Guardedly optimistic. He won't be able to do everything he wants to do, but dammit, we have to start somewhere.

Not left enough but he would still have my vote if I lived in NYC

The Democrats lose because people with power and money make sure they can never run the people who would actually represent their base. "We can't get young people to vote." That's because of the candidates you're running, not because young people don't want to vote. And we know, we can tell, you would never in a million years run candidates young people would vote for, because that's not and never has been who you are or what you want. You would rather lose to insane criminals than allow the kind of change your base wants to actually have a chance of happening. Fuck you.

You may be right, but that is not an opinion of Mamdani. It's an opinion of the Democratic party.

I want to retire at some point in my life.

If you will be above a reasonable retirement age before you enter office, you clearly do not share my values, you goddamn workaholic bastard.

I'm not even on that side of the country so I'm not all the vested in the mayor of NYC. But if I was a New Yorker, I'd vote for him and not either of the other two dipshits.
