Mamdani's victory was impressive. Spanberger's victory was impressive. Every win was impressive on Tuesday, in fact. But you could also argue Mamdani and Spanberger had easier races. Mamdani was basically guaranteed to win the second he won the primary, running against a failed politician and a republican in a very liberal city. And the data makes it pretty clear that all the democrats romped in Virginia in large part due to outrage over DOGE/Trump gutting jobs in the state. Those were incredibly local elections and there's no point in trying to turn them into national stories about what works elsewhere. You run to win the state you're in, period.
Did you not read what I wrote?
What does Manhattan being "deep blue" matter when Cuomo was also a "blue" candidate?
Mamdani lost in the wealthiest parts of Manhattan (Upper East Side, Upper West Side, West Village, etc.) and won in the parts with more minorities and young people (Harlem, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, Lower East Side, etc.).
The DSA is more hyped about challenging Jeffries than FLIPPING a red seat.
Stay focused.
the Georgia PSC race still shocks me
Cause it’s irrelevant. AOC was amped about knocking off Crowley but none of the squad has flipped a seat. Not a single one.
Disagree he had to defeat the establishment donors republicans, Israeli lobbies and billionaires. Billionaires spent something like 20 million in attack ads on him.
As they should you influence the party by taking blue seats. Sounds like common sense to me
sup with this code switching?
Mamdani doesn't run dsa.
Lmaooo nap then turned into elon musk what a weirdo. You need a posting break again

But they didn't have anyone in the race to defeat him. Sliwa is never winning city-wide and Cuomo's failure in the primary sealed his fate. The only way Mamdani was gonna lose was if he dropped out due to scandal, and it was clear they didn't have jack shyt on him. It's similar to Obama 2007/2008 in the sense that they just didn't have anything.
Could it have gone left if Mamdani just went off the rails or something? Maybe. But nothing in the entire race suggested that was possible. He was incredibly disciplined from start to finish.
