Zohran's success in NYC is a testament to the power of campaign finance reform measures like public funding having a real world impact. Whatever you think of him, it's clear he's despised by the political establishment on both sides, which should be a positive indication to normal voters.

If you want anti-establishment candidates, then there's only one big takeaway from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's ascent. The rest of the media chatter about the lessons of his campaign aims to distract you from the one thing that the oligarchy most fears & that was the biggest factor in his success.

It's evidence that the implementation of such policies can in fact clear the way for independent minded outsiders to succeed. No election is a given of course, but honest candidates are given a real shot. Such a policy at the federal level would lead to immense congressional turnover in short order
