Women tweeting that women's rights should be taken away. That's the problem.
 
Zohran Mamdani began his campaign day after 2024 election. At the time, he was a state assembly member with almost no name recognition. He went to two precincts that had been historically Democrat but flipped to Trump. One majority Black, one majority white. He held a sign "talk to me about the election". People did. Although on paper economy was good, people in those working class precincts didn't feel good. And didn't feel anyone was paying attention to them. Trump promised to lower prices. Bring back jobs.

Pundits told Democrats to win back working class voters they had to stop talking about social justice, climate change and above all LGBTQ people. Especially T.

Remember famous quote from Clinton advisor, "it's the economy, stupid"?

Mamdani focused on what could be done to make city more affordable. But he did so without abandoning social justice, climate change, LGBTQ community. He just kept pounding away at affordability. When he was baited about trans athletes he talked affordability. When he was falsely accused of anti-semitism because he's Muslim, he talked affordability.

And he went everywhere. Every precinct. Every media. Every podcast. Large events that draw thousands and community meetings that have a dozen participants.

And no matter how much shit thrown at him kept smiling. Spoofed in SNL take on mayoral debate when actor playing him said he will smile until his face hurts.
 
Virginia new liuetenant governor is first Muslim woman elected statewide anywhere in the country.

Fox, after raging against "identity politics" since forever, called President Obama a hypocrite because he backed a Black woman for president but not for governor of Virginia. Conveniently ignoring the fact that candidate for president was from his party and candidate for governor the opposing party. As well as being a nut case. Winsome Earle-Sears focused her campaign on trans athletes. A large majority of her campaign ads were about trans athletes. Not on top ten concerns of Virginia voters.
 
More interesting results coming in. St. Paul, Minnesota elected first Hmong and first woman mayor.Minnespolis headed to runoff.

Virginia State legislature went from 51 Democrats out of 100 to 63.

Mississippi Republicans lost super majority in legislature as Democrats flipped several seats.

Hopefully this momentum doesn't stop. But knowing how the D's can fuck up a good thing...
