"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.
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.
Great post and celebration of this victory , which shows the momentum of change that is underway..”Every single person around us has agency and can be a part of building power and creating the new world.”
Thank you for pointing out that he is a member of DSA. I have been really bummed that DSA isn't getting a larger share of this win and that so many are attributing his win to being a Democrat, when he's a socialist. We need people to see that there is an alternative, that it's being built in front of their eyes and that they can be a part of it too

Yo Mr. Trump: "Turn up the volume!"
Agree, that was the rallying call for us throughout the world.
So glad that New Yorkers came through for him. What a brilliant campaign he ran despite the millions that tried to stop him!!
