Mamdani’s defeat of Cuomo offers Democrats a path out of the wilderness | Zohran Mamdani

It was on the party knees. He could not defeat Donald Trump, a convicted criminal accused twice, and lost both rooms of the Congress. Since November, the democrats have been looking for a way from the wild nature. They found one on Tuesday.

However, instead of celebrating the victory of Zohran Mamdani in the primary election of the New York Mayor, the first major democratic competition since Trump won, many of them in the party organization has passed into panic mode.

The 33 -year -old Mamdani represents a unique threat to a self -defining democratic socialist, who will be the first Muslim mayor of the American largest city of America. A record of 29 % is low.

The defeat of 67 -year -old Andrew Cuomo from a political dynasty struggling to return from the sexual harassment scandal could not be better written as a pivot point for the democrats who ruined their brands by closing their concerns about the fall of former President Joe Biden.

Cuomo, who was deployed by corporate donors and approved by former president Bill Clinton and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, personified the tail of a dying animal. Mamdani, a enthusiastic rapper A friend of the state politician supported by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the congress, dare to imagine what a future could look after Trump.

Dan Pfeiffer, former Senior Consultant of President Barack Obama, said, “What is in NYC is a brilliant message for those who are still adhering to the old politics in Dem, read the focusing points and are more afraid to say that it should be said.” He said.

It was a campaign that made a triple floor game, digital style and the policy item. Mamdani was a shoe leather candidate who puts himself all over the city, speaking with countless voters, foreseen my Optimizim without preaching, and foreseeing that thousands of volunteers play the doors many times.

He also learned from Ocasio-Cortez’s dominance of attention economy. In places where other democrats appear to be served and cruel on social media, Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez are naturally floating in such waters, which proves that you cannot mimic reality.

He was born in a family of Indian origin in Uganda, cosmopolitan and charismatic New Yorker. In November, one week after Trump’s victory, he went to Queens and Bronx with a microphone, and interviewed the working class New York people about why they voted for Trump or never vote. A Video of stock exchanges X has 2.7m imaging on the social media platform.

On the New Year Day, he wore a full suit and saved a tie for bare feet, ran from Coney Island to freezing waters, then wandered throughout the beach -speaking policy A nice bad Puns tweeted: “I freeze… As the next mayor of the New York City. Let’s go into details.”

For the anger of all democrats on messaging, if policies cannot echo, it is not important. The Democratic Party was seen as the party of the elite who received college training, as a millionaire New Yorker, Trump, who has no sense of irony, has a maximum impact with blue -collar voters.

But Mamdani clearly hit a chord in a city by feeling the pinch of the crisis. The average manhattan rent is now 5,000 dollars per month. Among their offers include freezing rent for many New York, free bus service, and universal child care paid with new taxes on the rich.

When Trump identified some frustrations and offered fake populism, he was awarded twice with the White House. When Mamdani provides solutions to be considered as the main current in many European countries, it is demonized as an extremist. New York Times Newspaper on Wednesday characterized him On the front page of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post, “Running on a remote agenda” announced: “NYC SOS. Radical Socialist Dem Mayoral Primary in Cuomo’yu who will save the city after Batting?”

Mamdani showed the value of fearlessness. He called Israel’s actions in Gaza, a loyal supporter of Palestinian rights, as “genocide ,, participated in a hunger strike that called the ceasefire outside the White House, and defended the cause of Mahmud Khalil, a student activist who had to be arrested in the orders of a federal judge at Columbia University.

Cuomo and his allies’ efforts to depict Mamdani anti -Semitically fell straight. Last year, there is a lesson for the democrats who rejected a nest speaking at an American American Convention last year, and Kamala Harris saw that Dearborn in Michigan lost his loss to Trump in the Arab majority suburb and cost Michigan’s important swing.

Just wait for the democratic organization to fight (Sanders Mamdani), just as Hillary Clinton did in 2016 against Senator Bernie Sanders’ nomination. They are afraid of the loss of control they have enjoyed for a long time. They are also afraid that the Republicans and the Rightwing media will lose their elections as Jeremy Corbyn as Jeremy Corbyn.

Matt Bennett, the founding partner of the third way of the central Thinktank, He wrote on social media “A NYC Dem Primary called on the dangerous to believe that it offers a roadmap to win in swing or conservative places, and the democrats called for moderates, not the“ siren call ”of socialism. But they have wrong solutions: their ideas are useless and make things worse. ”

There will be a lot of discussion about whether the New York City, a democratic castle with many different features, is useful for the length and width of the country for cities, towns and candidates in rural areas. “When you go to New York, the nation applies,” is not really anything.

Nevertheless, after the search for a six -month grieving spirit, the democrats now have an answer. Some don’t like it. Mamdani, who was probably a favorite in the mayor of Kasım, the mayor of November, means a change to a complainant and hypocritical party organization due to his love for figures such as Clintons, Biden and Cuomo despite his obvious flaws.

Currently, the 35-year-old Ocasio-Cortez has shortened the likelihood of gaining and gaining democratic candidacy in 2028. It is a splashing of a political imagination for the United States, which will enjoy the progressives – but it would also be a republican election machine.
