I wouldn't exactly call this melting down and a few people aren't the "establishment":

On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

  • The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.
  • New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."
  • Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."

If the top two Democrats in government aren't the establishment, who the hell is?

Ah, maybe. I don't like either one of those, Jeffries is a sell out and has been for a long time. I guess I just don't listen to them and consider them the mouthpiece of the worst of the democratic party. Bernie Sanders is more my speed and I consider him establishment.
