“WE DID IT, ZOH!” – one of my favorite post-Zohran Mamdani victory tweets. Fuck yeah, New York!! (Blasting Addison Rae’s “New York” as we speak.) Even on a brutal 103-degree Election Day, the youngins got their asses up and voted, and by some miracle, a gorgeous 33-year-old Muslim Socialist just pulled off a MAJOR upset against Creepy [Andrew] Cuomo, the political dynasty candidate and establishment favorite backed by a $25 million super PAC. It’s almost like “make New York affordable” resonates with people, and crusty, old, corrupt sexual harasser doesn’t. Imagine that! (@Centrist Dems, I’m begging you to take notes.) Just months ago, Zohran was 40 points behind the former governor, but the race wasn’t even close last night. He clobbered Cuomo, and thank goodness for that… There’s still hope in this world, after all.
Naturally, all I could do last night was cry happy tears and laugh my ass off at the truly incredible Zohran tweets. Social media hasn’t been like this since the delusional BRAT x Kamala era, and that was just false hope. This is the real deal, baby!! To celebrate, here are all my favorite Twitter reactions to Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayor primary. Enjoy.
