FINALLY!!
Zohran Mamdani Drags the Democratic Party Into the Future
This was a local race with national implications, whether the party’s leaders liked it or not.

Zohran Mamdani: one year ago, and tonight.
Stand for the people you hope to serve. They'll lift you up.

I've never been more invested in a mayoral race for a city I don't live in.
National fallout of electing someone who gives a fuck about his constituents: other people elsewhere in the country looking to elect individuals who give a fuck about them.
National Dem leadership: oh no
(I'm not linking to the hit MSNBC hit piece)
I've never been more invested in a mayoral race for a city I don't live in.
Today is the day, New York!

"If it be radicalism to believe that our natural resources should be used for the benefit of all, and not for the purpose of enriching just a few, then I plead guilty to the charge" --Vito Marcantonio
My brain is short-circuiting trying to figure out what I enjoy more - Adams getting roasted to his face in a way that he can't even defend ( #FuckEricAdams), or Cuomo sticking his foot in his mouth so badly that you can see the outline of his sole in the seat of his pants ( #FuckAndrewCuomo). It's quite the conundrum!

"UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward." --Zohran Mamdani

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.

Plus, a legislative special election in New Hampshire, and the possible comeback of Anthony Weiner. @taniel breaks down all the races so far and to come in June for @bolts
