Zohran Mamdani won.
I know I know, he’s a succdem and my guard is still up he’ll say “SIKE!” just like Obama, but maybe I’ll get pleasantly surprised and see a success story in a part of the country that doesn’t want people like me dead. That is the bar now. Don’t legalize discrimination against minorities and also baseline competence.
It was worth it for the sole reason of forcing everybody from the shittiest Democrats to Donald Trump himself to endorse Cuomo. I feel like we didn't stop and enjoy just how fucking washed Trump was going up there asking people to vote for Cuomo. Fucking pathetic.
Cuomo eating shit was a good thing regardless of what anyone thinks of Zohran
My take is that if nothing else, Mamdani's victory showed that there's a demand for left-wing politics and not everyone in the US has had their brains turned to goo by propaganda. We often act like the mayonese-burgerlandic brainpan is fundamentally incompatible with socialist ideas and it's just nice to see that a lot of people in the US do actually want the same things we want.
