There was no election here yesterday, but this is exactly how I feel about all the other ones.

All jokes aside, people from across the country are invested in Zohran Mamdani winning because the people need hope.

Folks are feeling run down. Things are bleak. We need proof that our neighbors still know how to make the right choice and that change is possible.

I was just telling my mom exactly this. Remember Obama's "HOPE"? Same vibe. The people want POSITIVITY. They want solution oriented thinkers.

The biggest difference by far watching the various campaigns as a New Yorker and all of the messaging we were targeted with I think is an important takeaway for the whole country:

Cuomo’s entire message was threats and fear and cynicism.

Mamdani’s entire message was lightness and joy and hope.

Alright Libs, listen the fuck up. Zohran just gave you the path to victory. "But NYC isn't the same as the whole country" SHUT THE FUCK UP! Zohran paved the way. All you have to do is walk it. Stop moving to the right, and campaign on working for the working class.

I'm probably crying.

A 34-year state democratic socialist assemblyman from Queens, Mamdani became the city’s first ever Muslim mayor—and the first immigrant mayor in half a century.

Zohran Mamdani drags the Democratic Party into the future

This was a local race with national implications, whether the party's leaders liked it or not.

I am honestly incredibly taken aback. Like... I KNOW this country has a gambling problem and a corruption problem, but this is just ... Incredibly exploitative.

So I just learned you can bet on political races. So that's great.

I'm honestly so nervous. He's the clear favorite, but we know the other side is crooked as hell.

The last time minimum wage was increased was on July 24, 2009, when it rose to $7.25 per hour. You can't even buy a sandwich for this amount anymore. The cost of living has risen approximately 51% since 2009 and they wonder why people are on SNAP?

For everyone struggling, I can't recommend this resource highly enough. Everything is given freely, there is no selling/trading allowed. I've gotten everything from food, pet supplies, furniture (and given a lot of similar) I see a lot of folks sharing clothing + baby supplies

Credible, science-based studies clearly show that SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes and lowers health care costs.
