The synchronicity of Cuomo doing yet another TV spot talking about how dangerous the subway just before Mamdani goes, "Let's all ride public transport together and celebrate our love for this wonderful city we live in."

I believe this is what the DNC, roughly a year ago, would have called a Politics of Joy? Strange they're not getting behind it.

Mayor TikTok. A new generation is coming. I'm getting excited. They want the public space of Paris and the social health of Montreal.

I am also enjoying how much you are enjoying this!

It's so fun. Hits all of my interests - walking around the city and seeking out landmarks, being in community, excellent mobilization strategy, etc etc... love it.

I like to think this is the our collective interpretation of "the politics of joy" and it's fun to see

Whoever we want to beat Neolib Patrick Bateman needs to pick up Mamdani's social media team after the NYC election.

The candidate is who matters. The social media team has to have good raw material.

Mamdani’s campaign is neither fearful, nor fear based. It’s aspirational all the way, an ode to cities, and to the idea that we must thrive as one, and indeed deserve to.

YESSSSS!!!! Omg yes.

celebrating all there is to celebrate in this remarkable, beloved city

it's like he's campaigning for mayor by being the mayor... who's more mayor of NYC than he right now?

Mass mobilization is such a great thing to get people to practice and engage in.

It proves there can be joy in public service.

Please help us. We are being threatened with displacement from our place of residence to unknown places. We do not know where to go or where to live. Please help us. We do not have the money to rent a car to transport our belongings. Please help us, even if it is a small amount🥺💔

Please my dear friend please share my pinned post code 🙏

i really hope mamdami can endure the crucible of NYC mayorship and come out the same kind of leader. imagining his energy and leadership on a national stage is mindblowing. he would lay waste to oppo. the super tuesday SC stiff-arm of 2020 would’nt have mattered. i’m wishcasting.

I think this is really going to hinge on whether he can transition the volunteer/engagement apparatus he has built for campaigning toward governance. Imagine Hot Girls for Zohran -> Hot Girls go to their community board meetings, nag their city council reps. Make governance part of the movement.

mostly still clinging to the notion that our solutions to have a just society can be electoral, and not on the streets or others more militant means.

It's a TERRIBLE JOB that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

i’ll be rooting for him and his admin to do the right thing. we will see what happens. i think it’s a given at this point that he will, in fact, reach tammany hall

I believe in Mr Mamdani to unite the Five Boroughs as surely as Liu Bei united the common folks and the elites

And showing how New York is so NOT scary or in need of any help from the feds.

And it'll be a big news story.

"Could a crime-ridden hellhole do THIS?"

Exactly. Genius move, tbh. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Maga bullshit needs more sunlight on it and some campaigns get it!

They are SO MAD when not rich people have joy because they can't just buy it off of them.
