I'm on the other side of the country, no connection to NYC at all, watching this on TV with tears streaming down my face. Much like they did not that long ago listening to a newly elected politician talking about hope.

It's stupefying how great this is, a frank happy committed leftist going to Gracie Mansion. I don't even know how to process it — like I thought he would dial it back but he's dialing it way way way way up, it's who he truly is

This speech is legend. Beyond brilliant. Like MLK on fire mixed with a movie star
Holy smokes! Mamdani quotes Eugene Debs from the jump! This is the speech of a lifetime. "My friends we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andew Cuomo the best in private life, but let tonight be the last night I utter his name." All of this. "New York tonight you have delivered a mandate."

Holy shit, the Prop 50 turnout was massive! NYT projecting 10.6 million votes, CA GOV 2022 was 10.9M votes.

🔥 ZOHRAN: “My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo all the best in private life, but let tonight be the final time I utter his name — as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few.”

Mamdani:
“We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us.

Now, it is something that we do.”

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Perhaps major media outlets should pay attention to what happened tonight and recognize that bending the knee to Trump or pandering to a MAGA audience they’ll never win over is not the path forward, morally, journalistically or financially.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

I'm dead serious that Elon needs to be investigated thoroughly and removed from the country (if not imprisoned) for what he did in DC.
Hopefully, a lot of them will be in prison for trying to destroy our democracy! No mercy to any traitors.

Oh we will not forget who bent the knee.
Democrats won big. If it holds through 2028, it's going to be interesting to watch all the tech giants pretend they're not a bunch of MAGA fascists.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Abigail Spanberger's margin is >14 percentage points per AP (95% counted), which would be the biggest for a Virginia Democratic nominee for governor since 1961 t.co/JA6H9esZrL #vagov

This win should light a fire under Democratic governors everywhere. When leaders in states like Virginia, Maryland, and Illinois look at the win in California, their takeaways should be clear: Be bold. Be ambitious. Follow California’s lead.

The White House just posted this they are not mad they swear they are so not mad

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

MAJOR BREAKING: California’s redistricting measure, Prop 50, has PASSED — a major win for Governor Gavin Newsom.

The Blue Tsunami is complete.

Trump and MAGA have been forcefully REJECTED by the American people.

By "VOTER REFORM" he means voter suppression and gerrymandering to favor Republicans since they can't win on their policies.

“Voter reform” = figure out a way to cheat because we’re going to have our azz handed to us from here on out.
I think ALL the traitorous Republicans should be swinging on the National Mall.
