I'm surprised there is no post about it yet here (or by the lack of posts about politics and economics in general, which should be front and centre). For virtually the first time in US history, someone from the centre-left was elected in an important office.

In any case, let's hope Mamdani's election will be a signal to progressive US citizens, to cast away the right wing/part of the Democrats, and only vote for people who are at least "as much" (and ideally more) to the left than Mamdani, to see a new wave and ideally a rise of progressivism is the whole country. It's a sign that not everything is lost there, even if right now, it's only one city.
