New York City just did what was thought unimaginable for decades: We elected an American Muslim democratic socialist mayor who is himself an immigrant and refused to bow down to the conventional attacks that seek to divide us.

In an opinion on the creative sentiments that drove Mamdani’s inspiring campaign, hragv writes, “Zohran Mamdani ignored the bad-faith players who sought to drag him down into the gutter, where our worst urges pool like sewage, instead choosing to believe that something new was possible, that the public could be trusted to make important decisions, and that at our core we’re all interested in helping one another.” 

These feelings should be familiar to any creative soul. To read the full opinion by Editor-at-Large Hrag Vartanian, visit our link in bio.
