The United States is transforming from a two-party political system into one comprising establishment Republicans, establishment Democrats, alt-right populists, and democratic socialists. In confronting all those who will try to derail him, New York’s mayor-elect will need to keep this big picture in mind.

I love the concluding paragraph:

Now that he has won, Mamdani should move firmly and deliberately to take over the New York State Democratic Party, while also establishing a network of links with democratic socialists around the US and – following Sanders’s advice – subtly appealing to disappointed lower-income workers and farmers who voted for Trump. The future of the project Mamdani embodies lies in peeling away disappointed Trump voters, not winning the inert center. Only a radical leftist can win over working-class Trumpians – a constituency whose distrust of the establishment remains entirely justified.
