Although 700,000 fewer people voted in the city this November compared to last, Mamdani actually earned more votes than Harris in a few notable areas.

Fuckin' ouch lol

In one heavily Bangladeshi precinct on Hillside Avenue, Mamdani ended up winning more raw votes than Harris on Tuesday—despite 14 percent fewer people showing up.

Damn, that is pretty wild. And pretty damning.

On the other hand, I'm sure the DNC consultants and old guard are scrambling to create a narrative to explain all this away, which I shall read as purely for the entertainment value, since it’s essentially just creative writing.

For the time being, they're just keeping up a general level of chatter about some made-up reasons to not like him. Latest one is that his wife is 6 years younger than him and that's a super concerning age gap and did you know he's Ugandan? Also as a proud American I would never want a Ugandan representing me, how do we even know he's etc etc.
