    you need an exciting candidate first and foremost

    Yeah I’m sorry that’s bullshit.

    More boring candidates, please. Mamdani is an outlier in a super blue city.

    This isn’t a fucking Super Bowl halftime show, this is boring shit and it should be boring.

    “The candidate wasn’t exciting enough” has never, and will never, be a legitimate excuse for not voting for someone.

      Low information and low political engagement people do need someone who excites them to get off the couch and vote.

      The type of people who live for personal drama and excitement.
