Hey, I actually voted for Mamdani! I live in Brooklyn and the support was there for him. There were people canvassing until the last day . Don’t want to give away too too much info on here, but to see him win and be able to overcome all the hate and Islamophobia is really inspiring. I’m also a first gen immigrant, and when I came here as a toddler I didn’t know any English. I’m glad he’s demonstrating that this is our city too, we will it to run, we do the dirty jobs, see the unseen, clean the filth, care for the old and sick only not to be seen as essential. Personally I’m not Muslim, but I’ve always had respect for the values of the religion. When I read The alchemist by Paulo Cuelho (the first time) it was amazing to realize that people could truly be bound to do good by religion. NYC has always been a melting pot, and it shouldn’t be run by someone who doesn’t see and appreciate that. Anyways, know that your hope and my hope are the same. Come January we’ll begin and see if there is still something worth fighting for. We really are only at the precipice.





Hey, do you think your parents dropped you on purpose or by mistake? It’s almost embarrassing for me to see you not understand what’s being explained so carefully to you.
