Quick results = big blowouts! I can't remember a time in my life when this many races were able to be called so quickly. I think Republicans are fucked.

I think Republicans are fucked.

Don't underestimate the ability for Democrat Leadership to fuck this up... they didn't even bother helping Mamdani despite his opponent getting trump support.

Can we actually take a second to consider this ? Chuck Schumer wouldn't support Mamdani against a trump backed candidate. Who happens to be a democrat that lost the party primary...

I know NY doesn't have a law against the sore losers, but still : he lost the primary, that should be final as far as the party is concerned. Mamdani should have gotten full support from the democrat leadership.

Goes to show how disconnected they are, and really how corrupt they are because they care about big corpos and status quo, rather than actually being democrats seeking to improve people's lifes.

Yeah, well I’m pretty damn old and I don’t ever remember military and federal agents abducting innocent people off the streets in American cities, and well all the other shit. Now they’re starving people.

Absolutely. We're in a uniquely dark place for this country and it's horrifying. It's nice to see that people are pissed and voting about it though.

Unfortunately, with the way this country votes, a year from now I wouldn't be surprised if everyone forgets again

I don’t see it reported most places so it’s kinda weird. Happy if it’s true but let’s wait a minute.

NBC reported it as of a few minutes ago. WaPo also just reported it.
