It doesn’t matter what state of even what country you live in, you should ALL be fixed on this election and deeply concerned about the outcome.
The New York mayor is a massively powerful seat in the world, it’s one of THE cities that move our entire world. For an open socialist to get this much public support flies in the face of the authoritarian/capitalist narratives that have been trying to convince people all over the world that no, they don’t actually want affordable groceries or affordable rent prices.
If this lands, if Mamdani succeeds, and the chances are quite high if not sabotaged, the precedent means a LOT for the world. Populists will take notice. Up and coming leaders will be inspired. Corporations will realize they’re pushing the line too hard and may back off just long enough for our world to get back on track. Maybe.
It’s worth watching. It’s worth being invested in.
