Zohran Mamdani's campaign perfectly shows how much the democrat party leaders are a pack of lying conservative bigots who would rather lose elections then go against the billionaires who have them by the leash. Socialism is popular if you explain what it means and how it will improve lives.

I don’t think we should ignore the momentum and legitimate excitement among voters that came from seeing two candidates work together in a positive way. People are sick of narcissistic candidates who don’t know how much groceries cost. That’s the takeaway.
