Mamdami won

[conuly]

I haven't had a chance to look at any other election results yet, but that's cheering. I do think he's vastly overpromised and will regret it - among other things, free buses requires first wresting the MTA back from Albany, and that's not the job of a single term - but it's not like I liked any of the other candidates.

Especially Cuomo, for many reasons, but most especially because you just can't trust somebody who thinks the best career move after governor is mayor.

I tend to think of Cuomo as "governor who has fallen from grace," which is I guess why he bothered running for mayor.

Mamdami will definitely have his work cut out for him. One can only hope he will be a quick learner once he's more thoroughly up against reality.
