Had Mamdani lost, the framing would've been how Cuomo's run to the center/right should be a model for Dems nationwide.

But since Mamdani won, the framing is that his victory should only be understood in context of highly specific local election with little to no carryover for Dems nationwide.

Just got back from the Chicago Public Library, where I picked up a book that was transported to my local branch two days after I requested it.

Public libraries are miracles.

You can find both books and happiness there.

The way you know this is a sincere argument is because he made it for the first time in retrospect

I didn't do my due diligence whenever I become interested in someone: asking for nudes.

I am well adjusted and people like me.

There should be a term limit of some number of terms but if you can get enough people to support you in some sort of pre-election election you could get basically an exemption that qualifies you for the more general election.

Dick Durbin, who is retiring at the end of his term, voted yes.

Illinois deserves so much better.

He should resign.

Unironically yes! Cut some promos. Demonstrate that blood pumps through their veins. I realize this is difficult when half the caucus has one foot in the grave, but still. There are worse ways to go out that suffering a heart attack at 81 while defending liberal democracy.

Saying this a few days after 7,000,000 people protesting hardly got covered by the NYT, but: Dems need more spectacle. Do stunts. Be in the world.
