This is beautiful. Thank you for it.

🎯🎯🎯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hope this is the beginning of a pushback against the horribleness of the last decade plus. Respect and civic responsibility matters. It’s either that or the abyss.

i'm not a new yorker but from my outside perspective, this seems to be the kind of thing that the city is all about - people of virtually every background imaginable working together, diligently, empathetically, and cleverly, for a better city and a better tomorrow

Ditto, on all aspects you mention.

Human Decency, Now! It should be on a tshirt. :-)

this is true

Love it!

This is so true. And the world really wants a sign of liberal (small L) democratic life still here in America. Well done

We’re about to see levels of Islamophobia not seen since the 2000s.

Congratulations 🎉 Once Zohran is Mayor I'm sure he'll have Brad as his right hand man

SOMEONE needs to

Hell yeah!💪💪💪💪💪

Two guys who love their city and the people in it 🥹

This does give us some hope. Democrats always swing to the middle to try to win elections. Perhaps they should be swinging further left.

Aside from the political implications for this relationship, the fact that Mamdani and Lander can not only work together but support and respect each other gives hope as well as inspiration.

Only Christianesque, white, majority culture randos with no discernible culture of their own say things like this.

Same! ---signed a longtime resident of both Chicago and Los Angeles, so I can't help but also feel like NY is home because they're together the trifecta of biggest cities.

Same!

Thanks!

That’s one of the positive side effects of ranked choice voting - candidates benefit from cooperating with other similar candidates and their supporters rank the similar candidate second. They don’t take votes from each other as in traditional voting.

“like”

After watching Mamdani's speech, I am absolutely convinced that he will win the general in November, and that NYC mayor will not be the highest office he reaches in his political career.

This is us!!!!

It demonstrates empathy over cynicism and that those who are authentic and genuinely care for their constituents will prevail. It’s time to bring back compassion and virtue and shun the vicious and selfish.

Great point!

From afar it feels like the combo of who these candidates are and the ranked voting mattered. Yes?

TY NY for showing us how it's done. Hopefully the rest of us will follow your lead. I <3 New York!
