Zohran Mamdani...

Many Democratic leaders 100% prefer Trump to Mamdani and therein lies the problem

Public schools, public libraries, and unions created a bigger middle class than possibly anything else. Same with the Gi Bill.

The reason the US doesn’t want socialism is because they fear many Americans wouldn’t join the military or have incentive. I don’t think that’s true. I don’t think anyone who signs up does it for strictly economic reasons, but because they want to serve their country but this is the belief among the elites

Whether you agree with the feasibility of Zohran's policies or not, he ran on a platform of helping the average person. Ask yourself why that is such a threat that the Dems are supporting 3rd party candidates. Ask yourself how they would've reacted had Bernie pulled the same crap. Ask yourself why we're discussing stripping him of his citizenship and deporting him. Ask yourself why both parties are terrified of a candidate with a platform to give something to regular people instead of more handouts to corporate donors.

Hopefully this will open some folks eyes to the reality that our entire political system has become hostile to the very people it is supposed to represent, and that it is not in fact red team vs. blue team, good vs. evil, etc. In reality, it's a bunch of rich liars serving the interests of even richer people and lying their pants off to you about it. One person comes in rejecting those rich people, saying he wants to help regular people, and the system wants him destroyed.

His victory was based on college educated male voters and higher earners. Blacks and Hispanics and lower income voters broke for Cuomo.

I think the freak out is over the fact that he espouses luxury beliefs. For example, yes, rent freezes are great *for people fortunate enough to be in rent stabilized units* but it is accepted consensus that rent freezes are terrible for everyone else and overall increase the cost of housing.

His proposal on corporate taxes carries the potential to either drive out business or be inflationary as corps pass the tax cost to their customers.

His policies are likely well intentioned, but just misconceived. They are Bill de Blasio 2.0 and will be interesting to see them play out.

That's not true. Cuomo won poor and higher earners. Zohran won the middle.

It seems like he's working with smart people, and they are open to trying things and shifting strategies if they don't work. I'm sure their policy ideas aren't merely a rehash of policies already known to not work, but Cuomo and Adams' definitely are.

Nope.

He and his official party are full on Marxist socialists. Dont bother with BS posts here anymore. He’s not doing anything new from the Marxist angle. He’s new.

You know what’s socialist? Public
Libraries. We can all tell that you’ve never used one, so kudos to you for sticking to your ignorance as a belief system.

Nobody uses public libraries anymore unless they’re homeless.

Many parents take their kids to the public libraries especially over the summer. Not everyone can afford to buy books or hire private tutors.

FDR and LBJ literally brought socialism to the country (and during the commie era of all times) so it just goes to show far removed the Democrat Party is from making plans for the working poor.

The Clinton neoliberal Democrats are nothing but Roe v Wade rainbow flag Republicans

I can afford to purchase on Amazon and get it delivered to my door but going to a public library is just such a wonderful pastime. The smell of books, and people reading all around you…….

I also already have too many books in my home which I will likely not have time to read again. It’s better to go to the library and have a place to store them for another person.

The poster is unhinged uneducated and clearly lacks a happy childhood

Zohran’s election is eliciting a type of anti-Islam bigotry that we have not seen before. Not even post 9/11.

I am curious how much of it is anti-Islam and how much is just a general tantrum about his big win and they are grasping into anything that can. Not that it matters, in the end it’s still Islamophobia.

Because his success as a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist, anti-apartheid candidate is a huge threat Israel supporters especially in a city with so many Jewish constituents. Had he been silent on those issues, you would be much less criticism and Islamophobic comments about him.

Americans throw around the word Marxist without knowing what it means.

What we call Marxist is a middle of the road centrist social Democrat in other countries

How? It’s going to remain the most populated city in the country regardless of how bad it gets.

Why?

What did he say or do or write to upset people?

He is a Muslim and he supports Palestinian rights. Apparently that makes him “deportable.”
