“12 OUT OF 12 BABY, SEND ME AWAY!” 😂
How dare you. How dare you open my blackened, withered heart and make me feel _hope_ again.
I can't believe I get to vote for Zohran over Cuomo TWICE! What a treat!!
As someone that is in his 30's. I'm very impressed with how this 34 year old is handling himself. I wish him well
“Politics isn’t something you have it’s something you do.” That’s an amazing quote.
Never would have thought I'd care this much about a mayoral race on the other side of the country.
90,000 volunteers for a NY mayor candidate is WILD. There is something very special going on here. This guy is generational.
“When I feed the poor. They call me a saint. When I asked why the poor are hungry. Then they call me a communist”. The Bishop of San Paulo. Congrats NY for your bravery, courage and integrity. Now you're lives will change for the better.
I'm not a New Yorker but I'm very excited for Mr. Mamdani. I hope he wins.
As an Aussie watching abroad. Don’t mess this up New York.
