hoo boy

In fact, I'm also excited to announce that I am now a contributing editor for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social! v proud to be on this masthead alongside such fab writers as @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com, @jamesrball.com, @lukemcgee.bsky.social and loads more. it's really fuckin good you guys

I think maybe Tim Walz has it a bit, I've been impressed by Pritzker. But I just have a feeling it will end up being someone like Newsom and that would be... I mean maybe I'm wrong but I think that would be the wrong choice

he seems to genuinely enjoy campaigning and connecting with people, rather than treating it like an unsavory thing he needs to do en route to power. Maybe that's just him, maybe it's a highly-polished skill, or a mix of both but I can't think of many dems with that ability. Stewart has it, I think

Mamdani's success has been in a kind of radical honesty. it's not just that he doesn't have the baggage of a machine Dem - it's his ability to radiate the feeling that he genuinely cares. He gives straight answers to questions that he seems to actually engage with. He doesn't give the ick

I know it might sound weird at first. but genuinely, I can't think of anyone who'd do better. and actually, since it's NY election day and all signs say the result looks fairly clear - I think Mamdani is a glimpse of what a Stewart campaign might look like
