I knew Obama wasn't going to change anything, and I didn't vote for him, but I did go to DC for his inauguration. It was historic, and it inspired a lot of people. The energy that day was unforgettable.

I also don't have any illusions about Mamdani, but I think it's rad that he opened his victory speech with a Debs quote. That a dude like this can win (handily) in NY, says something significant about our historical moment
