This is not a normal election. This is a unique moment in recent American history. While the MAGAs are forcibly dragging us into Fascism, we finally have a viable Progressive candidate for a major office. Not only that, but it's the kind of office where Progressive policies can actually be tried out, and proven to work, or not.
Not since FDR, have we had an opportunity like this, and we need it as badly now as we did back then. .
it'll be a major wakeup call for progressives across the country too, about how weak establishment-dems grasp really is, that they can lose NYC to a actual self-described socialist.
the GOP died to a personality cult in 2016, the old guard dem's can be swept aside just as easily if they continue trying to campaign on "returning to normalcy" (read, blatant unsustainable ratfucking).
Smaller city, but don't forget about Omar Fateh in Minneapolis too. He won the DNC nomination against corporatist Frey and the DNC rolled back their nomination after the fact.
There are fights like this happening in more than just New York. It's important to keep that in mind.
