Zohran Mamdani Proves That Power Belongs to the People In a rebuke to cynical Democratic insiders and the New York Times editorial page, voters backed a democratic socialist for mayor of the nation's largest city.

You are allowed to demand more than we are getting right now— and you deserve more too.
