Nothing better than voting for a mayor who genuinely loves New York as much as I do.

Nothing better than supporting one of the greatest political talents I've seen in my lifetime.

Nothing better than resoundly rejecting racism and sexism.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is going to be our mayor!! 🎉

Feeling this:

“I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so ambivalent about watching a sporting event before, writes Jonathan Gresty. “Here we have two young wizards performing near miracles of dexterity and acrobatics and in their presence is pretty much the biggest lump of odiousness in the free world..."
Screenshot from the Guardian updates, the text reads: “I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so ambivalent about watching a sporting event before, writes Jonathan Gresty. “Here we have two young wizards performing near miracles of dexterity and acrobatics and in their presence is pretty much the biggest lump of odiousness in the free world wearing his horrible suit (and equally horrible tie) basically being enabled by the whole sporting community to lord it over us all by sitting there in all his bloated pomp and vanity.” It’s a state of affairs, isn’t it. Sport is, I’m afraid a victim of its own success, so brilliant that the worst people in the world are eager to co-opt it, though the supine submission of its leaders – not restricted to tennis or to today – is an unnecessary blight on our civilisation.

Just from a design perspective alone, which candidate actually gives a shit about being the Mayor of NYC?

Zohran just passed Eric Adam's total vote share that brought him victory in the 2021

Zohran = 405,551 votes (Round 1 - 86% reporting)
Adams = 404,513 votes (Round 8)

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is going to win!!
A New York Times results table titled "Democratic Primary," showing first-round votes with 86% of votes in. Zohran Mamdani leads with 405,551 votes (43.6%), followed by Andrew M. Cuomo with 336,251 votes (36.1%), and Brad Lander with 106,758 votes (11.5%). The final round column states, "Ranked-choice tallies expected next Tuesday if necessary."
