Re: Zohran No, he likely won’t be who leftists hope he will be. No, NYC isn’t gonna improve overnight for the working, poor & vulnerable. Yes, Zohran will likely do awful things in office. But FFS, we don’t have to be so miserable after beating Cuomo’s ass. To quote @jackmirkinson.bsky.social:

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all, Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

you know, i’m not militantly pro city-run groceries — i think it is an interesting idea to pilot and try out! — but i’m getting negatively polarized into being a big supporter just from these incredibly vapid, brain-dead posts.

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards or of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights

Despite the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth, LGBTQ+ rights attorneys say that there are still openings — some left by the court ruling itself — to fight gender-affirming care bans and other anti-trans laws.

It kind of reminds me of the debate over Obamacare's proposed public option. Like, their stance seems to be "The government will run it, so it'll be terrible! But it'll also be so awesome that it'll put private companies out of business!"

He didn’t do a focus group!!! He just spoke his values with his full chest. It’s not complicated.

Sure, fine, Mamdani's "style" or "messaging"... ...but the real key is that he KNOWS WHAT HE BELIEVES and he JUST SAYS IT. He has a coherent sense of how things work and don't work and a vision of a world where we focus on practical CARE instead of mindless PUNISHMENT. And he says so, every time!

oh no theyre going to attack the democrats for being "socialists" which might have some potency if the right hadnt spent the last 40+ years calling bill clinton, al gore, john kerry, hillary clinton, barack obama, joe biden, and kamala harris all "socialists."

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, defeating candidates including Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo, who was seeking a political comeback after he resigned as governor of New York amid sexual misconduct allegations, conceded the race Tuesday night.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.

I think we can all agree that whether or not you like Mamdani, the death of Cuomo for President 2028 campaign is a win for everyone.

Brad Lander has arrived at his election night party. "The ranked choice tabulations will take a few days, but this much is clear: We are sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs," Lander said to applause. "With our help, Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee"
