Like most of you I had (and still have) a lot of doubts about Mamdani, but I'd at least consider this a small initial win

I'm still skeptical but cautiously optimistic
I've never seen a democratic politician do this, the standard operating procedure for the party was to ignore any scandal of the previous administration and just continue on as if nothing happened so this is interesting
This isn't nearly enough but it's a better start than I was expecting especially on day 1
At the same time, seeing how easy it is to do this immediately on day 1 just stokes the ever burning embers of anger, betrayal (I know they were never on my side now but emotions don't always follow logic, nor should they) and straight up hatred I have for the rest of the party to burn hotter than ever
