The one certainty is that Mamdani has revived hope, thought to be already lost at the hands of the atrocities of the last few months.
[Mamdani] exploits the oldest leadership characteristic since the Greek polis: charisma.
Mamdani's victory ... marks the starting point of a promising and rising American voice.
[P]resenting the New York mayoral election result as a crushing defeat for Israel, capitalism, the West, and "white identity"...does nothing more but add to an already saturated lexicon of idiocy.
Mamdani's socialists are not embarrassed when his election is celebrated with swastikas on synagogues, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon's socialists in France lean on Muslim antisemitism.
[T]heirs is not a clash between East and West, nor between democracy and authoritarianism, but between two versions of American destiny.
[P]eople didn’t care about what Trump said and what he threatened.
[M]amdani’s success could offer the [Democrats] a sense of direction.
