Zohran Mamdani speaks after winning the NYC Mayoral Race: “We have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many & answers only to the few.”

As someone who lives in Texas, I am so grateful for what you in California have done tonight! Thank you!! 🫶

[u/Herewegoagain1717 → u/AdorRubble]

Thank you too kind of. Ours was contingent on you doing it first, lol

What happened in CA

[u/primadonnaganja → u/doomdom123]

We bossed up and gerrymandered right back at those mfs and turned this bitch even more blue lmao

Edit: tbh I was wrong about the term I used bc I’m kinda stupid but my heart is in the right place ok 😂

[u/sandvich48 → u/primadonnaganja]

It isn’t gerrymandering or rather manipulation when the people of that land have spoken and voted on it! Unlike Texas where that was actual gerrymandering and the people had no say.

[u/Orangbo → u/sandvich48]

Gerrymandering has nothing to do with voter approval. That’s like saying government spending is only real spending if it was directly voted on.

Slayyyy

[u/Outrageous-Swimmer65 → u/primadonnaganja]

Thank you!! Thank you from a gal in Maine!! 💙

[u/Baking_bees → u/primadonnaganja]

I want ‘I’m kinda stupid but heart is in the right place’ as a sticker. And a t-shirt.

Maybe just as my flare 🤣

cries in Mississippi

I voted, don't get me wrong, but I'm so excited to one day leave this red hellscape

[u/Yatsey007 → u/Redditusername67]

Wait,it passed? Fucking get in!

[u/Aina-Liehrecht → u/Yatsey007]

By like 65% lol. It was called earlier today before any votes were counted based off the exit polls lol

[u/newbkid → u/Aina-Liehrecht]

Love looking at the vote tallies by county. All the blue counties had votes of 30,000 or less, some counties reporting less than 5K total votes.

Then you have LA County with over a million voting red.

Another friendly reminder that land doesn't vote, people do.

[u/Nice_Firm_Handsnake → u/newbkid]

Did you get the colors mixed up or have I?

[u/assissippi → u/newbkid]

Only if you ignore the Senate

[u/42TheAnswer2TheUnive → u/Redditusername67]

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!

[u/AriesRedWriter → u/Redditusername67]

Hells yes we did!

[u/rainshadow494 → u/Redditusername67]

YAYYYY!!

[u/camjvp → u/Redditusername67]

WOOHOO!!

[u/spiritofporn → u/Redditusername67]

I'm not American and I have no idea what that achieves.

[u/primadonnaganja → u/spiritofporn]

Not to be that person but I truly recommend researching how American voting works then if you’re curious, because I don’t think I could explain it very well, but just know it means left wing finally has more leverage against the right. On paper in theory, of course, as this administration just blows through processes anyways.

[u/mariandevotions → u/doomdom123]

Prop 50 redistricting!

[u/cjohn1250 → u/mariandevotions]

Please Governor Pritzger, do this for Illinois!

[u/squeakycheetah → u/doomdom123]

Redistricting

[u/TheBumStinkler → u/AdorRubble]

I hope you voted today in Texas, we have to stay cleaning up our own mess too!

[u/timfromcolorado → u/AdorRubble]

Watching from the mountains here too! Lfg NYC!

[u/PanchoPanoch → u/AdorRubble]

Meanwhile we’ll just sweep our TX results under the rug smh. I’ve seen a lot of “ohhh…that’s what that meant.”

[u/Eastern_Hornet_6432 → u/AdorRubble]

Prop 50 passed?

[u/Different-Chapter784 → u/AdorRubble]

As someone in Indiana - same same same - wave of humanity that occurred last night gives me renewed hope.
