As a Muslim, Nesrine Malik writes,
"Mamdani has shown how prejudice is rarely about individuals, but the fear that marginalised minority views could ever become powerful majority ones. In this mayoral race, from Palestine to local policing, anti-Muslim hate is not just a repellent phenomenon confined to Mamdani, it is a barricade against the desires of the voting public. Once people start making that connection, it really is over."
Michael Tomasky on why Mamdani apppeals to so many, and scares the bejasus out of the Democratic establishment:
"He told some very simple truths. He said: You’re getting screwed. And it’s not some invisible and undefinable hand of God that’s screwing you. It’s specific actors, and the politicians who are their handmaidens."
