Like, Hakeem Jeffries can get on my nerves at times because I feel like he's consciously emulating Obama and it puts me off. He's not the only one I feel this way about but is a convenient example. Mamdani, who I just heard give a speech last night for the first time, and was very impressed with, doesn't give me that same kinda-wannabe vibe. The similarities are there, but they're less glaring and forced-feeling. The intangibles, if you will
