Zohran Mamdani's win is the start of genuine political change.
Zohran Mamdani's Democratic primary win is exactly the type of jolt we need to catalyze a movement. Yes, the Democratic Party establishment will try to undermine him. Yes, this is only one city in a Democratic state. Yes, it was against an unpopular, corrupt, sex criminal in Andrew Cuomo.
But put this into perspective. Zohran's campaign overcame Cuomo's massive financial donors due to a solid grassroots movement founded in working class politics. He openly ran as a socialist who unapologetically held his ground against ridiculous mischaracterizations, smears, and overt racism. Also, consider just how huge NYC is. If it were a state, it would the 13th most populous state; it has more people than the entire state of Washington.
One silver lining about the Democratic Party being so weak and feckless is that genuine left candidates have an opportunity to shine. People want genuine change. People want a true left opposition to the rising fascism in this country and the impotent neoliberalism that facilitated it.
Zohran's campaign has given a blueprint for how to achieve it: a ground-up working class, unifying political movement with clear positions and messaging. We must continue to advocate, communicate, and show up. Let's make this a nationwide movement!

anyone else feel like we were promised a life that doesn’t exist?
go to school, get a degree, find work, meet someone, buy a place, build a life.
that’s what they said.
but most days it feels like i’m just floating through noise — overworked, underpaid, disconnected.
i don’t feel lazy. i don’t feel broken.
i just feel... lost.
and i know i’m not the only one.
