Relitigating old feuds is cringe and all, but boy is it fun to hear centrists and conservative Democrats wring their hands over Zohran being the nominee. "I don't know if I can hold my nose and vote for a socialist :(" Say it with me, your favorite catchphrase: Vote Blue No Matter Who 😘

Zohran consolidating establishment Dem support makes me hopeful he'll be able to fend off or even entirely prevent Cuomo's challenge in the general

The usual centrist hacks are hard at work analyzing Zohran's win to find ways to separate his style and tactics from his substance, to concoct a theoretical campaign that can inspire people without being socialist or pro-Palestine. But the substance is the whole reason the campaign worked.

The team-up these two embarked on in the final days of the race is something really special. A politics of solidarity and coalition-building. I think it's going to inspire a lot of movements going forward.

Celebrating a blowout victory beyond my wildest dreams with hundreds of fellow socialists who pounded the pavement for months to win power in the heart of global capitalism. I'm crying. I didn't let myself believe this was possible.

louder for the people in the back

Really important that Zohran won an unprecedented come-from-behind victory while never flinching from his core values. Didn't throw trans people or immigrants under the bus, didn't back down on his pro-Palestine politics, etc.

ZOHRAN FUCKING MAMDANI

Hot day for a hot mayor. NYC, if you haven't voted yet, today's the day. Zohran #1 for mayor, Justin Brannan for comptroller, Jumaane Williams for public advocate. This is going to be close so every vote counts. Find your poll site: zohranfornyc.com/pollsite

leftists are consistently labeled as out of touch extremists, but there isn’t a single prominent left position this unpopular

Check out that 25-34 bar. When have you seen numbers like this from young people?

Nearly a quarter of NYC’s early voters were new Democratic primary participants https://gothamist.com/news/nearly-a-quarter-of-nycs-early-voters-hadnt-voted-in-a-democratic-primary-since-2012

My friend's bearded dragon Pebbles says Freeze the Rent!

I stand corrected. New poll shows Zohran leading, just barely outside the margin of error! We're gonna win. emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-cit...

I'm going to be completely insane until we find out the results of the NYC mayor's race on Tuesday. So far I've worked about seven canvassing shifts for Zohran, gonna try to do one on election day too to keep my mind off of the results

They're doing Bernie 2020 all over again! Democratic leadership is far, far more afraid of a socialist mayor than they are a fascist President. So afraid that they're willing to pull out all the stops to get a disgraced sexist bully elected, just to stop a socialist!

I voted early! Here's my NYC mayoral ranking: 1. Zohran Mamdani 2. Brad Lander 3. Michael Blake 4. Adrienne Adams 5. Zellnor Myrie If you're in New York, make sure you vote early, fill out your whole ballot, and don't rank Cuomo!

So honored to have Hikaru in the Light!, the very first series we ever released, nominated for Best New Manga at the American Manga Awards! Congratulations to Scholastic Graphix, who have done an amazing job coloring this series and giving it the beautiful print edition it always deserved ❤️

My mom is phone banking for Zohran and she convinced a woman at her yoga class to do it too

NYC friends, if you want to help Zohran win but you've never canvassed before, send me a DM and I'll be your canvassing buddy. We need everyone we can get

GamesMustBeStopped

Let's-a go

NYC mayoral debate prediction: At least one more progressive or moderate in the anti-Cuomo coalition is gonna pull a Ramos and go after Zohran. Cuomo for sure wants to do the same kind of knifing Dems did to Bernie in 2020.

Prediction markets are on track to flip the NYC mayor's race from favoring Cuomo to favoring Mamdani. Not indicative of actual votes of course, but a huge vibe/momentum shift for sure.
