Except it is relevant, even down in New Zealand. The far right have been pushing hard, and other parties continue to move right to keep the middle voters. When people like Mamdani win a major election like this, it shows the Dem/Labour/etc parties that you can win without pandering to fascists.
Obvs the mayoral race for NYC is irrelevant to us but don't let that stop you enjoying plenty of the world's worst individuals being mad as hell about it if Mamdani wins

On June 26th President Michael D Higgins welcomed Zohran Mamdani’s win in the primary. One of the first Heads of State - if not the first - to do so. @president.ie

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I’m utterly sickened by what happened and stunned at the horrific reporting
V was a person. A whole person who starved himself to death because of untreated anorexia
He died of the neglect of every person who shared responsibility for his welfare

As once again the forces of shittery fix their eye of Sauron on trans people, I have to remind everyone that all the problems they claim that trans people have caused in Aotearoa New Zealand SIMPLY DO NOT EXIST AND NEVER HAVE.

“Some politicians may tell you that 10,000 people is not very many. I would say otherwise. In 30 years of covering politics, I have never attended a New Zealand party-political rally that attracted anywhere near that many. Or even half that number.”
John Campbell: I saw peace, joy and 10,000 people uniting to say 'no'
Yesterday's national hui was a powerful display of Māori unity in the face of the government's proposed Treaty Principles Bill.
