Credit to The New York Times editorial board for pausing its longtime campaign to destroy the country, if even just for a day. Apparently the mayoral victory of a communist in its hometown is cause for some concern.
At the top of an editorial late Tuesday, the Times congratulated Zohran Mamdani for his winning campaign. Then the paper dove into a panicked plea for the Ugandan native to please, oh please not be everything he promised to be.
“In almost every area that featured prominently in the mayoral campaign,” wrote the Times, “Mr. Mamdani can improve life in New York by marrying his admirable ambition to pragmatism and compromise.” The paper told him to “start by building a leadership team light on democratic socialists and heavy on officials with records of accomplishment and proven management skills.”
I’m sure the little revolutionary will get right on top of that.
