The possibility from Mamdani, and at this point this is maybe reading in too much into it, but a progressive figure has found a way to reach the disenfranchised and disengaged…a thing that of late has been the party trick of the populist right. Be something, stand for something, offer hope.

Idk if European politicians "can learn" anything whatsoever from Mamdani but one thing I /wish/ they learned is to actually believe in things, specifically multiculturalism

Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s mayoral election, sparking jubilation from Europe’s left wing.

“Hope won,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan declared after the democratic socialist candidate triumphed in America’s largest city.

i used to be the sort of person who absolutely hated the idea of celebrating or finding joy in someone's death, but i'll be honest, the past ten or so years in particular have changed me on a molecular level. there are deaths i look forward to. i didn't want to be this but here i am anyway
