Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.

Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.

    “if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

    The “acquaintance” needs a punch in the fucking face and a goodbye.

      You do realize that having witty quotes doesnt change anything right? It might be rhetorically effective at face value, but there is no value other than hate at display here.

          Not every conservative is a MAGA cultist nor a nazi, it’s ok to have friends and acquaintances with different political views and belief systems from yourself. You’re doing the “everyone I disagree with is a nazi” thing.

            Not every conservative is a MAGA cultist nor a nazi,

            Never said they were.

            it’s ok to have friends and acquaintances with different political views and belief systems from yourself

            Unless their beliefs say that others are lesser, or wrong, like LGBTQ people shouldn’t exist.

            You’re doing the “everyone I disagree with is a nazi” thing.

            Really not though, not sure how you think that is the case
