Zohran Mamdani’s Win Is Proof We Don’t Have to Settle for Newsom 2028
The Bushwick bisexuals have it! We can ask for so much more, and at COYOTE we plan to.
It’s official: Lefty, pro-Palestinian, gay club-attender Zohran Kwame Mamdani has won the mayorship of New York City! In February, he was polling at 1%; now he’s headed to City Hall.
This victory happened in spite of the Democratic establishment’s refusal to acknowledge the mayor-elect’s existence until it became nearly impossible to do so, despite the newspaper of record’s editorial board writing that Mamdani doesn’t “deserve a spot on New Yorkers’ ballots” in June, and despite centrist pundits’ repeated warnings that inching left would be an electoral death sentence.
This should be a wake-up call to moderates and think tanks who’ve shoved spineless candidates down our throats for decades: Political scarcity is a myth, and we don’t have to settle for ghouls whose platforms insist on the expendability of our kin.
