but the great irony here is that mamdani is a typical young new yorker. he just is! likes new york, thinks it is too expensive, and loves to be online

the highest-ranking elected democrat in the country either did NOT vote for the winner of the democratic primary in favor of a third-party challenger or DID so and won't admit it. either option is bad

mamdani is not necessarily reflective of the national electorate, but his views and perspective on NYC are fairly typical for under-40-year-old new yorkers. part of being a coalitional leader is managing a coalition and there's no evidence that was done here

Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

trump gets away with whatever he wants and nobody ever cares but EVERYONE is distracted by the affable mamdani and is instead missing a legitimately insane and serious scandal

the only relevant national take about the NYC mayoral election is the one that isn't happening: how outrageous it is that the president is using federal funds as a tool to influence the outcome

“Cuomo closed by demonizing immigrants, forgetting his own family history. Mamdani, in his closing video, honored the legacy of New York’s Italian-American political leaders who fought for workers.”

Cuomo disgraced all Italian-Americans. Mamdani honored them in his closing.

you can parse about 150 things from both games that are excruciating what-ifs but even that misses something more elemental: there were (at least!) 5 separate swings where it looked liked the blue jays had walked off the world series, PLUS the 9th inning save situation. just devastating as a fan

same. i know none of them will and we wouldn't either but that's a real gut punch that changes the relationship to the team in the short term

i'm still (now and always) outraged and depressed about the 2024 WS and that pales, truly pales, in comparison

i have spent a hugely disproportionate amount of time since game 7 ended thinking about game 7 and that world series in general. that has to be an all-time devastating two consecutive games for a fanbase to endure
