I know going off of headlines is a no-no, but since it's all I have at the moment, and it's the Economist... I really fucking hate the corporate media's push to paint Mamdani as some kind of aggressor and insurrectionist plotting the overthrow of a formerly respectable Democrat party. The voters are choosing progressive candidates, Mamdani is not installing anyone. To claim that he is single-handedly engineering elections and implying Machiavellian means at once discounts the will of the actual voters and gives too much credit to a single person, while trying to dirty him up at the same time.
