This was a straightforward triumph of people over money, the kind that capitalist elites try so hard to convince is impossible. Cuomo’s campaign was bankrolled by $25 million from some of the worst actors in American life — more than $8 million from billionaire and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg; $2.5 million from a landlord group; $1 million from DoorDash, a food delivery app deeply dependent on the exploitation of low-wage workers; and half a million from Bill Ackman, a… hedge funder who has been attempting to destroy the campus Palestinian solidarity movement (and with it, all of American higher education) — in total comprising the largest super PAC in the history of New York City mayoral campaigns. Mamdani didn’t just beat money as usual, he beat an extraordinary mobilization of money.
