I am thrilled he won!!! And the democrats are winning. We need the progressives to lead us into the future. And we will take America back! Keeping hope alive! Yay!
Brilliant, insightful commentary, Anand. I have also been captivated by Zohran's smile, and I've mused about just what it meant, and what role it has played in his ascendancy. You really added a lot of color and nuance to my own thoughts. And then in his victory speech tonight, that smile seemed to be replaced by a tone of fierceness and force that I didn't quite recognize or expect. At first I was a bit, I don't know, not exactly put off by it, but perplexed. By the end of the speech, I found myself wondering if this change in his demeanor, sans the ever-present smile, is perhaps a deliberate transition, a savvy strategic move. His smile got him elected. Now that he's been given the power he sought he wants to show us that he means business, that he does, indeed, plan to deliver on what he promised with a smile. Interesting days ahead. I'm all in.

Excellent writing, Anand. Thank you.
Hooray!!! This is your best article!
Mamdani smiles from his heart. It's an integral facet of his being. I wish him great success in his new role.
A smile says so much. You have a good smile - I’ve seen it flash.
Mamdani looks really natural smiling - it’s his go to approach and shows his joy in life.
Why wouldn’t you (or anyone else) want to be part of that?
He has us smiling, too!
Happy-dancing all the way across the continent in Victoria, BC.
