There is a hunger for bold, transformative politics in the United States right now. Zohran Mamdani shows how the Left can run on a principled, disciplined message that speaks to voters’ lived concerns — and win.
I’m not doubting all that stuff is great if Mamdami can make it happen. I’m skeptical that he can make it happen, based on having seen this kind of thing before. Heck, he hasn’t even won the mayoral election yet. I’d give him 50% chance of becoming mayor, based on remembering Lieberman for Connecticut. As for the other stuff, it’s all vague enough to make it easy to claim victory, at least based on what you’ve posted here. So I’d want to see definite success criteria based on measurable results.
