Zohran is leading so many pundits to say so many weird things lol. “Do you like capitalism?”

Truly, if anything happens to Mamdani, this country will be forever lost.

the only "illegal" thing on this land is America itself: the most unjust, law-breaking, land-breaking, soul-breaking settler colony ever on earth.

quite a 🧵

I had not heard the Gillibrand comments and she not only doesn't push back on an islamophobic caller but repeats some smear that Zohran has supported calls for a global *jihad* while sounding like Marsha fucking Blackburn, there should be party-wide calls for her resignation.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

That primary list just keeps on growing...

on the other hand @teenvogue.com

I think it’s interesting we didn’t see this sort of dramatic catastrophizing when tech nazis took over the federal government bsky.app/profile/mari...

[email protected]: New Yorkers, DO NOT rank Mamdani. Rank Whitney Tilson. Result: •Tilson got .8% of the vote •Mamdani is overwhelming Democratic nominee @washingtonpost.com: Even though the people have spoken & we have the benefit of hindsight—let us show you just how stupid and out of touch we are.

The funny (not funny at all) thing is all their predictions are bullshit ("Obama gonna take our guns away!") and all our predictions are right ("Trump will cut medicaid," "raise taxes," "bomb Iran," ad infinitum)

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

probably a good time to bring this back

Do not come for AOC unless she's called you or she will hand you your ass.

people are so fucking stupid

"THEY'LL GET OVER IT" "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" anti-life politicians can eat a bag of dicks

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

Guess we know where to draw up the b****cades

Wait for it…

We are going to primary ALL THEIR ASSES.

lol lmao

The discourse will of course punt the truth and say "well, Cuomo was sunk by his sexual assault problems. This doesn't *actually* cm we shouldn't be centrist" You know it's coming...

GILLIBRAND ENDORSED? WTF?!

This is absolutely incredible. The polls didn't have Mamdani above Cuomo until the final round. He's gonna finish first in the first. Americans are ready for their own regime change.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

NY Post headline: “CUO-NO!”

New York, I love you, and you are not letting me down!

RESULT: Democrats have won a seat in the New Hampshire House, in the night's most important legislative special.

IF YOU ARE IN LINE, STAY IN LINE. Unless you're gonna rank Cuomo. In that case, go home.

This is a fucking outrage.

Don't ever use UPS. They lost an important package that I paid extra for guaranteed delivered overnight. They also refuse to pay the INSURED VALUE that also cost a lot extra. UPS IS A SCAM. NEVER USE.

Do the right thing NYC !!!!

This is BS. I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.). It's that simple.

Primary every single one of the ancients. If they don't have the sense to step down, we gotta move em out, no matter how entrenched or great they are.

I want off this ride

I suddenly now realize just how basic I am...

jfc

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Do what you love for a living, and you will never have a day off for the rest of your life.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

I can think of a regime I'd like to topple

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Sure sure we are totally still gonna get to vote in a whole bunch of months from now
