Mayor says progressive peers who swept primaries speak to Americans ‘coast to coast’ as moderates have reservations

Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, said on Sunday that he and a slew of democratic socialist allies who prevailed in recent primary elections are carrying a “national message” to struggling working Americans hungry for a new kind of politics “coast to coast”.

Mamdani made that triumphant clarion call on ABC News’s This Week just five days after he had seen his endorsed candidates win Democratic nominations in three races for New York congressional seats, as well as for five state legislature positions in Albany. He made no effort to disguise his delight that his clean sweep marks a dramatic shift in Democratic politics – not just in New York City, which he has led since January, but also across the US.

He said that collectively they were carrying a “New Deal understanding” of Democratic politics to Congress and on to the “national stage”. It spoke, he said, to Americans feeling exhaustion at struggling to make ends meet “every single day”.

    Hey you! Keep breathing.

    There, now if you keep breathing then you’re only doing it because I told you to. I can’t believe you would surrender your own free will to me that easily. What, do you really expect me to believe it was just a coincidence that you kept breathing after I told you to? What a brainless sheep.

      This is a sad attempt to misinterpret was I was saying entirely. And since you’re going through this whole thread harrassing me about every comment, you’re being blocked now. Goodbye.

        Not even a little bit. It’s the same flawed logic you’re using.

        And I’m not harassing you. Just because you’re so wrong that a bunch of people tell you you’re wrong, and they don’t relent even when you double-down about how right you think you are and how everyone else is the dumbass, doesn’t mean the people disagreeing with you are harassing you.

        Go ahead and block me though, that’s just one less dumbass I have to encounter on the fediverse.
