United by the twin forces of economic precarity and moral disgust at the entitlement of the very rich, this coalition has found its voice. In the heart of global capitalism, the language of socialism no longer sounds foreign. It sounds like common sense.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory is an earthquake that has shaken the foundations of American politics.For the first time in more than a century, the mayor’s office of the largest and richest city in the US will be occupied by someone who doesn’t bow before Wall Street or the real estate barons.
