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.
