This is the first time since Bernie Sanders I found myself involuntarily smiling just from listening to someone running for office. This guy actually “sparks joy” in a way even many pretty-decent Dems could only imagine doing. It just feels like he Gets It, and wants to make things work better.

I've not seen such a truly charismatic politician in all the time I've been aware of politics. Dude is a master class campaigner with ideas to actually help people and im always in awe watching him effortlessly throw off all the attacks and gotchas he gets.

I'd add, for general Dem candidates, "Making the tax system fairer & putting $$ into the hands of workers isn't punishing the rich; it makes sure the infrastructure - roads, bridges, schools, parks, etc. - that fueled their success are maintained & renewed, while ensuring they have customers."

Unfortunately it won't convince many of them because theyre deeply capitalist. Capitalism places the accumulation of capital above all else. Its a poisoned incentive structure that makes people turn a blind eye to long term sustainability to make number go up a lot every quarter.

The Fascist Fucks of the Trump Regime are so scared of this guy that they're actively looking into how they can revoke his citizenship & deport him. While the MSM & Dem leaders SHOULD be saying, "The FUCK you will!", they're suggesting he needs to clarify what he means by "Globalize the Intifada".

You’re thinking too inside-baseball, he’s not making a direct vote-focused comparison, he’s using the voting trends in the general as a proxy for the character of the neighborhood. Saying “swung” blurs that line, but I think that’s okay for showing momentum.

Maybe things have changed but when I was in 4th or 5th grade I learned you have to make apples to apples comparisons. Comparing voting patterns in a primary to ones in a general election is an apples to cantaloupe comparison, at best.

Correction, they (major media outlets, but also the entire current GOP) are too busy trying to slander the winning candidate and frighten the electorate.

He’s also doing this video to speak directly to the centrist losers who keep running on “we aren’t Trump” and getting their ass kicked. He’s saying if Democrats give people an economic agenda to vote FOR, and focus on voter registration and turnout, they will win. Like he just did. Will they listen?

He’s doing numbers not seen before for democrats but due to not swearing a blood oath to Israel and corporate power the democrats are sitting with their thumbs of their asses.

We must help this young man win! I think Gen X, Y and Z see their lawlessness, corruption, theft, ethnic divisions, gaslighting and lies. That DEI, immigrants, and being (WOKE) are the causes for our ills & govt. Wrong! it's the ideology of 47 & the entire GOP Party, Period. Come Midterms, we win!

When I had to sit on interview panels for jobs at universities I worked at, I always paid attention to this sort of thing. Did they use language that suggested ingrained collaborative instincts, or self centered? Did their natural word choices align with our interests and values? It’s meaningful.

So true. I am sick of the people who only say “I”. I’m also an outsider who has only become interested in NYC politics since I’ve seen my Orthodox Jewish friends decry the results. Thus far I’m impressed with Mamdani. If the hypocrite Bill Ackman is for it I’m against it. Go Mamdani!

He "ran a campaign that managed to expand the electorate in such a way that no turnout model or poll were able to capture." Yup. That's it. That's the big surprise—talking to New Yorkers and getting them to care, to see themselves and their future.

He's talking about the big shift towards Trump in NY last election specifically. Which means people who hadn't previously voted GOP changed their vote and did vote GOP for the first time. He's not talking about converting lifetime GOP voters.

Zohran Mamdani’s win makes me very hopeful for other young progressive Democrats like @katmabu.bsky.social to start representing the people once again instead of AIPAC and other big money interests and billionaire tech broligarchs. Grassroots campaigning will win!

I noticed he's represented by red on the maps while cuomo is in blue. idk if these were maps from somewhere else, or by the campaign, but interesting that he goes with it anyway.

Thank you for posting these. Wish I still lived in Brooklyn instead of Long Island. I’d wait all day in line to vote for this amazing man. This is the energy & the polices this city needs. From the polls I’ve seen & pray are true he will be the next Mayor of NYC

I love this so much, and of course the whole time I'm wondering when he's going to address the blah blah blah about him, and then at the very end he does a bro slap with a young dude who is pretty evidently Jewish, and that's it. Very cool.

I like that he doesn't run away from issues, controversial or otherwise, he doesn't back away from supporting groups that are not trending positive through the Establishment's calculus - he just refuses to accept conservative talking points and instead reframes the narrative to where it should be

Republicans and establishment Dems are terrified of this guy. It's why they are trying to destroy him in advance. His saying this stuff from a soapbox as big as NYC will threaten a lot of comfortable seats and donor bases.
