New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was on the brink of a stunning Democratic primary win Tuesday for New York City mayor, with his top challenger, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, conceding the race.
They poured millions and million and massively outspent Zohran and still lost. Zohran had no name recognition, and was virtually a nobody in February. The establishment worked hard against him and still lost. They rolled out shameless endorsement of Cuomo after shameless endorsement (like Bill Clinton, apparently). The establishment didn’t lose for a lack of effort. This could happen anywhere next
It’s 1933 and hitler is gonna take over the world and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. nazis are gonna win, might as well give up. They can never be defeated
Hope does not mean blind hope. It does not mean you will always win. It means knowing that you can
Always try. No matter how hopeless it seems, you always have the possibility to win a seemingly impossible fight. This a shining example of overcoming and winning big
Giving up is a guaranteed loss. That is what they want us to do. Never give in
Politics is one of those claw games where they rig it to barely be able to win. Just enough that you keep shoving quarters into it, but not so much that you get something you actually want.
Except I’m forced to play and get berated when I say it’s a stupid game designed to frustrate you.

Millions thrown away just so he can fold over.
The US PACs system is absolutely broken…
Oh goody, one good thing could happen anywhere while a million bad things could happen a million times in a million places.
You’re not gonna trick me into having hope over one dumb mayoral election. We’re too fucked for that to make a difference.

Fine, give up on hope universally. Just do it less vocally.
(That is to say, shut up)
