INBOX: Henry Garrido, the executive director of District Council 37 #UnionStrong, says that Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s win is a “victory for all working class New Yorkers.” DC37, the largest union of city workers, was the only big establishment municipal union to back Mamdani, telling members to rank him #2.

Young Black voters were the best youth demographic for Zohran

Because their campaigns aren’t entirely built on the legacy of their last name

Now that Zohran Mamdani has won, it behooves the Left to remember the constraints of urban governance. I recommend everyone to read Walter Lippmann’s “On Municipal Socialism”, the greatest critique on the limits of urban governance yet written.

i think the only thing that could make democrats seem more out of touch right now is saying that they're not sure they can support the dude who just won a primary on a message of making nyc affordable for the working class.

Tell them what they love to tell us. Vote blue no matter who.

Congratulations to the fantastic More Perfect Union team on this well-deserved recognition. Their vital reporting details the realities that face working class Americans all across the country, stories that otherwise would never reach the halls of power. An enormous public service.

Democrats are so scared of winning it's crazy.

Democrats are terrified that the party's gonna get dragged down because a Democrat is running on the same program that the most popular Democrat ever to live ran on during the high water mark of Democratic political dominance.

"I have many critiques of capitalism, and I think ultimately the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is the words of Doctor King decades ago." #NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani on whether he likes capitalism in his interview with Erin Burnett.

Our statement on Kirsten Gillibrand racist and Islamaphobic remarks:

On Tuesday, New Yorkers delivered a mandate for a Mayor who puts working people first and makes this city affordable for all.

“His family said that Noviello had epilepsy and was on seizure medication. They had been working ‘painstakingly to make sure that he got his meds.’”

Chris is raging at people for being dissatisfied with avatars of the status quo, but the “real one” who raised him delivered one of the most famous, stirring rebuttals of Reagan’s hollow self-congratulation

With propaganda like this, showing Mamdani as direct opposition before he’s even elected, the conservatives are gonna help him win and don’t even realize it. I think that’s nice.

Between the expulsion of Hogg and the freakout over Mamdani, it seems Dems are responding to their problem with young men by saying "fuck you, we don't need your votes." Which is really an interesting strategy. We'll see how it works out.
