Polymarkets Has Spoken: Mamdani has 82% chance of being next NYC Mayor. Cuomo 10%

[RobDownSouth]

this is entirely disingenuous

either in this thread or another on here, I posted reams of links to the humanitarian agencies, doctors, locals and many many more showing the truth. To continue to ask for 'proof' or citations, whilst at the same time ignoring or (worse) denying those presented is beneath you... or should be.

there is NO excuse.

This is what they do.
They want vocal critics silenced.
Failing that, they chatter "play defense! Play DEFENSE"
....and if you do provide citations they either ignore, dismiss or provide their own "experts" (most recently, a widely-despised-in-Israel carnival barker and a "woo-woo Jewish relationship coach" as "experts" on genocide)

This goes beyond disingenuous.

Every pro-genocide Jew on the political board here has descended into "bad-faith arguments" as a coping mechanism.

She knows she cannot get away with labeling you as an "antisemite" or a "Hamas dupe" because you're one of the "popular kids" (Lance's odd infatuation with you notwithstanding) , as the backlash would be too severe.

So you get sealioned instead.

The current administration of the USA is not likely to do anything about Netanyahu outright lying about the humanitarian crisis The protests and divestment by other parties must continue.

BSG, Laz, Noor, and the eugenicist Engleman are simply promoting Netanyahu's defensive propaganda effort. In the big scheme of things, continuing to debate with them on a porn board will not accomplish the immediate objective of effectively getting aid to non-combatants.

I know I've been labeled as 'one who believes some shit but should know better.'

as for being a cool kid or popular? probably the only 'popularity' I might have been credited with is because lace, aj and their stonkingly ridiculous ilk can't abide me

Free food, HELLO NO! Please, get a job or don't eat. Free housing, get a job or live on the street.

Then surely you support a living wage law, yes?

That's been Lazaran's go-to schtick for the past month.

Damned shame, really.

Zohran Mamdani in his own words.

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
He's right: it is long past time for America to prop up an evil bloodthirsty regime intent on wiping out every Arab in the Middle East.

More and more Americans are coming around to this position each day. Even Donald Trump keeps Fuhrer Netanyahu at arms length.

Both you and i know that Israel cannot survive long without US assistance, because they are weak.

There’s no genocide going on in Gaza. There’s no starvation. Only someone who can admit these simple facts can have a rational discussion about how to end the war.

WFP teams inside Gaza have been able to collect over 22,000 metric tons of this food aid from the holding areas. A total of 1,833 trucks have been dispatched to reach starving civilians inside Gaza.
• Despite these efforts, the quantity of food aid delivered to date is still a tiny fraction of what a population of over two million people need to survive. Just to cover basic humanitarian food assistance needs, more than 62,000 MT is required every month.
• Access to essential fresh and nutritious produce such as fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy products require commercial cargo to be reinstated into Gaza.
• The truck fleet used by WFP requires regular maintenance and bringing spare parts into Gaza remains a significant challenge.
• As of 25 July 2025, there is now roughly 3,500 MT of WFP cargo (the equivalent of 300 trucks) ready to be collected from holding areas for collection and distribution inside Gaza.

The problem is the food isn't getting into Gaza to distribute. Who holds that process up? Why? Answer those two questions and you have the answer to who is responsible for food deprivation in Gaza.

The UN was letting Hamas steal humanitarian aid to sell back to the Gazans to support their war effort. If there's a food shortage now in Gaza, look to the UN. They've totally dropped the ball.

So Israel wasn't at the root cause by blocking the entry of food into Gaza over claims of the trucks having weapons? They fixed that now and are letting the food flow freely into the areas? Don't think so.

Sure the UN isn't free of fault. Neither is Isreal. War is war. No good comes of it. Hatred isn't getting stomped out in a generation or two either. Is containment the temporry solution? Degreadation of lives?

The UN certainly failed its mission here. We, the USA, did as well. How is it that an area the size of Philadelphia, Detroit or even Washington DC remains out of control after all this time?

Trump sends in 800 National Guard and conquers crime in DC! Why couldn't he put a stop to Hamas in a land space of the same size? We should have forced UN troop deployment to take care of that to begin with.

It's taking so long to eliminate Hamas because they're so deeply embedded among the civilian population. Hamas doesn't wear uniforms and builds bunkers under private residences and hospitals.

