I see way too much of this on the internet, here on Lemmy included. Thanks for posting this. I have this thought a lot but haven’t see this good of a way to put it before.

I’m from the area and this is a really big win. We’ve had a string of terrible mayors beating promising progressives, so this is a long time coming!

“We” (or “most people”) is what people use when they want to make their statement more powerful. Ironically it actually makes it weaker and less relatable than if they picked someone specific or themselves.
