I decide to just be glad about him winning. Neither over- nor underwhelmed. Hopeful but not blue-eyed. And may it have a knock-on effect on other Dems.

    Right? I'm happy he won, but he's just a mayor. It's a step in the right direction, sure. But I think some people are vastly overestimating what he'll be able to accomplish.

    While it's just a major, it's not "just" a mayor. It's the major of one of the most important city in the US.

    When I was visiting Houston, there was this restaurant called The Puddery that people were claiming had the best pudding ever. I went there and stood in line for a while before I got my order. It was, indeed, the best pudding I have ever had; but it was still pudding. There is a limit to how good pudding can be. So while someone could say it isn't "just" pudding, but the best, most amazing pudding in the whole wide world; at the end of the day, it really is "just" pudding.
