There's a running theme on the mainstream Mamdani reporting that is essentially predicting he'd be doomed as mayor because the corporate interests and police union will eat him alive. As if that's a him problem.

I dare to hope his election will be the example of how to disempower current party leadership that’s ok with losing by appealing to mythical undecided centrists so long as they get paid.
No one buys a ticket to see the Washington Generals.
It's the same song & dance whenever there's a left of center mayoral candidate in any big city. Chicago PD was preaching MEGADOOM should Brandon Johnson get elected IIRC.

Just think of the damage it will do to our entrenched corruption apparatus!
Might as well let the change be highlighted in the most powerful city on earth.
Z has to fight a tough coalition with a lot of old money & views.
I’m excited to watch him.

We all donate a ton, get people to the polls, phone bank, fight our trumper neighbors
And my Centrist crew is a highly educated, experienced, globe traveling, seriously well read bunch
And we all know we need younger, fiercer candidates!
and those big bad soldiers bowed to the new queen
today we start to take america back
minus the FASCISTS
It’s certainly NOT HIS fault or a problem he created, but there is the reality of what that socio economic battle might look like.
His coalition has to be really tight.
It might as well happen at the heart of the financial corporate world.
If Zamdani pulls it off, if he wins and November and can keep NYC glued together, the entire national political landscape changes.
As an old history & poli sci major I look forward to it.
But the cops do have some power in this town.
Unfortunately.
