    mamdani winning NYC is pretty big imo. open socialist winning major seat in what is probably the most corrupt/good olde boys city in the USA (tied with like…boston, maybe)?

    US is at inflection point, everyone just waiting for trump to die in vain hope that things “return to normal” (ie. unsustainable ratfucking).

    when that doesn’t happen, shit goes from bad to worse…then we either get a massive progressive wave or amerikkka for the elections this year.

        huh, have any events/books on this you’d recommend to read up on the topic? every US city has their shitty internal politics but outside looking in Chicago seems better than NYC in that respect
