[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mamdani's base of voters is rich, highly educated and white while he claims to stand for working class people of color. What do you all make of the fact that the people he allegedly represents did not vote for him and do not want him?

(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.)[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

Hint: it involves government run grocery stores.

Spare me the idea that we don’t know what communism is. [/quote]

You obviously don't if you think it’s defined by how the grocery stores are run. [/quote]

If you don’t understand the link, then you are the uneducated one. It’s tiresome that when we want to debate the merits of a candidate, you all fall back on definitions. You played this game with DEI too. When we debated whether it’s appropriate for someone to be hired based off their status as an underrepresented minority, the game of “you can’t even DeFInE DeI” began. Knock it off.  Tell us why Mamdani’s proposals that have been tried elsewhere and failed will suddenly work in Manhattan.[/quote]

Because definitions and the way you use words matter. You're so busy being reactionary, you've not even taken the time to actually understand what it is you're screeching about.

Have you read Mamdani's proposals? Why are you so convinced there is nothing new to them, that they are mere rehashings of failed policy? And can you point out what your preferred candidate has proposed that IS different than what has already been tried and has failed? [/quote]

You need to learn about human nature and character, human behavior, and how people act when certain inducements are provided. Learn the unintended consequences of them.

We don't need to go down this well worn path again because you are a poor student of life and can't think for yourself.[/quote]

+1 it’s uneducated, naive voters who refuse to learn from history and what has been tried and failed already, who are the problem. Do what you want NY, but don’t come fleeing to the red states when catastrophe happens. We are full![/quote]

New York pays your red state's bills, dummy. [/quote]

No, it doesn't.   You think you're running on fumes now.  Wait until Wall Street pulls out. [/quote]