Instead of painstakingly going house to house to defeat the Hamas, Israel could indiscriminately bomb everything to rubble. They won't because that would lead to widespread civilian casualties. The IDF is putting their own soldiers at risk to save Gazan lives.

Right after I wrote my previous response I came across a video podcast that addresses these points. It's 40 minutes long, but contains a lot of info about the UN's famine claims.

I posted evidence about this... LOCAL Palestinian gangs vying for power are being supported by the IDF to steal the food, fire on civilians and generally make deliveries to the starving populace as difficult as possible. The IDF not only funds these groups but stands back doing nothing as they shoot at desperate people rushing to get food; in at least one case a group has a base paid for BY the IDF. Of course, it creates very nicely the image netanyahu wants to promote of violent hamas shooting Palestinians and robbing the food when it's not hamas. I am not going to look up the sources AGAIN since I have already supplied these previously.

From the photos of Gaza, there isn't much housing left. Is that correct? I see this from an old man's point of view, how inhumane we treat one another in general.

Israel's reputation for indiscriminately bombing everything to rubble is self-evident. You claim that it would lead to widespread deaths is probably as accurate as the counterclaim that they have already killed thousands in the current 'discriminately' killing of Hamas in the current approach.

The populations of over a million have been herded into containment centers. What's left is rubble that should be easily gone through and purged of combatants and weapons. Then, a plan to funnel everyone back through a choke point and strip them of weapons, etc. Identify everyone and remove any suspects to another containment center under armed guard, then process them.

How many Hamas members are there left? Why are they still at large? The UN should have been between the two warring parties and dismantled Hamas. Trump could have done that. Too chicken to send in troops to force Hamas to surrender. TACO man. All of this could have been achieved by establishing decent shelters and setting up food resources under the UN as incentives to get people through the screening checkpoints.

That's how an old man sees it happening. As it stands, only chaos remains and nothing is being resolved. It's a stalemate, with a powerful army held back by a ragtag group of disorganized rebels. The world is weeping for the needy—no one seems to believe they are well nourished and safe. In no form is this how civilians should be treated—your claim to the contrary is that they aren't starving. That may be true to some extent, but there definitely are not enough trucks with food getting through. The air drops are just stupid stunts as I watch the strong snatch up everything, and the hungry watch and cry.

Polymarkets.com, the place where people can put their money where their mouth is regarding political races, has updated the odds on Zohran Mamdani to an 82% chance of victory in the upcoming New York City mayoral election. Sexual predator Andrew Cuomo, the favorite of "don't rock the boat" centrist Democrats and Wall Street traders, trails with a scant ten percent chance.

Dan Goldman, the Congressman of the most heavily Jewish district in America (D+60 !!!) haughtily announced today that he would withhold his oh-so-important vital endorsement until Mamdani did what virtually all Democratic Mayoral candidates have done for the past 30+ years: bend the knee and pledge undying fealty to Israel, apparently unwilling to acknowledge a distinct change in the political winds.

Goldman seemingly refuses to acknowledge the obvious: Jewish NYC voters in his district supported Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral primary with 43% of their vote.

The genocidal Israeli government has put out a "blast notice" that Zohran Mamdani should be named an "antiSemite" at every possible chance. The foremost fans of innocent child starvation here on Literotica (@BrightShinyGirl and @Noor ) have immediately answered the call for help.

Goldman was asked what he wanted from Mamdani. He replied "Assurances". When asked what sort of "assurances" he required for his endorsement, he replied, "um, SPECIFIC assurances!". The press continued "Okay, what sort of SPECIFIC ASSURANCES did he have in mind?" "Whoops, we are out of time here!".

if TRUMP sends troops you would protest

[Chernosoth]

Michael Moore heartily endorses Mamdani.

I suspect the Mamdani support is largely by default, the non-Cuomo vote. A slight difference in the rate of NYC's decline may be the most any mayor can do there.

 

[dmallord]

I just described a whole scenario of US involvement on the ground as something Trump didn't do. If I wasn't in for a pound, why would I have laid out the battle plan for direct USA involvement?

After today, the first candidate that promises to deport Russell Wilson might have a shot at beating Mondami.

Hamas can surrender unconditionally. Until then I could care less what happens to Gazans. Coat Gaza with napalm and incinerate the entire shithole and everyone in it would probably be best. There are gfar too many Palestinieans as it is.

Pretty much everyone here that supports Israel is way to moderate. We need some realisim in dealing with Hamas. Kill them all and then burn the bodies. And if we get Greta as well it's a bonus.
