This stream viscerally reminded me of being in highschool and sitting around a table full of stoners smoking tons of weed and talking bullshit and politics. Except this was leftist flavored.

And for posterity, Mamdani's last name 「曼達尼」can be interpreted as "the long, graceful path to peace".
There you have it, a noble man with an incorruptible spirit, who puts down fame and fortune to take the long, winding road towards peace, despite the cold winter ahead.
That's a hell of a name

The orchid and the plum are so prevalent in Chinese culture that you will find them as two of the four bonus tiles in mahjong.
It takes a lot of skill to find an easily pronounceable name with multiple readily recognizable cultural meanings

Most importantly, the Chinese names are homophonous with "Zohran Kwame" when pronounced in both Cantonese (the spoken language used by first-wave Chinese immigrants from the South) and Mandarin (the spoken language used by new-wave Chinese immigrants from the North).

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.
