This is exactly what establishment Democrats and AIPAC were afraid of. Not Mamdani himself, as mayor of NYC, but a normalization of more progressive candidates.

I love it. Be prepared for the massive media campaign though. If we thought the smear against Mamdani was bad, if he wins the general it's going to be a frenzy.

Hopefully this results in a continuation of the social awakening, and the illusion that mainstream media resembles anything close to actual journalism is completely shattered at last.
