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.

@QasimRashid In the words of Scalzi.

"If what the DNC and others in the Democratic party, and the general pundit class, are taking away from Mamdani’s win is oh, no, a Muslim socialist rather than looking at the mechanics of how he won and won a fucking majority of votes in a mayoral election with the largest turnout in decades, then they are stupid and need to stand aside and let others lead."

Thoughts From an Off-Off-Year Election, 2025

Well, that was an evening, wasn’t it. Zohran Mamdani won decisively in NYC, of course, and that was the headline event in terms of optics, but then there was everything else, that went the De…

@baishen @QasimRashid

They are not stupid. Please, please stop assuming this is some kind of foolish mistake.

They know damn well that socialism is a deadly threat to their purse strings. They are actively, maliciously, and deliberately trying to not only avoid, but outright sabotage and destroy the strategies that would get huge voter support.

Helping people and curbing the abuses of big moneyed interests are anathema to these assholes. They don't WANT to win. They want to hamstring us and feed us to the fascists, on purpose.

@violetmadder @QasimRashid Scalzi talks about that in the blog post. How Dems campaign to not lose instead of to win. People are demanding more and leadership needs to understand that or GTFO.
