The only bad photo of Mamdani that I have seen up til now is the one Time magazine picked to put on its cover.

Mamdani on the cover of time magazine looking a bit threatening.

Even that one isn't that bad. Better than any photo of me that exists.

It may not look like he’s about to address the UN General Assembly, but it definitely looks like his set just absolutely killed at Gotham.

Idk; it certainly isn't the most aesthetically flattering photo - but showcasing a $65 Casio A700WM-7AVT does nothing if not burnish working-class cred - particularly in contrast to the Omegas & Pateks seen on the wrists of other politicians 🤷🏼‍♂️

Can we talk about the Casio watch?? That's how he's appealing to GenXers like me!

And also, to be clear, I like his policies and his style of politics.

I feel like it was no accident that it was peeking out of his cuff.

I think what freaks out the Mamdani haters is 1) he is not "white" but hard to fit into another ethnic group 2) naturally likeable 3) young and energetic 4) not obviously beholden to special interests and way down the list is his political views.

He is hard to define and therefore hard to demean. None of the usual lazy insults or slurs fits or sticks. It enrages MAGA and the usual NY politicos
