Zohran Mamdani won the primary. We all need to GTFO for him because he is our last best hope to defeat neoliberalism. HE is the nucleus around which we build a new FDR left.

While it's certainly a good thing Mamdani won, he isn't capable of beating neoliberalism. Nobody is, until capitalism is replaced with socialism, and you can't build socialism in one city alone. An FDR style New Deal isn't going to be able to save capitalism from its contradictions. Again, though, it's good that Mamdani won, it shows the growing support for more worker-centric policy and is a good sign of increasing radicalization among the working class.
