We just had the first NYC mayoral debate and it just blows my mind there was zero coverage from any of the Daily Kos staff writers. Not even a smidgeon of a live blog.
We have a charismatic young mayoral candidate who came out of nowhere and blazed past the primary showing how to conduct a campaign. The enthusiasm for him was off the charts as he made himself available for every person in every borough personally as well as using all the social media tools that we often deride Democrats for failing to use. He brought up issues and solutions that would benefit all NYers not called Wall Streeters.
In short, he was the antithesis of all we assail in a fossilized and moribund Democratic leadership in Congress. A leadership that has yet to endorse Zohran Mamdani, other than AOC and Kathy Hochul.
Yet, crickets from Daily Kos on the first mayoral debate. I just don’t get it at all.
Anyways, here is the Guardian’s live blog for those interested. He did good.
