Nope, you're replying to the wrong part of the thread
That's cool, but I'm not the guy who said that.
I'm aware that many local polticians endorsed him, I'm not denying that, but I'm also pointing out that other major parts of the party actively worked against him, a problem Frey did not have, and still in the course of a year he went from an unknown to the biggest vote getter in half a century.
Tens of millions of SuperPAC dollars, from Dem and Republican donors both, were thrown against Mamdani. Sure, Frey and Mamdani both won races, but the incline on Mamdani's was far steeper.
Both local senators refused to endorse him, and instead spread lies about him being antisemitic. The Speaker of the House, a congressman from the city, early on did similar, only endorsing Mamdani in a muted way at the last hour. His opponent was a former governor and endorsed by a former president.
Right here is where he did it. Based on the fact that your profile pic hinges on using queerness as a negative, I'm going to guess that you're not gonna have a negative reaction to it though. bsky.app/profile/erin...
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.

It's so much worse than being reported.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation.

The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent.

regarding Jay Jones, it's not just that Trump talks about killing and assaulting people and that every GOP staffer is in a chat called Hitler's Bunker. it's that Trump is actually murdering people: illegal USAID cuts killing poor kids, people gunned down in the street by masked ICE thugs, etc

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.
Does he so desperately want the Mets to be his ass again
He got thousands of American soldiers killed to boost profits for his buddies and himself. That's not patriotism, that's base villainy.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath
The rule does exist though, has for a while, and a quick look can't find any mention of mamdani
