Zohran Mamdani Wins Democratic Primary For NYC Mayor
It feels so crazy to get such great news when the world is still basically shit everywhere else, but what a fantastic story out of NYC, where Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani has won the mayoral primary and will almost certainly be elected in the general election this November. Disgraced sexual predator and grandma killer Andrew Cuomo, who had been favored to win the primary up until last week, has just called Mamdani to concede.
Via TheCityNYC:
Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is on track to secure the Democratic nomination for mayor, after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded to him Tuesday night following the first round of ranked-choice primary votes.
With 89% of precincts reporting in the hour after polls closed at 9 p.m., 44% ranked Mamdani as their first choice while 36% chose Cuomo first and 11% city Comptroller Brad Lander.
In this ranked-choice primary election, Lander cross-endorsed Mamdani as his number-two pick, meaning that many voters who selected Lander are likely to send additional votes to Mamdani in the final tally.

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

The fact that a pig like Cuomo—who had to resign as governor after being accused of sexual assault—came so close to a “comeback” tells you just how evil and brain-rotted so many American voters are (hello, they already reelected the orange rapist), but at the end of the day, it’s inspiring that Mamdani pulled out the win, which is being called the biggest upset in political history that’ll have ramifications for the Democratic party nationwide. In short: All the worthless and corrupt dinosaurs (Schumer, Pelosi, Clyburn) better be prepared to pack their bags when another Mamdani comes along who can energize young voters in their respective districts and states.
Hope is not naive when you have a vision and a movement behind it. Hope is in fact righteous.
This is the dawn of a new era in New York City. And we will win it together. pic.twitter.com/Hj2buYNN8Z
