I very much appreciate the language and tone of your reply. It feels very different from the previous series of responses to others. Thank you!

So now, I will ask you what you think of Brad Lander's candidacy? I watched the debate and I thought he self-described very well. I'd already read the NYTimes analysis of the candidates, and reasons they found him the best choice.
No candidate is "perfect," a truth hard for all of us to accept when we "fall in love" with our candidate as I did with Obama, in particular, and that flame still burns within me...But I digress...
But given that I am no longer living in Manhattan, although I self-identify as a born and bred New Yorker, I am emotionally, as well as politically, invested in this campaign. So, I would appreciate your response, as well as responses from any other New York City voters who might read this.
UPDATE to my previous post. After watching this 50 minute interview with Zohran Mamdani, I would definitely be voting for him if I were still living in Manhattan. I also learned before I watched the interview with Tim Miller of The Bulwark (link) that AOC endorsed Mamdani. But I needed to hear him speak substantively and more than in generalities before I made my decision. And Tim's questions and Zohran's responses very much impressed me. I am not easily impressed. Moreover, I get a gut feeling about people, particularly politicians, and I found him to be authentic, quite comfortable in seeing and expressing nuances, and having a wry and warm sense of humor.
I believe any of you here will appreciate the interview!
