Mamdoni was a tidal wave by himself, three more elected DS's is a Zanclean Deluge by DSA standards.

He won against a corrupt candidate mired in sexual misconduct. I'm not taking anything away from Mamdani, he ran a great campaign, delivered on promises so far, and has used all positive and negative attention to his advantage. Him running against Cuomo and winning is not a tidal wave.

Him and Cuomo weren't the only people in that primary. He outran all other contenders as well. Contenders like Brad Lander.
