"The Inauguration of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani" is Democracy Now's full-length video of their live broadcast of the New York City inauguration. The event was beautiful and inspiring. The link to the video is below.
Mamdani had a message of hope, offering big plans and big ideas which were all drawn from interactions he and his team had with average citizens. What a breath of fresh air compared to so many politicians on both sides of the aisle. Many offer little more than to tweak the status quo. Many offer little if no inspiration to follow or support them. Many don't have well thought-out platforms and offer little more than "we're not as bad as our opponents". And too many try to divide and demonize others.
The excitement in this event is electric. You can see it in the faces of those in the audience as well as those on stage. Good speakers. Good music. People react positively to someone offering bold new ideas, and, in our current political climate, someone who does not try to divide the members of the populace against each other.
Aginst all odds, Mamdani and tens of thousands of his supporters achieved one of the biggest political upsets in recent times, beating well-funded opponents who also had the support of the political machine.I truly hope that Mamdani will be successful and that more candidates will emulate his style. If Mamdani is as successful in governing as he was in campaigning, he might well turn out to be the standard by which all future candidates are measured.
So here is the link to the full ceremony. Check it out; I'm sure you will both enjoy it and be inspired by it. This was a special broadcast from "Democracy Now". "The Inauguration of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani" (CLICK HERE).
