When a relative unknown with no money thrashes a big beast like this it is well worth asking how it was done. Something dramatic happened here. Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein have quite a few thoughts on the matter:


Hayes has just written a book on attention. He thinks the outcome is significant far beyond New York.

Mamdani’s skill at making videos is hardly surprising given that his mother is a brilliant film-maker.

 

Spanky's so excited about Mamdani, that he's already got his prayer rug picked out. ;)

Mamdani wouldn’t be my cup of tea politically. I’ll give anybody credit who exceeds expectations. Trump certainly has.

Did Hitler exceed expectations? Should he get credit?

I would argue he didn't really exceed expectations, but I don't see a problem acknowledging and achievement even of a bad person. I don't think you give them credit and say that somehow makes them a good person but you can say things like hitler corrected their inflation problem without actually saying Hitler was a good guy. Recognizing a fact isn't the same as praising an individual and I think that's where sparky was coming from.

 

I hate carney, I think he's a lying scud bag who deserves cancer but even I have to admit his come from behind victory was absolutely legendary.

The worst part about him is his comments about seizing the means of production.  That’s not socialism, that’s straight up communism.  He needs to go back the f**k where he came from with stupid ideas like that.

Yeah, that's New York for you.
