Based woke brown man. Cope and seethe chuds.

I am Trump's malignant hernia and I endorse this result.

I'm jealous of NYC right now, wish someone had those sorts of policies in Portland.

This is fantastic and I wish him the best. He's going to need the best communications team any politician has had thus far. All the odds and big money interests are stacked against him. He's going to be attacked from every conceivable angle, from every level of government. If he remains true and righteous, he'll persevere.

This is great news. However, I am still dumbfounded on how 42% voted for the other guy. He is literally a sexual assaulter and he was endorsed by Trump and Elon Musk! How is it that so many people still voted for him?

Mamdani could not have had a better campaign, yet, he had just ~8% more votes. If the other guy ran a just tiny bit better campain, things could have been very different.

I am trully happy that Mamdani won, but yet, I am left scared at the state of things. He should have had 70/80% of votes. After all that has been happening in the US for the last 9 months or so, there is only a 8% number of votes separating the two sides? Holly molly, that is scary.

From dead war criminals to this, lots of good news today! Not necessarily making up for everything, but I'll take it.

Prop 50 should be a done deal too, yeah?

I'm enjoying the unhinged rants I'm seeing from conservative social media. They're not happy and it's a fantastic read

Did you guys hear about the one time he broke up with his girlfriend in high-school?! Gave her the whole it's not you, it's me line. How could anyone vote for that!

Okay. Commentators have been saying for a while that a victory for him could be a signal of the American left learning that actually progressive policies and candidates can be successful and on the Democrats as a whole actually moving to the left. Let’s hope that that’s actually true, rather than it being dismissed as “New York’s different”.

Hopefully, the recent buzz around AOC will help, too. I’ve been seeing more of Crockett in the news, as well.

We’ll see. This is definitely a very positive move, though.

Beautiful news. Fuck off Cuomo, fuck off Trump. This is a win for the common New Yorker. I hope the high profile nature of this mayoral election has reverberations far beyond NYC.

Now that the Dems won EVERYTHING, by WIDE margins, it is clear that the Dems have the upper hand. Here's what they should do now with the power they just took back:

• Double down on the shutdown, and demand even more concessions. Nothing less than full compliance will be sufficient. Otherwise, we'll see where we are a year from now.

• Adopt a true progressive agenda. What happened to these MAGA Traitors is going to happen to MAGA-appeasing Democrats, too.

• Primary every weak Democrat - Schmuck Schumer, Jeffries, etc. They are almost as much the enemy as MAGA. If they lose, we get stronger, and if they win, they'll know they dodged a bullet, and they better get with the new PROGRESSIVE program.

• Force their hand on everything. Make them reject even reasonable Democratic and Progressive demands. Don't let them off the hook for anything, then use it against them viciously in the Midterms.

The real concern is that with 8 million potential voters, NYC barely breaks 2 million.

This is why it's always such a toss-up between fascism and normalcy - because too many people are complacent.

Welp time to go grab a beer so I can toast to this! That is a kickass win.

Finally some good fucking news

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements: Not United States Internal News

One of the more interesting polls out of this was whether voters were casting in support of or against a candidate.

86% of Mamdani voters were voting out of support of their candidate.

Half of Cuomo voters were voting against another candidate. (Mamdani.)

Voting against a candidate is a losing strategy.

Well-earned by Mamdani, but also I hope it's the last anyone has to see of Cuomo.

What I think is truly wild: 800,000+ voters still voted against someone whose policies would have helped make their lives better.

there was enough to get cumuo to 41% however. in other news virginia just elected a first female governor too.

Wow congratulations 🎉

Hell yes, more more more!

Maybe the best-run election campaign I have ever followed. When I first heard about him, I was sure that he would make some blunders here and there, or somebody would dig up some legitimate dirt that could stick.

But instead his messaging was on point, at all times. The only dirt people found were like one statement about the police and one about the intifada, none of which mattered much. He held his own in the debates. His ads were interesting and incredibly well made. The music choices were great. Hell, even just the Bollywood style ZOHRAN campaign logo was worth a 100k votes!

I really can't think of a single thing about the campaign that could've been done better.

Looking forward to see if all the people that announced they would leave NYC if he won are going to keep their promise.

Hell yeah
