I met a waitress in Paris who reminded me to vote for him. I was syrprised someone overseas cared that much.
Lol I'm in Estonia and I care more about this than our own municipal government elections that was... I think 2 weeks ago? I mean I voted, I just don't remember when it was. The folks who got in were mostly OK and we're keeping the previous mayor who was OK.
Mamdani could be the leading force behind change in what is arguably the most influential nation to most of the western world. And it's all starting off in one of the most iconic cities in the world, that desperately needs all the help it can get.
I love this post. You are on the other side of the world yet you've envisioned an optimistic and plausible path for this country to start not just rebuilding but to find some redemption and even inspire people again. Eventually.
I'm not in NY, but am in the US within a several hour drive of there.
Well I'm hoping that what Mamdani can prove to the democratic party is that charismatic young leaders with progressive ideas are the way forward. Maybe then a certain monitor brand can get the 2028 presidential election nomination.
Part of me still wants to live and work in the US, NYC in particular. Ain't gonna happen in this current state of things though. First you guys need a new president, then a huge lack of software engineers and then the country would be ready to receive me lol
But even that aside - some European conservative parties are just mirroring the republican party. I think if they lose power, our conservatives will also lose confidence and pull a bit to the left.
I honestly dont think he is going to get all of that stuff done, but im ok with that because intent is more important to me
I mean, he's a mayor---not city council. People ascribe far too much power to the executive branch to get things done as opposed to the legislative branch which holds all the actual power in a representative democracy
Sometimes bringing people hope is more important than whether you get everything done or even just half. When people have hope, more progressive politicians may get their chances.
