I believe the types of public signals to the sector he points to here have direct ramifications beyond the US.
The left-most candidate – who was endorsed by AOC, Bernie and the Working Families Party – won the congressional primary, and the NYT is spinning it as a loss for Mamdani’s politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/u...

I am so confused. Do they know about this? Surely they wouldn’t do it if they know. A mistake surely?

The democratic socialist @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has beaten Cuomo and is now the Democrats’ nominee for Mayor of NYC, de facto Mayor-Elect. Democrats and liberals serious about defeating illiberalism better pay attention. There is a model for organizing the majority and saving democracy. 1/7
