So much of what people hear in politics is negative and threatening. Zohran’s opponents spoke almost exclusively_about how people should be scared and angry. But the undeniable energy of the Mamdani campaign has been joy — an effusive, exuberant, _contagious joy. Even when times are hard, maybe _especially_when times are hard, people are drawn to that joy. And they’ve been missing leaders who offer them a positive vision. They don’t want to hear horrifying visions of “American carnage”, especially when they know those are lies designed to manipulate. A better world is possible.
This is literally the best thing I have read on the Mamdani campaign.
