Mamdani for NYC Mayor: The Fight We’ve Been Waiting for

by Tom Gallagher

“I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani, upset winner over the heavily favored former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, would have greatly preferred that his much better financed opponent would graciously accept the will of his party’s voters, thereby allowing the Democratic nominee (Mamdani) to sail on through the final election in November as is generally the case. And so would we, his supporters, all. Instead, he finds himself actively opposed by elements of just about every significant anti-democratic, anti-working class faction in American politics. As the Talking Heads song put it, this race ‘ain’t no disco; this ain’t no fooling around.'” [editor’s note: Even with the perfect Talking Heads quote, this pundit is delulu defined – SAT]” (07/27/25)
