"We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.” ~Zohran Mamdani

Whew, that one line alone. When you can say it all in one sentence ...

Finally younger blood (next generation) enters National politics. One can hope Mamdani doesn't turn out just as corrupt as what we got now (given how corrupt the Democratic party has become). It's become tiresome seeing decrepit Octogenarians on their last leg, whom belong in rest homes rather than in government, pretending they represent the interests of ordinary Americans.

Yo Mr. Trump: "Turn up the volume!"

The Lever has correctly pointed out that this was possible only because of the public financing of campaigns available in NY. We need that everywhere so that great candidates like Zohran can get in.

Congrats to the Mamdani campaign, to New Yorkers, to the DSA, and to all of us.
