I'm not a New Yorker, but the worst these people have on #Mamdani Zohran is "he calls his dad's cousin 'aunt'"? That's it? That reeks of desperation.
I'm a white Southerner and I have so many "cousins" and "aunts" that I don't actually know how and if I'm related to.

Remember how at the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope, they announce that the legislative branch wasn't meeting anymore and that's how they signaled the final death of democracy?
