I'm excited by the idea of an NYC mayor who isn't awful.

When is the last time that NYC had a mayor who was halfway decent?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…

I was going to post a poll, but I have no idea how far back you'd need to go to get a non-shitty mayor, and NYC has had a lot of mayors. Probably would need more than 4 poll options.

#NYC #mayor #uspol #history

and it's official:

#Cuomo concedes

now it's pretty much #Mamdani vs #Adams for #NewYorkCity #Mayor

this has national reverberations

there's going to be a lot of attention going into this race

and the centrists and the MAGA goons are going to get ugly and dirty

but this is a thunderbolt today

congratulations Zohran!
