Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.

40 POINTS!

And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity.

All the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.

Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

Agreed. I'm excited for Mamdani and New York.

I've seen some really annoying commentary (looking at you, NYT) claiming that Democratic wins are a result of "moving away from the Democratic party's far-left policies". Bullhockey.

To me, it looks far more like both major parties have been captured by corporate money for many years (and the GOP by vicious authoritarians), and these Democratic wins reflect people choosing candidates who want justice and equity.

I don't think a third party has any chance in the US, but an insurgent takeover of the Democratic party by people with actual democratic ideals is seeming increasingly possible.

(Always assuming that we still have meaningful elections going forward.)

@n1xnx @QasimRashid In any other part of the world, the Democratic party would not be considered left, let alone far-left.

@n1xnx @QasimRashid Most attempts at “moving away from the Democratic party’s ’far left’ policies,” are either vapid and empty or at best Eisenhower Republicanism.
