Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.
Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.

Lovely news to wake up to, thanks.
My country’s (very politically aligned) public news station described Mamdani as “communist” and “anti-Semitic”.
I am always a bit disgusted by Italian public service news station, this one was particularly telling at how biased it can be.
TG2, right? The other day they were saying that there was no genocide at all in Gaza, just “extremely targeted attacks against terrorists”
It’s so extremely targeted that it kills kids before they can become terrorist… /s
Pre-targeted strikes
I think you dropped a letter
Pre-K-targeted strikes
🤣🤣
Hopefully it should give you some insight into who that news station is meant to serve.
Here’s a hint: it’s not the public.
“Trump signs executive order that Cuomo actually won and that Dick Cheney is still alive.”
M-A-M-D-A-N-I-!
You should learn how to pronounce it!
The first thing my conservative acquaintance wrote was “I hope you re ready for another 9-11” because now its coming" They are really scared eh
Yet conservatives get mad about Kirk jokes and wonder why they get kicked off platforms.
Why do you have conservative acquaintances?
Because thats what adults do, they are capable of communicating and being near people with different values and opinions.
“if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”
The “acquaintance” needs a punch in the fucking face and a goodbye.
Billionaire will = thwarted
Billionaire funding = wasted
We have a long slog ahead of us. But today was a good day.
Amen, brother/sister
I don’t actually think he will do that much due to how stacked the powers are against him, but I think he has shown to the powers that be how reviled they are, and how they need to start playing ball with progressives if they want to win votes again
My mother, the only family that I have left that I will talk to sent me a text asking if any other cities will have a “radical Islamist” mayor. I ignored it because I could not find the words to explain that what she described isn’t a thing without destroying the one connection to my family I have left.
“You really will believe anything they tell you”
Has 24-hour TV news cycle running in the background during phone calls
Fox News isn’t TV news…
I mean we do too. We rely on information on the internet, which could all be fake. And that’s worrying me, actually. Have we been there in person? No? Then how do we know, actually?
Just like in science, you delegate your trust to experts in their field as reputable sources of information, since you yourself are not an expert
Your only responsibility is to locate such sources, rare though they may be. Always look at the URL of a news source, and if it’s not one you recognize, ignore the headline.
sounds like picking-your-side to me
“radical Islamist”
Lol “radical islamist” who supports LGBT rights?
(actual “radical islamists” would be anti LGBT)
Yes just like radical Christians, radical Muslims don’t like anything gay, female etc. There is a reason in some Middle Eastern countries women can’t go outside without a man “protecting” them.

Drop that nazi bitch and find a better family.
It’s always strange to me whenever I hear people describe their relationships with their family members the way you would describe an ongoing argument with a troll baiting you in a youtube comments’ section.
I mean… she sent that to you apropos of nothing? Not even “How are the kids/How’s your job”? Just to get a reaction out of you?
I don’t understand modern-day American nuclear “family” dynamics at all…
I’m so sorry about that.
Happy to see the Cuomo campaign fail and waste all that $$$ in the process. Fuck him
Love to see that Silwa did in fact split the conservative vote, but Mamdani would’ve won anyway.
Welp time to see Trump flail his arms and cry like the man child he is
His diapers are gonna be ground zero all day today
Trump: Ha, that’s my secret Mr Stark… My diapers are always full!
Congratulations to Americans and new yorkers in particular! Hoping real change for quality of life succeeds
If they would let him get to work it would be great, unfortunately a lot of his energy in the first year will be fighting off Trump and other billionaires trying to remove him or throw roadblocks in his way.
At least he’s not alone. Seems newsom has been battening down the hatches quite fine already on how to fight back
Mayor ≠ Governor of a state
It’s gonna be a different fight
Andrew Cuomo FaD 854,995 wtf new york? that’s 900k too many
Yep, some people hate muslims, socialism, stuff like that.
I’d also wager a number of republicans voted for Cuomo to try and block Mamdani
10 bucks says a lot of that was bum-ass
east jerseyStaten island.Ay, shut it. Jersey remains solid blue. Everyone thought Jersey was going to be a close race and then it wasn’t.
Read my comment again, bud.
Typical jersey, always gotta be the center of attention. 😂
It’s hilarious as a Canadian, I’ve never been to NY but all the way back to watching shows like Seinfeld and other shows from back in the day based in NY, they all talk about Staten Island like it’s a whole different breed of crazy over there.
There’s just so many tears, we need more bottles to catch them all! Cuomo and his crooked donors alone are just zombie walking with mascara running down their face right now.
As someone who lived post 9/11 and saw what the Muslim community went through, this is wild and super cool
I started the day with the news that Dick Cheney is dead. Now I’m ending it with news that Zohran Mamdani is mayor. It’s been the best day in a long, long time.
And California passed prop 50!
This will potentially negate Texas’s gerrymandering attempts as thiswill gain up to five house seats for the democrats, and Texas’s bullshit (which required NO vote) also gains up to five seats.
Get fucked, Texas. Fuck you. Good on you, New York. Fuck Trump.
And California passed prop 50!
Wooooooooo!🍾
Hold up, vice president headshots died? Howd I miss that?
So few people cared about him that nobodys talking about it.
Today most people I’ve seen online were “THE BASTARD IS DEAD, MARGARET THATCHER CAN FUCK HIM IN THE ASS IN HELL”
Except it’s been talked about everywhere all day. And I’m not even American.
I can only get so erect.
Prop 50 passed in California
Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.
why the fuck are they in bath tubs
Look at this guy pretending he hasn’t seen two homeless people racing each other down a ramp in old bathtubs.
Let people enjoy things, sheesh
Why aren’t you?
Mutual jorking
G rated sexytimes implications
Especially their own separate tubs
If I remember the 90s/00s commercial, it’s advertising that cilalis is there when you’re ready for up to 36 hours. So you can enjoy other sensual experiences for the build up. In this case the couple is enjoying a romantic soak as they watch the sun set before sexy time.
Dick died on erection day
archer reference? :p
I don’t believe in prayer, but only an errant McNugget could make this day better.
