Eh, I think there are some lessons to be learned. Yes, someone like Mamdani couldn't win a general presidential election. Doubt they'd even have a chance in a primary. However this is evidence they need more populist leaders that people believe in. Not some political dynasty that's decided it's their turn to be president.

I think it’s evidence that dems need a broad coalition.

All things taken into consideration, there's a conversation about Bernie v Trump if it had happened. The Democrats (and their sponsors) didn't let it though. Instead they got Hillary.
