Why Focusing on the Democrats Misses a Meaningful Lesson From Mamdani’s Win

This video was posted shortly after #MamdaniForMayorNYC's primary win...so the fact that I'm linking to it now that #ZohranMamdani is preparing to take office as Democratic #MayorMamdani can be taken to be something of a provocation -- especially in light of recent news about his meetings and appointments.
But I think it is more important than ever that we understand what Stoermer is saying here as we try to #UnderstandMamdani and his wider political significance.

This City Belongs to You.

On January 1st I will be sworn in as the mayor of New York City...and that is because of you!

You showed that when politics speaks to you without condescension we can usher in a new era of leadership.

New York, this power: it's yours. This city belongs to you.
Thank you!

Trump voters for Mamdani and a new left coalition: the biggest surprises from New York’s election

An interview with Michael Lange

He built the coalition that the left always wanted to build: it’s multiracial, it’s young, it’s renters and it’s people squeezed by affordability. He improved considerably with Black and Hispanic voters, working- and middle-class voters, compared to the primary. Plus he further maximized his base of liberal progressives, young leftists, and Muslims and south Asians. He couldn’t have won without making those significant inroads.
...
Turnout was significantly higher than I had expected. I thought we might go over 2 million, but it’s closer to 2.3 million – that is a lot of darn voters. There was a decent anti-Mamdani block, who were motivated, but the Mamdani base was also motivated, and that was enough to win.
...
every city in America can have their own commie corridor. Urban places are the epicenters of leftwing power in America – because they’re young, people rent and they are places where people are crushed by the inequalities we face.

Zohran Mamdani: “Hope Is Alive”

Jacobin magazine has published the full text of #MamdaniForMayorNYC's acceptance speech:

...while we cast our ballots alone, we chose hope together. Hope over tyranny. Hope over big money and small ideas. Hope over despair. We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves to hope that the impossible could be made possible. And we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do.

This new age will be defined by a competence and a compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another. We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.

Together, we will usher in a generation of change. And if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.

Trump THREATENS NYC Voters Over Zohran

We have had months, now, to observe how difficult (one could say bewildering) a time the most established, most traditional members of the Democratic party have had in responding to the phenomenon of #MamdaniForMayorNYC

Now that he shows every sign of becoming #MayorMamdani it is becoming increasingly evident that the Republican party (and, especially, Donald Trump) fails even more spectacularly to #UnderstandMamdani

Hell Gate -- Mayoral Spew:

Here We Goooooooooooo!

Election Day is almost upon us, Zohran is in the clubs, and his supporters are planning a permanent campaign to advance his agenda in office.

THE LEFT IS THINKING ABOUT 'THE DAY AFTER TUESDAY'

According to Alicia Singham Goodwin, the political director of JFREJ, a big part of the left's role will be putting a spotlight on the forces that are trying to thwart Mamdani's agenda.

"We will have to learn how to really dig deep to identify our targets. Who is actually blocking progress? It's easy when that's someone in elected office. We know where to find them. But now that we'll be the ones in office, there's going to be big business, billionaires, and others who actually have a lot more power than politicians," Goodwin said. "So if we don't know their names already, we need to find them out and subvert the power they have in New York."

The Kitchen Tables Behind Mamdani’s Kitchen-Table Strategy

Staging sites aren’t new to political campaigns, but they’ve never been done like this before.

Staging hosts have already helped power historic voter turnout, reshaping the electoral map of the city.

These sites solve many of the practical problems that come with deploying nearly 100,000 volunteers to canvassing sites around the city in four days (free storage space! reliable WiFi! bathrooms!), but the hosts I spoke to described the experience on a deeper level, in terms that reflected the Mamdani ethos of neighborly solidarity and political possibility.

How Zohran Mamdani Beat Citizens United

The New York City mayoral candidate used an undervalued political strategy to battle against dark money.

Ahead of the closely watched New York City mayoral race, everyone is looking for a lesson from progressive Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani’s rise to political stardom. The real answer may be a vastly undervalued political strategy: public money. Could public financing of elections overcome Citizens United and the flood of corporate cash and corruption in American politics?

Europe’s left flocks to New York to take notes on Mamdani’s meteoric rise

Several European left-wing officials said they had been in contact with members of #ZohranMamdani’s campaign in New York in the hope of emulating his success in future local elections.

The Greens candidate for Paris mayor, David Belliard, said Mamdani’s success in appealing to voters worried about the cost of living, an issue plaguing Parisians as well as New Yorkers, had confirmed his suspicion that his party needed to run a more progressive campaign after spending more than two decades as a junior coalition partner to center-left mayors in the French capital who have done more to make the city greener than cheaper.

“We’ve spent a lot of time fighting against the end of the world, but maybe not enough helping people make it to the end of the month,” Belliard said.

Cuomo: Cognitive Decline or Prevarication?

You be the judge

There was a tense moment during Andrew M. Cuomo’s brief news conference in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, when Inna Vernikov, a local Republican councilwoman, started insulting Zohran Mamdani as she focused on his relatively short resume.

“Mamdani is a 32-year-old kid who has never had a job in his life, he has never passed a meaningful piece of legislation,” said Vernikov, misstating Mamdani’s actual age of 34. “Aside from the fact that he is a communist and an anti-Semite, he has no idea what he’s doing.”

Asked by a reporter whether he agreed with Vernikov’s contention that Mamdani was an antisemite and a communist, Cuomo demurred. “I don’t believe the council member said that,” Cuomo said. “Antisemitism is a problem in New York City.”

Vernikov flashed a brief smile after Cuomo deflected the question. He went on to characterize Mamdani as a “socialist.”

My intrepid and committed wife, who has been on "polling place visibility" duty at our neighborhood site since 6 am, reports that traffic has been remarkably light. Since we have tended to vote early in past elections she has a general idea of how big a crowd to expect at that time of day -- so her impression has some weight.
