He did not have much competition

[–] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I mean, he basically had both parties, the president, all the billionaires, and the whole media apparatus working against him, and yet he proved that people like policy-focused progressives, getting more votes than any nyc mayor in like 20 years or something like that (I forget the actual number)

I'd say that was pretty good competition

I doubt someone else would have won. His campaign was truly unique.
