The responses to Mamdani's win are really disappointing.

I've tended to bat away accusations that some conservative bloc of elderly Democratic politicians is trying to squelch innovation but recent events are making me take a closer look.

Mamdani won the Democratic primary in NYC. Cuomo lost. Done. It's over. Get behind Mamdani and get him elected mayor. Do people want Adams again?! A Republican?!

WTAF.
