The Dems are concluding that Mamdani’s victory proves that they need to abandon the old guard and take the party in a more “progressive” direction, but doesn’t it just show the extreme polarization between the cities and the rest of the country, like the retarded brown commie mayors of every other major city? Aren’t elected officials like this just par for the course of the total browning of these areas? Could an openly communist and Muslim, recently naturalized brown immigrant söylennial really win on the national level?
