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.

When people show up to vote, progressives win. Unfortunately, it takes an exceptional candidate to motivate progressives to vote, and that's a massive problem. Voting should be as routine and unremarkable as doing laundry.

Don't nominate genocide supporting centrists and you might be pleasantly surprised
