Even in an article that’s praising Mamdani, they can’t stop themselves from downplaying what happened.
On Tuesday night, Zohran Mamdani shocked the political establishment. There are lessons that national Democrats should take from his strong showing in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. But I worry they won’t. Democrats have a curiosity problem, and it’s losing us elections.
Strong showing? STRONG SHOWING?!?! That’s what you say when someone loses but exceeded expectations. HE FUCKING WON, you weasels!
