Tiny bit on Mamdami. Aoc did endorse him as first choice followed by Sanders, he may not be anything more than wanting the impact of the endorsement news to come close to when voting got underway, i think it was tactical more than political AOC and ZM are both in dSA , Lander and Mamdani announced they were each others second choice a few days ago. I'll stay out of too many more weeds. I'm not as optimistic as others in part for reasons of racism from media etc and also technical reasons that in order to vote in a primary one has to have registered with that party by February past. Given the need to get folks voting who havent in the past to win...If he doesnt win I think he can be close enough to build a movement that has already started around economic issues but in particular around ICE as well. The hatred of Cuomo will not just disappear if he wins..
