I was told that Mamdani would never win because he's too far left, and then I was told him winning wasn't indicative of anything because he was the mayor of a city full of blue-haired gender studies majors. What does it mean when a progressive manages to clear the right-wing Dem pick by 30+ points after being smugly assured he would lose to her, and then he goes on to beat Susan Collins, who we were smugly assured Platner could never hope to defeat? Not only that, but it's a progressive who used to have a Nazi tattoo and came out the other end of that controversy even more popular than before?
Are we taking over the party yet? Are the right-wing Dems ready to start admitting that they're quaking in their boots at how much the public has turned against them, or are they still pretending like these are just irrelevant anomalies?
