First, it’s important for people to understand that democratic governance is compromise. At least when elected officials play by the rules (cough, Trump/GOP).

Second, I don’t think Mamdani was ever going to turn. NYC into a “socialist paradise,” like all the rich/right-wing/centrist Chicken Littles warned. The best he can hope to do is pull the state party back to the left. Maybe find some success with progressive policies and open the door for more progressive candidates.

Democrats have been trying for so long to get the mythical “moderate Republican” vote that they’ve effectively become the centrist party, and it’s allowed the GOP to move further and further to the right to where Tea Partiers are now the moderates! It’s good to see a true progressive win a major election, even if it is NYC (the city did also elect Rudy & Bloomberg to the post).

Man, fuck you.
