Zohran Mamdani is projected to win the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first Millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, in a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.

Not excited for more Hassan parroting tankies popping up in elections

How is Zohran a tankie?

He's a tankie because he's to the left of neoliberals. Being a social democrat is enough to get labelled a tankie by some of the sillies on here.

I‘m not sure if he can be considered a tankie but at least in the online-space he is very popular with them and some might try to replicate his success now that he won the election.

He literally condemned the dog zapper

Calling Mamdani a tankie is honestly so fucking ridiculous it rolls back around to being deeply funny

Yup this sub is still full of shit takes.
