Holy crap have they STILL not had that election yet?
The election cycle for mayor of New York is taking something like three times longer than that of a General Election in most countries, and because most talk shows are filmed in NYC the rest of the world has been getting a wildly disproportionate amount of coverage on it. I should not know this much information about the election of a city I've visited twice ever.
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. .
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.
