Mamdani getting elected and spending a year on extremely popular projects helped Dems everywhere imo.
He was supposed to be on the new Mount Rushmore of scary liberals. Saw him on lots of attack mailers. Didn't scare people at all.
When I sat down w Mamdani during the 2025 primary he said his model was Bernie in Burlington - the "ooh, scary socialist" mayor who capitalizes on all the attention he gets and makes civic improvements so it stops being scary. And so far that's clearly worked. semafor.com/article/06/12/20…

Nuance aside, one way to look at last night is to say that the entire country resoundingly rejected everything the tech world has come to stand for. You can grieve, you can rage, you can fight, you can move to space, or you can grapple with that.
Abolishing the electoral college by way of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact wouldn’t be a bad way to start 2027.

May every city suffering under fascist, repressive political conditions have the same experience.
May the Mamdani-effect ripple across our country and into 2028 when my congresswoman becomes our next president.

Honking and cheers in downtown Austin so loud we can hear it from the 17th floor. Feels like a revolution just took place.

The first batch out of Denton was one cue we were looking for to see if this would be an early night or a late night, and it's looking like an early night
