Chris Murphy's Excellent Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani. [View all]

Congrats to Zohran Mamdani. Important lessons.

Focus on shifting economic power. Relentlessly. Have big ideas on how to do it.

Be joyful and authentic. Even if your ideas aren't considered "mainstream" by elites. The elites have little idea what's actually mainstream.

I couldn't agree more. It's the future folks. Get ready for it.

Or... to put it better ...

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
