As Ezra and Matt investigated these sorts of things through their careers, they found that their previous talking points don't hold up to much scrutiny, and they migrated towards the policy center.

The upper middle class whites who voted for Mamdani would probably shop there on principle, thinking it's the virtuous choice. Even though they don't need the subsidized groceries.
