There are wide smiles in many places. I watched until almost 4:30 AM here when with the first few minutes of Mamdani's speech, I had to give up watching. The people have spoken and it has shocked the establishment, who will try their best to undermine, disparage, twist, destort, and destroy what they have said. We, all of us, need to see that does not happen.
Thank you, Joe. And can we get all the pundits to stop saying, “Well NYC is a different kind of city so a ‘Mamdani’ (meaning the person or the policies) won’t work in other places.” That exhausts me.
You do realize that you DSA types were are obsessed over lefty de Blasio like 10 years ago right?
There is nothing unique or special happening here lol. Just DBD, he will realize that he doesn't actually have the power to make buses free (bad idea) or to freeze rent (bad idea) or to give away child care.
And no, if you think Mamdani will win in Iowa, I want what you are smoking kid.
lol free buses. You people clearly don't ride the bus with your kids. If you did, you'd understand that making buses free turn them into crack dens and homeless shelters on wheels. Even more so than they are now.
Literally nobody who depends on a bus for work wants it to be free. They want it to be fast. And if there magical money somewhere they STILL don't want it to be free because that money could be used to MAKE MORE BUSES. Idiots.
I think the message was as important as, or close to as important, as the people. The campaign had a vision of a better life for the working class and that vision spoke to them and energized them to go out and do the work. We need bold, clear pro-working class economic values represented loudly across politics. We need a message that hits at the heart of the American working class' struggle and candidates who endorse that vision to energize the people to want to knock on the doors and phone bank and do all the things necessary to put leaders in power who will put that vision into practice, until we have no less than democratic control of the economy and the workplace

Thank you Joe! I am elated.
The self-congratulatory nature of this post is typical of DSA.
He won because yadda yadda yadda.
Dude, he won because he was running against a 70 washed up dude accused of sexual assault. And still barely won lol.
But I'll give it to you, you sure are good at navel gazing.
Kamala Harris ran against “a 70 washed up dude accused of sexual assault.” And she lost so your logic fails.
When will you people stop comparing NYC to the whole country?
You realize NYC is like 80% dem, right?
There's absolutely 0 utility to the comparison.
