some skeletal metrics and residual lean mass differences remain even after several years of hormone therapy.

    And since you decided to focus only on the trans issue in my comment I should remind you the thrust of my argument was in regards to Democrats putting identity politics before good governance.

      You didn’t even read the fucking articles you linked. You just googled articles for trans athletics and vomited them here, assuming they would back your claims.

      From your first paper:

      While longitudinal transitioning studies of transgender athletes are urgently needed, these results should caution against precautionary bans and sport eligibility exclusions that are not based on sport-specific (or sport-relevant) research.

      So the first article contradicts your claims and explicitly says there is no evidence to justify sports bans.

      TW amateur volleyball players displayed similar exercise-related performance results when compared with CW volleyball players. However, TW showed lower haemoglobin and total testosterone levels than CM amateur volleyball players. Being TW was a negative predictor for handgrip strength, CMJ performance and V̇O2max compared with CM.

      The second paper you linked contradicts your claims. You’re full of shit.
