Yesterday, self-described 'democratic socialist' Zohran Mamdani sent shockwaves through Wall Street as he won the New York mayoral race in the heart of American capitalism. The main question now is how Mamdani delivers in the fight against the billionaires.
I mean, he basically had both parties, the president, all the billionaires, and the whole media apparatus working against him, and yet he proved that people like policy-focused progressives, getting more votes than any nyc mayor in like 20 years or something like that (I forget the actual number)
He did not have much competition

I’d say that was pretty good competition
I doubt someone else would have won. His campaign was truly unique.
