i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

I’d caution against reading too much into progressive wins tonight: elections are essentially just popularity contests, not an indication of broad support for left-leaning candidates

The NYC mayor‘s election might be the first big election where Millennials and Gen Zers realize that their broad participation can literally dictate the outcome of elections.
That alone is everything. It’s the way democracy will be reborn.

The two watch words @gregsargent.bsky.social - as I’ve been saying for… too long now - are “Affordability” & “Accountability”
And Dems across the broad party will apply that differently.
But the goal is the same.

Yeah, for sure. I'd add that the party doesn't have a future if it doesn't incorporate the core of Mamdani's popular politics & broad appeal.
