What are the feelings on his margin of victory though? Finally folks had the option to vote for a real progressive, but in New York of all places he barely made it. That does not bode well for progressives elsewhere, no? Or do y’all think this is the first step of a sea change? (Not American, and just curious how Americans look at this)
He beat Cuomo by almost 10% in spite of all the things mentioned in the post. That’s the opposite of “barely made it” and thus a GREAT sign for progressives.
And before you mention that Adams won his general election by a bigger margin: he was only running against that lunatic Sliwa and had the entire establishment on his side, so a blowout was pretty much a given the moment he barely eked out a win in the primaries with TONS of assistance.
Ah, I meant barely an absolute majority. From what I understand, Cuomo shouldn’t have been a serious contender either. But I guess in the current landscape he’s a middle of the road kinda guy…
