The thing about off-year elections is that there are so few of them that it’s tempting to over-interpret their significance. That’s particularly true when the key races are viewed as tests for a Democratic Party that is terrified about its past and future and unsure of its identity.
Right now the four off-year contests that are getting the most national attention are the mayoral race in New York City, gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, and the Prop 50 retaliatory gerrymandering ballot initiative in California. Prop 50 seems to be gliding towards an easy win. Democratic advantages in New Jersey and Virginia seem fragile. So the really exciting story for Democrats, and particularly for self-identified progressives, is Zohran Mamdani’s upcoming mayoral victory.
It really is a great story: an obscure young Muslim Socialist state legislator ran an upbeat, issues-oriented campaign and leapt over the many obstacles to change and reform posed by New York City’s byzantine political system. He beat the front-runner, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, like a drum in the Democratic primary, overcoming Cuomo’s huge advantage in money and name ID. And despite an extraordinary deployment of attack ads and oppo research by a coalition of opponents that stretched from the city’s Democratic Establishment to the Trump White House, Mamdani has failed to self-destruct as many expected. That he positioned himself to win despite clear skepticism if not disdain from House and Senate minority leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer makes his success even sweeter for Democrats yearning for ideological or generational change. And Mamdani’s clear and disproportionate appeal to young voters who seemed so tuned-out in last year’s disastrous elections has made his campaign an instant classic.
But it’s more than a bit...

What clap trap!
A Jew hater who cohorts with 911 terrorists. Miracles come from God. This guy is from the devil.
Nope. Commie, Muzzie idiot is the national model for dems.
First, they came for the construction jobs, then the political jobs.
Can you name AOC’s predecessor?
That's the problem. Not that the older generation of corrupt Democrats will become like him.
I can see this Presstitute foaming at the mouth writing this propaganda.
Soon to be a disaster!
Agree. That was a misuse of the word miracle.
Exactly.
And New Yorkers will have only themselves to blame.
Democrat Liberalism has collapsedon the national level, it has capulated to marxism, or Liberals like my Dad have abandoned the Party.
Elect Mamdani. “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”
Poor citizens of Gotham, the cavalry isn’t coming.
New Yorkers these days are not that smart...
65% of NYC is non-white. 10% of all SNAP in the country goes to NYC. They don't want rescue from communism. They want more.

Crunching static numbers seems ZM can’t do the math. Reality bites
Be careful what you wish for.
People are misinterpreting Mondami’s popularity. NYC is a DEEP Blue city - it’s a Democrat city. Whomever wins the Dem primary becomes mayor.
The Democrats in power are OLD, VERY OLD. Democrats are tired of their OLD leaders, they want change and they know the OLD guard won’t change a thing.
Why do they want change? Because Democrats have run the city into the ground and Democrat voters not being too bright are voting for the young guy who is promising change.
It’s that simple, the Dem voters aren’t that bright or they wouldn’t continue to be voting Democrat.
