Is there a remind me thing on lemmy? I'm gonna revisit this on January 1, 2026 when Mamdani gets sworn in and a new era of hope is ushered into America.
"And there are others who see politics today as too cruel for the flame of hope to still burn. New York, we have answered those fears.
Tonight we have spoken in a clear voice. Hope is alive. Hope is a decision that tens of thousands of New Yorkers made day after day, volunteer shift after volunteer shift, despite attack ad after attack ad. More than a million of us stood in our churches, in gymnasiums, in community centers, as we filled in the ledger of democracy.
And while we cast our ballots alone, we chose hope together. Hope over tyranny. Hope over big money and small ideas. Hope over despair."
Watch Mamdani's full speech, you'll feel a lot better, trust me. Democracy will prevail. Its a long night, but sunrise is about to come. Be excited about that light, and not keep fearing that the flash in the darkness is a mushroom cloud.
Wong Kim Ark didn't give up even when he faced more discrimination than my family ever did, he persevered, and he prevailed.
I can't just lose hope from this 4 years, when those before us fought decades. Too early to lose hope.
We will have more people like Mamdani to be the guiding light towards the future.
I know its ironic considering I'm the one making this post, but I was kinda half joking. Let hope persevere in our hearts. Hope for a better tomorrow.
