Matt BlazeI have no idea whether Mamdani will make a good mayor, which is a significant improvement over his rivals.
Tinker ☀️
Ben Thompson 🐕@mattblaze Excellent. Must save that one for future use.
Khleedril@mattblaze All politics is the same: you just have to choose the least worst option.
Heidi Li Feldman
scrottie (he/him/they)@mattblaze I hear ya but also kinda seems like the opposition to the controlled opposition is also controlled sometimes.
Adam Katz@mattblaze he has to defeat Cuomo again in the main election and Cuomo will be backed by even more corporate money in November.
Yvonne ‘looks undocumented’@adamhotep @mattblaze I saw one person’s comment that the racism and xenophobia will be off the charts before November. 🤬
Jennifer@adamhotep @mattblaze that didn't seem to work in the primary.
jordan@mattblaze probably depends on how much the old guard fights him and gets in the way of his agenda.
~* Sarah 🇨🇦@mattblaze if the centrist Dems wanted a centrist candidate to win, they should have at least picked someone who hasn't sexually harassed a dozen women to rally behind.
Susi Arnott@mattblaze Only just catching on to this story - but hey https://bird.makeup/users/zohrankmamdani/statuses/1927436841252168111
Mike McCaffrey 
@mattblaze @joycebell I'm interested in seeing what exciting new crimes this New York mayor gets up to! Hopefully, something cool like civil disobedience, and not the usual things like corruption and eating pizza with a fork.
John Colagioia@mattblaze I don't live in the city itself, but I do have to appreciate that the options are basically a horse-racing lineup.
- Under Trump's Thumb
- Literal Vigilante
- Disgraced Sex Pest (unless he actually goes home, for once)
- Muslim Socialist
...And somehow we live in a world where this is a contest.
