No one expected that a political newcomer, let alone a socialist Muslim immigrant, could knock off a political heavyweight like Andrew Cuomo. But that’s exactly what Zohran Mamdani did yesterday in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, and it’s sending shockwaves through the political establishment. My write-up on the upset in today’s piece, link in the replies.

He ran a near perfect campaign and did what Dems need to do to win: get out into the neighborhoods and listen to people - not preach at them.
The only sure way to get around broligarch social media and cable is to interact with voters one to one. Dumping a ton of cash on TV and social media ads did not work for Cuomo. We need to learn from this election campaign. Precinct work isn't rocket science.
