Zohran Mamdani...

And not questioning for a second why he had more appeal to voters than **Cuomo**. The lack of self reflection and introspection is embarrassing and they will deserve to lose if they don’t start respecting their voters.

(A recent Emerson poll projects him winning 57 per cent of white voters, but only 26 per cent of Black voters and 35 per cent of Hispanic voters. While 57 per cent of college-educated voters support Mamdani, only 23 per cent of those without a college degree do.)

DCUM posters love to portray that Mamdani’s voters are ignorant and naive and don’t know what is good for them. They cannot fathom that his voters want to help their neighbors and raise the standard of living for the working class in NYC even if that means paying more in taxes. All the unions are behind him. He’s going to win in a landslide for mayor.

On a side note, Mamdani likely would have struggled more to win without the Jewish vote. He was second in total votes. A poll several weeks ago showed around 20% of Jews would vote for him but now I am hearing that number ended up being closer to 30% on election day. Very interesting.

Oh! Oh! I believe a Muslim socialist is Obama? At least if I’ve been reading Fox correctly.

The level of projection is also amazing. People in a death cult that are persecuting people nation wide and writhing in ecstasy as secret police kidnap people are afraid of what now? The white Christian nationalists that love Kegsbreath are taking shots at someone’s religion? The people that love to persecute gay and trans peoples are somehow now concerned about other humans, as long as they ate billionaires? The folks that don’t understand science, math, or economics are going to judge policy?

MAGA is such a joke.

The ignorant and naive part is because communism doesn’t work not because we don’t think the intentions are good.

Can I just say what a d$ck Andrew cuomo is? Nobody wants you Andrew.. go gentle into that good night.

If a credible centrist can run as an independent, they might have a good shot. The question is—-does NYC have one?

Vote blue no matter who...unless they're a progressive, then it's okay to vote independent!

The next time moderates try to shove a centrist establishment candidate down our throats, I will laugh in your face as I vote against you. We see your game for what it is now.

Define communism for us, without googling. My guess is, you can't. A democratic socialist is not a communist. Stop throwing around words you do not even understand.

She IS a centrist in the rest of the civilized world. There's a whole spectrum of politics to the left of liberal democrats, but the US political system is stunted. It's why universal Healthcare is still being debated and talked about like a pipe dream, but is a fact of life in the rest of the Western world, or why we still don't have paid parental leave, or why our young people are still bankrupting themselves to get an education. Our quality of life lags so far behind every other developed nation because our two major parties do not serve the interests of working people but rather corporations and big donors.

This.

His name is Eric Adams, the guy who got New York to its lowest homicide rate IN HISTORY.

I know stuff like lowering the homicide rate to historic lows doesn’t matter to privileged white kids, but it matters a lot to people who live in the “under resourced” neighborhoods these same privileged white kids claim to care about.

It really feels like that

Certainly more energy and more vocal than about anything Trump is doing right now

Dems need this guy to normalize the current left as mainstream. In other words, AOC will look like a centrist compared to Zohran.

These leftists in the “civilized world” are hard liners on illegal immigration and far to the right of the US left on trans issues. If AOC and her ilk would follow their lead they’d win every election. But their woke hubris is keeping them down and stopping them from winning elections and helping the bottom 99%.

The lowest homicide rates in NYC were in 2017 and 2018, not swing Adams’ term.

Hint: it involves government run grocery stores.

Spare me the idea that we don’t know what communism is.
