BREAKING: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brings down the house at Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration as Mayor of New York City by praising his “historic, ambitious leadership” and stating that NYC has “chosen courage over fear.”
A new generation of Democratic leadership is rising..
“Together, this ascent marks a new era for New York City, led by a historic new mayor in Zohran Mamdani, guided by his dedication to a working class that makes our beautiful city run,” said AOC.
“Importantly, I also ask that we consider today an inauguration for each one of us too, the nearly 8.5 million New Yorkers who make up the greatest city on earth because it is the people of New York City who have chosen historic, ambitious leadership in response to untenable and unprecedented times,” she said. “New York, we have chosen courage over fear.”
And there was a great deal of fear to overcome. The corrupt oligarchs that are strangling the life out of this nation threw everything that they had at Zohran, hoping to crush his Democratic Socialist vision of a better, more equitable future. The people of New York rejected the propaganda and chose a leader who will pursue their best interests rather than those of the super rich.
“We have chosen prosperity for the many over spoils for the few,” AOC continued. “And when the entrenched ways would rather have us dig in our feet and seek refuge in the past, we have chosen instead to turn towards making a new future for all of us.”
“In Zohran Mamdani we have chosen a mayor who is relentlessly dedicated to making life not just possible, but aspirational for working people,” AOC went on. “New York City has chosen the ambitious pursuit of universal childcare, affordable rents and housing, and clean and dignified public transit for all.”
“And we have chosen that over the distractions of bigotry and the barbarism of extreme income inequality. We have chosen this path because we know that it’s the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do, and that if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere!” she added.
This moment could prove to a be a crucial hinge point for America. If Zohran succeeds in implementing his agenda, it will provide a blueprint for the rest of the country. We don’t have to settle for worsening living conditions and an economy that only serves the wealthy. A better world is possible.
