An awesome article, Dear Sir..
Very accessible & to the point👏👏..

But this sentence from someone who replied to the article is it:
"Socialists should strongly support it as a means of base building, party building, legitimacy building..", etc etc.

That's my take!
I'm not sure Mamdani can win but a strong 2nd place in New York would be huuge, given the city's electoral realities. A tremendous boost to base building, no doubt.
Democratic Socialists have been snoozing much too long.
If not now, when?
