Democrats should TOTALLY lean into the most woke platform possible!!!

Yes! Mandate 15 minute communities all over every borough. This is how you ban cars while you’re at it.

To food distributors, I would say make no more deliveries to NYC. Sell your goods elsewhere.

You think prices are expensive now. Wait until you have to buy them from black market chains outside of NYC and smuggle them in.

The only way to deal with communism is to strangle it.

You want to “Gaza” NYC? Typical

Very telling isn’t it? They want all of NYC to suffer if Mamdani is elected. These folks don’t want what’s best for New Yorkers. They want to see Mamdani fail.

He’s already walked the talk and has the life long history to prove it.

He’s actually said offensive things about Jews. But I guess that’s okay now?

He’s actually said more loving things about Jewish people compared to adams and Cuomo who never address the Jewish religion, people, or New Yorkers-just a general blanket statement about supporting Israel.

Supporting Israel doesn’t mean you’re not an anti semite. Some of the biggest anti semites support Israel because they want all Jews there.

I like Mamdani and think he has the energy and idealism needed. So I am not saying this as someone who doesn’t want him to win.

My guess is that the checking of the box for Black doomed his application. Children of faculty go into a different handling process. Usually they are highly favored, it is the biggest of hooks, only smaller than development donor. But the admissions team also know who the faculty parent is. So, they would have known exactly who he was. Therefore, that was likely seen as attempting to scam the system and an immediate disqualification.

He is Ugandan by birth.

The US Census definition of “Black or African American” explicitly refers to a “person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.” While the precise language used has shifted a little since Mamdani applied, the reference to origins in Black racial groups has been around for some time.

Colombia ADs would have known that, and generally the definitions used during that time period for admissions reflected the census. Mamdani as a teenager probably didn’t understand that that faculty children go into a different bucket, usually because they get a massive admissions advantage. But the down side is extra scrutiny, and what likely happened is that the ADs saw that, knew he did not have origins in the Black racial groups of Africa. They likely rejected him specifically because of the decision to check the box.

I would like Mamdani to win, I think he is the shot in the arm Democrats win. But this idiotic “He was born in Uganda! What he did was ethical and perfectly fine” response has to stop. Just let him say sorry, I was a dumb teenager, and move on. All this kind of response is doing is adding to the perception that the Democrats are untrustworthy. He can’t afford this behavior because right now his genuineness and apparent transparency is a big advantage. You’re hurting his campaign by pretending this was anything other than a cynical but dumb attempt to game the system when he was a teenager. Be honest about that and move on.

What buckets should he have checked?

Considering the shady history of his opponents, why is this getting airtime?

He should have picked Asian only. At the time, his ethnicity would have fallen into that category based on the census (which is what they used).

And this is getting airtime because this is a major campaign and he is in the big leagues now. Come on.

Should he have lied and not claimed his African citizenship? The whole African American label is outdated and should only be used for people from Africa.

Doesn’t he have half Jewish children?
Perhaps you misunderstood whatever you think he said. But then again, everyone’s occasionally offended.

This. He's more of a humanitarian and believer that all people are equal and deserve the rights than Cuomo will ever be.

You think having children that are another race or religion prevents you from saying offensive things? Or from bigotry? Your poor knowledge of history is embarrassing.

Cuomo’s pr team was saying anti semitic things about some of his female Jewish accusers

[Anonymous]

Cuomo accused the hasidics for spreading COVID because they didn’t social distance and remain on house arrest or double mask like all blue states did. He was called an anti semite for pointing their community out a few years ago

[Anonymous]

Mayor Adams faced criticism for meeting with Nicolas "Sneako" Kenn De Balinthazy, a streamer with millions of followers who has been banned from platforms and has shared antisemitic viewpoints. He previously appeared with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

The reason why zohran won is because most democrats are extremely out of touch and he knows what people care about and how to appeal to that.

Even when his actual solutions are terrible, he is the only one actually trying to find one.

[Anonymous]

Most democrats never discuss childcare, elder care, or the cost of groceries. They focus on Donald Trump, the stock market, trans kids, and reproductive freedom which are important issues yes but they’re not the issues that most Americans are concerned about on a daily basis.

People do not want to go back to the democrat status quo. Reaching across the aisle to people who want to kill you.

I was laughed at here when I said aoc is going to be the future of the democrat party and the 2028 front runner.

The Dems are soo out of touch. It’s actually sad how they completely do not understand gen Z and millennials. They do not want these factory made corporate democrats rubber stamped by the establishment. They want the protest candidate /the outlier. Many Dems voted for trump over Hillary and Biden in 2016 and 2020. They don’t trust the party of six COVID shots and “Biden is sharp as a nail”

[Anonymous]

Have the Dems done anything to use their platform the past two weeks to blast republicans about the Big beautiful bill or have they spent that time freaking out about Mamdani?
