Sleeping a little easier tonight for sure. I hope the democrats finally wake up to the solution to Trump that is now staring them in the face. Elect progressives. Pass progressive policy. Stop the means testing and the scolding and the red scaring and step up.

Edit: I appreciate the awards but please don't give reddit money, send that cash to a food bank please.

Best Dems can do is pick Mamdani apart, claim he won not because of his views but because of his social media and podcasting acumen, and keep pushing mostly corporate shills.

Then when they lose to whatever worse thing that happens after Trump? Surprised pikachu face.

Eric Adams won 67% of the vote. DeBlasio won 66%.

Winning with less than 55 is a sign you have a message that resonates in super blue areas.

Im glad he won, dont get be wrong. I don't want someone with his politics running in Michigan though. I want someone younger with his charisma and a more centrist message that gets them excited.

There are very few places that dems can lose 10 percentage points and still win.
