(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.

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

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.

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

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.

She is probably a centrist in most of the civilized world. Trump might be doing is a favor in the long run.

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.
