Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee to be the next mayor of New York and a self-identified democratic socialist, said Sunday billionaires contribute to inequality.
That’s exactly my point, since he can’t run for President, even if he’s governor of NY he’s still not really a threat to the power structure of the country, even Senator. He’d be Bernie 2.0 but unable to run for President. Not saying he wouldn’t be influencing politics but it’s a massive card off the table if he can’t run himself.
Timing wise odds are he’ll be in NYC long enough for Chuck to be replaced by someone else for 40 years. Kirstin seems firmly in her seat, so I’d say he’s most likely Governor after mayor, just a moonshot guess.

It’s countered by the fact, again, that Zohran cannot run for President. Bernie’s Presidential runs have been a real and immediate danger to the status quo and Democratic party hierarchy, Zohran can motivate and organize but cannot be the face of a movement like Bernie by not being able to run.

The powerful regard speaking the truth as an existential threat, otherwise they wouldn’t seek to silence him.
