  1. I’m genuinely so happy Cuomo’s attempted comeback has been blocked by a progressive democratic socialist. Good riddance, Democrats need new, exciting leadership, and certainly not someone who’s been accused of sexual harassment by at least 11 women.

  5. Thank God, we managed to avoid another shitty neoliberal scumbag centrist, and pushed forward a strong progressive candidate. Hopefully this can be a sign of things to come

  7. imo the NYC mayoral election is a zoomed in cross section of american politics as a whole. this is a great sign of what the people want. and the people want cuomo to shut up

  9. This feels like a really big change. Congrats to him and I hope he makes good on most of his promises.

  10. Maybe Dem leadership will 1. Resign and 2. Stop pushing unpopular candidates onto the voters ? Highly doubt it

  15. Hear that dem leadership? Pass the fucking torch to the younger generations and the votes will follow.

  16. At this point, my only hope is all this suffering will lead to another 80 years of progressive dominance, like it did the last time the oligarchs fell. I won’t get to live through it, but I hope my kids will. Maybe this is the first step…

  18. The news broke during Abby Phillips show on CNN and her republican guests went BALLISTIC. It were sensational, it were.

  19. Why are so many people already feigning worry about Mamdani’s chances in the general election?

    It feels like a loud, vocal minority of Redditors wanted him to lose so they could continue talking about how the Democrats are fucking up by letting Cuomo win the primary.

    Mamdani winning is a good thing.

  20. I guess this was an upset by CNN or Fox’s logic but it sure felt like this campaign was actually reaching out to real humans and getting support of the people and was gonna win

  21. Hopefully this shows people are finally waking up to whats good for them. Heres a short list of things Zohran hopes to do for our city:

    1. **Rent Freeze and Housing Justice** – Mamdani’s commitment to a citywide rent freeze and stronger tenant protections appealed to renters burdened by rising housing costs.

    2. **Public Transit for All** – He championed fare-free buses and improved MTA funding through taxing the ultra-wealthy, a major draw for working-class and outer-borough voters.

    3. **Universal Childcare** – His pledge to create a publicly funded, citywide childcare system addressed a top concern for families struggling with affordability.

    4. **City-Owned Grocery Stores** – He promoted opening publicly owned supermarkets in food deserts to combat high prices and corporate monopolies, making him stand out on food security.

    5. **Green New Deal for NYC** – Mamdani supported bold climate policies, including public renewable energy investments and a jobs guarantee in green infrastructure.

    6. **Public Power and Utilities Reform** – He advocated for taking utilities like Con Edison into public ownership, tapping into frustrations over high rates and service issues.

    7. **Migrant and Worker Protections** – He backed sanctuary city policies, stronger labor protections for gig and domestic workers, and expanded public benefits access regardless of immigration status.

    8. **Tax the Rich, Fund the City** – Mamdani’s tax plan proposed raising revenue by increasing taxes on luxury real estate, high earners, and corporations to fund public services.

    9. **School Equity and Free Meals** – He called for equitable school funding, free school meals for all students, and greater investment in arts and afterschool programs.

    10. **Police Budget Reallocation** – He proposed shifting funds from the NYPD budget toward social services like mental health crisis response, housing, and education.

    Each policy is rooted in a clear redistributive vision to help out all of us

  22. How could the endorsements of Bill Clinton and Jim Clyburn not sway the voters!!!???

  23. Good news when the candidate the oligarchs didn’t want wins. Good job Mamdani!

  24. Establishment Democrats are probably shitting a brick right now.

  26. Ken Martin, a Farmer-Labor Party candidate is now the chair of the DNC, against the wishes of Pelosi and Schumer. Zohran Mamandi, a socialist, just won the primary for the largest city in the US. This comes at a time when the abundance agenda is fresh on everyones minds. 

    The Democratic party died in 2024. Now it’s being reborn into what is needs to be. 

  27. Haven’t felt this hopeful since the night Obama first won

  29. I’m nervous it’s early to celebrate. I feel like Cuomo conceded so nicely, as to keep his image for his F&D party run in the general. I hope I’m wrong, but there are a lot of ways to split votes in the general that this sleeze still nabs the W.

  30. Dems should be on notice. Corporatist republican lite neolibs need to go 

  31. 2021 Buffalo. Don’t let up yet. Show up in November.

  32. I live in the Bay Area and NYC politics has no effect on me. However, I’m just so happy NYC rejected Cuomo

  33. Oh fuck yeah, this is great. I don’t find myself agreeing with Mamdani on everything, but what I remember of Cuomo was absolutely awful. A corrupt, nasty piece of shit, I’m glad the nomination went to someone better.

  35. Awesome. We need younger generations to fix this mess.

  36. It’s only stunning if you aren’t paying attention. Progressives/liberals have been saying this is what we want for years, but the old guard keeps pushing their choices on us trying to convince us they actually give a fuck. Who knows where we could be if they didn’t constantly work against us.

  37. Neo-libs right now crying into their pillows “PROGRESSIVES ARE UNELECTABLE, PROGRESSIVES ARE UNELECTABLE!”

    Love it so much, shit libs might as well lit that giant mountain of cash they threw at Cuomo on fire. Lmao

  40. This is an example at how this stuff CAN and NEEDS to start at a local level. You can’t just hope to achieve it at the executive level.

    But for the love of god, this party is BEGGING to get rid of these complicity MAGA-lite DNC Dems. They’re a cancer on the party. And they’re TERRIFIED of seeing another Obama come take their power away from them again

  41. Fuck yes. Lets get more progressives in office and change the world for the better.

  43. I can’t express just how exciting this is to me. He is the politician that speaks the most to my believes I’ve seen in such a long time, and to see a resounding WIN just invigorates me. Run to the left. Embrace the term socialist. The more we scare the rich, the more support we will get

  44. Late to the party but wow, this is legitimately the only good news I’ve heard in months, politically speaking.

  45. Progressives knock out Cuomo in New York and the people united in LA so much so they called the Marines in. The resistance is being felt, don’t stop.

  46. I don’t understand how Cuomo was even in the running. I’m so tired of shitbag politicians.

  48. Hope other Democrats figure out that their jobs are not safe.
