Mamdani: 12-pt landslide victory

Bloomberg: "Hey guys, you might want to back off this one, he seems a bit risky"

Bloomberg: "Remember that time I pissed away a billion dollars to place fourth behind Liz Warren?"

Either Mamdani is seen as ineffective, and just another Democrat who promised utopia but was unable to actually deliver on his lofty promises. Or, more dangerously, New Yorkers get a firsthand lesson on the dangers of socialism, sparking a considerable backlash against the Democratic Party as a whole.

Slop indeed. Because it worked so we'll for Bloomberg!
