[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The New York Times is reporting today that Mamdani identified himself as “Black or African American” and “Asian” in his application to Colombia. Mamdani confirmed it in an interview.

If that’s the worst they can find about him, that’s a good thing. Compared to Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo, this is not a big deal[/quote]

His communist Twitter and social media posts and archives are what do him in.

Filling out forms and culturally depicting himself as sub-Saharan African is him being a slimy loser liar.  Unf it plays into the fraudster Indian stereotype too. [/quote]

If that's the worst thing about him, then New York definitely dodged a bullet not choosing Andrew "rapist, geriatric killer and Israel" first Cuomo. [/quote]

The worst thing about him are his beliefs and policy ideas.  His actions are proving he will lie to get what he wants. 
Pretty sad that these two are the best the Dems could come up with.  [/quote]

I don’t know: believing that he can make NY more affordable again seems like a pretty good goal to me!   His specific ideas seem perfectly reasonable:

Government grocery stores: the policy proposal is one per borough in food deserts (where private grocery stores don’t already operate) as a TEST

Free buses: Kansas City has free buses and as far as I am aware, that has not destroyed the city.  I live outside of Boston which had some free buses routes and Boston is thriving under Mayor Wu.

Free universal childcare: NYC has had free preK for a while and people like it. Why shouldn’t be free childcare be a goal?

Rent freezes: applies to rent controlled apartments only which have been allowed to raise rents by quite a bit in the last couple of years under Adams.  Percentage rent increases for rent controlled apartments (not all apartments) is squarely a decision within the mayor’s control. Rent increases for these units have been set at zero for periods before and the wealthy didn’t flee the city.

Mamdani offers some new ideas to solve current problems.   I just don’t get why he is so scary to people.

He’s scary to people who are fundamentally okay with the status quo. But the reason Mamdani and Trump are the enough people are willing to shake things up. [/quote]

He's most scary to people who are hardcore Israeli supporters which is a significant portion of the New York population. Being against a settler colonial apartheid ethnostate will make you a target no matter where you are in the country in politics. [/quote]
