Not a presidential election. Or a senate election. Or even a house election.

A mayoral election.

And this should scare the DNC?

Baloney.

They poured millions and million and massively outspent Zohran and still lost. Zohran had no name recognition, and was virtually a nobody in February. The establishment worked hard against him and still lost. They rolled out shameless endorsement of Cuomo after shameless endorsement (like Bill Clinton, apparently). The establishment didn’t lose for a lack of effort. This could happen anywhere next

Millions thrown away just so he can fold over.

The US PACs system is absolutely broken…

Oh goody, one good thing could happen anywhere while a million bad things could happen a million times in a million places.

You’re not gonna trick me into having hope over one dumb mayoral election. We’re too fucked for that to make a difference.

Hope does not mean blind hope. It does not mean you will always win. It means knowing that you can

Always try. No matter how hopeless it seems, you always have the possibility to win a seemingly impossible fight. This a shining example of overcoming and winning big

Giving up is a guaranteed loss. That is what they want us to do. Never give in

Fine, give up on hope universally. Just do it less vocally.

(That is to say, shut up)

Mayor of the biggest city in the nation is pretty damn important. Higher population than half the states in the nation. Most governors are small potatoes in comparison.

Oh you mean like Rudy Giuliani? Mayor of the biggest city? The Mayor of America?

Unless we’re going to back to polities like the ancient Greeks NYC thinks too highly of itself.

These are his policies:

rent freeze, making city buses free and raising taxes on the most wealthy

If this goes ahead in NY, you can be damn sure that it’s going to stir the pot.

I mean, yes? What point do you think you’re making here by bringing up someone who hasn’t been mayor for nearly 30 years?
