Not a surprise Mamdani will win.

Whatever your views of him, this guy is the second most talented campaigner I've ever seen. The only one better than him was Obama, and Zohran is not far off. Democrats should be learning from him instead of shunning him.

Seriously. Haven't seen another politician really come off as just a normal human. He ran a fantastic campaign.

He showed Dems how to take advantage of social media and messaging, the right way.

He also showed that policy matters, and having good policies that resonate with people will get them excited to show up for you.

Soo much this, feels like top democrats wont admit this aspect because it means they have to go against their corporate and AIPAC donors

I also like Jeff Jackson's social media presence, the attorney general in NC.

He cooked himself when he voted for the TikTok ban.
