i think this is a good point and i worry about folks who don’t draw the same lesson because i suspect many of them imagine themselves to be the next one in a billion hero set to save the wretched masses
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

it is very brave to delay shutting off a person’s utilities

The federal shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits have placed an unfair and unexpected burden on households. No one should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.

before any other results come in, i gotta say one reason i'm very proud to organize with ellen kubit is she can turn out the vote. increased turnout at Lakeview Estates over 2021 and crushed the field in our ward by precinct - her precinct B had 33.5% turnout; on average the ward had 23.8% turnout
