Yeah, exactly… He won and didn’t take a break, he kept the momentum up
The day after his victory, he got on stage and laid out his game plan. For the next few months he’s building out his staff and meeting with key people… Which is boring, but that is how you get an agenda passed
Normal politicians would be doing a victory lap, he’s using the energy of a big win to build his narrative
Politics move on momentum and stories. It’s ok to believe in things, and in people, in fact it’s necessary if we don’t want to continue to let the world rot around us
I agree, it’s a good sign. Mamdani won, in part, because of the insane level of grassroots support he had. In concrete terms, that means having lots of regular people help you by knocking on doors and helping you make inroads to their local community. Whilst the kind of work that it takes to get someone elected is super different to what would help when someone is in office, so far I am hopeful that Mamdani will be able to continue working with and leveraging the grassroots support he has. For that, keeping up momentum is useful.
