Brilliant analysis; this victory truly marks a historic turning point. Zohran Mamdani’s triumph isn’t just a political win; it’s a moral and generational one. Against smears, billionaires, and fearmongering, he showed what real people-powered politics looks like: unapologetically socialist, anti-racist, and rooted in justice.
As a Palestinian, I found his stance deeply moving, he stood firm in solidarity with our struggle for freedom and against genocide, even when vilified for it. His courage, remind us that the fight for liberation in New York, Gaza, or anywhere is one struggle.
When ordinary people unite against fascism, racism, and capitalist greed, they can win. Thank you, for capturing the significance of it for UK politics. 🌹✊🏽🇵🇸✌️ #MamdaniVictory #Solidarity #Palestine #JusticeForAll
Your comments have made me feel ever so much better, Owen. It's been rather depressing reading the US media post-mortems. I am an ex-New Yorker living in the UK and so can still vote, which I did, for Momdani of course. What has made me cross is how the corporate press in New York (the New York Times for one, which wouldn't endorse him) are reporting on his victory. He has an enormous uphill battle on his hands since most of the media will be scrutinising his every move in the hopes that he will fail. One column in the NY Times actually said "And Tuesday's [elections] were decided by the kind of highly engaged, lower-turnout electorates that have repeatedly backed Democrats in recent years. " Lower turnout! NYC had the largest voter turnout in over two decades. Virginia saw the highest ever non-Presidential turnout, EVER. When even the NY Times starts gaslighting, you know the corporate world is scared of the power of the people. Not only that, and also not being broadcast so loudly, is that though Trump didn't engage fully with most of the elections nation-wide, every single candidate that he did endorse, lost. Every single one. There is hope.
Very pleased and thankful for some good news. Perhaps this will boost our own Muslim mayor in London who’s had to be strong and fierce against the smears including from carrot face! Good luck to both xx

It is a win for human decency, it is a real joy, like breathing really fresh air, after the turmoil of the last few years.
