Running this playbook (which didn’t really work in LA or Chicago either) is such a gift to Mamdani who’s going to be able to do unifying anti-Trump stuff that’s overwhelmingly popular with New Yorkers

Wonder if people outside the region understand the level of hatred Brewers and Cubs fans have for each other. It is nearly as significant, I'd argue, as Red Sox Yankees
