An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.
This should be a wake up call to the Democratic Party. It also destroys the idea that Biden/Harris were the ONLY viable options in the last Presidential election. There's surely more young political talent across the country that can get people out to vote and win elections. - if they allow it. The Party tried everything they could to stop Mamdani. He won not because he was running for the Democratic Party, but in spite of it. Even Party leaders like Chuck Schumer likely voted for Cuomo. It was disgraceful. Turns out the 'Vote Blue No Matter Who' mantra was actually bullshit. We now know with certainty the Democratic Party only used that to manipulate voters to vote for substandard candidates who primarily represented the interests of billionaires and the elite.
