New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani

[Philthy_Phil]

Mamdani does NOT have a mandate. And his lack of a public denunciation of Hamas likely cost him that mandate







Mamdani could have EASILY solved the problem involving Hamas AND his father - but he didn’t…







Yeah, I’m NOTHING like Rightard, because I am objective…





Not much option but to “give the guy a chance”. “But” I do NOT have to ignore his faults / failings and pretend he is set up for success with a mandate and reasonable opposition parties who aren’t committed to making sure he (and his agenda) fails.

I also do NOT have to ignore the potential harm to the Democratic Party and the progressive movement that could EASILY (likely) result from Mamdani’s election and a failed tenure.



Side note:

Mamdani is NOT EVEN CLOSE to the ideal progressive avatar: and an objective individual would admit to that FACT.



We. Told. Them. So.

How dare an American Mayor not suck israel's cock!

Brawndo has electrolytes.

As a Canadian reading this thread it illustrates that America is done.

You no longer share realities. You focus on trivialities. You let your hatred of 'the other' colour your every thought and action.

A nation divided against itself cannot stand.

Seems to me if your country can survive its language divide, ours can survive a racist demagogue getting elected president.

!'m going to enjoy watching NYC descend into a worse hellhole than they're already in now.

Yeah, but he promised us free stuff!

Hey, NYC voters! Getting your throat cut while you're on the subway is free, isn't it?

Have fun, you fucking morons.

Melbourne, Australia (where I now live) has free transport in the city, and I can't remember the last time I heard about any violence on the trams or buses.

Lighten up, Francis. You sound as hysterical as the MAGAts are about AOC and Greta T.

It's just a single office holder in a large Democratic tent. Unlike the GOP, who suckered for a cult of personality, no single person defines this big tent. Your hysteria plays right into the MAGAts' narrative. Try breathing into a paper bag for a few minutes.

And who knows, maybe he'll do some good things for the people of NYC.

The fact that you think my sound & sober objective assessment of the situation is on par with right wing hysterics says so much…

And “it’s just a single office holder” is a laughable assertion: This is the Mayor of NYC we’re talking about: It’s “a big fucking deal”.



Of course informed voters understand that Mamdani does NOT define the Democratic Party (unlike how DonOld (MAGA) DOES define the Republican Party), but recent elections have demonstrated quite clearly that maaaaaany voters are NOT informed, and they frequently allow DonOld & the MAGAt republicans (and the corrupt corporate media) to define the Democratic Party for them…

And DonOld & the MAGAt republicans (and the corrupt corporate media) WILL define the Democratic Party as the party of Zohran Mamdani, so his every move (especially any failures -perceived or otherwise) will be magnified / amplified.

It is what it is.

I totally disagree. And who gives a fuck how the MAGAs define anyone? Did you listen to Mamdani's acceptance speech?

Cuomo sold his soul to the devil. I didn't hear him tell Trump to stay out of this race and away from him.

 

[rachaelwillguideyou]

New York City, home of nearly one million Jews, held a referendum on Mamdani's lack of a position on Hamas, and the majority of the people (including a large plurality....possibly a majority of Jewish voters) took a look at the bigger picture and decided that Mamdani's position (or lack of a position) on Hamas didn't matter enough to make them want to change their vote. "The people have spoken".

And your attempt to conflate the purported sins of his father onto him was one of the cheapest shots I've ever seen you take at someone. You're as bad as Rightguide, who attempted to conflate Liz Cheney's views with those of her father Dick Cheney.

Don't be like Rightguide. Period. Rightguide has an excuse for his loathing (closeted homosexuality). You don't.

....And Mamdani is the most progressive light to emerge from the moribund Democratic party since AOC. Will he overpromise/underdeliver? Possibly.

But give the guy a chance.

I wasn’t a fan of Mamdani OR Cuomo.

A Cuomo win would have opened up just as many (though vastly different) lines of attack from DonOld & the MAGAt republicans (and the corrupt corporate media).

Adrienne Adams was my favored candidate in the New York mayoral Democratic Primary, but obviously flawed men always win over better, more decent, and more qualified women…

It is what it is.

You spent several months being reasonable, now you've returned to posting pro-felon rapist crap. What happened?

Over Ukraine and the entire tariffs and trade wars stupidity, to be clear

 

[ChloeTzang]

Not pro-Trump. Lets be clear - he has really annoyed me with his anti-Ukraine pro-Putin policies as well as with the tariff wars.

NYC is different. THat Mayoral election has very little to do with Trump and bvery much to do with the future of NYC. Mamdani' policies have never worjked anywhere else, the result is going to be quite fascinating. On the other hand, Silwa was a waste of time, and cuomo was jusr another corrupt uniparty politician - so Mamdani was a clear alternative. I doubt he will be good for NYC given his policies - and we do know wjhat a lot of his policies will mean for women. NYC is about to become a lot less safe if he follows thru and delivers on his promises

 

[JohnEngelman]

Mamdani won against a split opposition. He underperformed Kamala Harris.

If it had been a two way race, Mamdani world performed better. He won on two issues. The first was: make New York City affordable. This resonated nationally because of the growing income gap. The second issue was Donald Trump. Most Americans do not like him.

He should have done more to emphasize his opposition to hate language and hate crimes against Jews. New York City is a bad place to run for office when there is any doubt about a politician's opposition to those.

It was the dumb leftist female youth vote that put the Communist in office:

80% of the Female Youth Vote Went to Zohran; 1 in 4 in NY Are DSA​

Fox News launched a new voter poll last night. It’s data that covers thousands of voters who cast ballots early on election day, by mail and in person.
Sandra Smith crunched the numbers.

• ​

The youth vote overwhelmingly went for Mamdani in this race; 75% of their support went to him. And when you break this down into gender, that number gets even bigger. Women under the age of 30 went for Mamdani by 80%.

Yep the modern female and their simps like Rob are the real threats to Western Civilization and freedom in America.

There are hardly any Communists left in the United States. There were few during the Great Depression. There were fewer during the War in Vietnam.

The threat to Western Civilization comes from the growing income gap.

To be popular capitalism needs to provide most Americans with a high and growing standard of living. American capitalism has not done that since the inflationary recession of 1974. Most young people know that. What reactionaries call "freedom" is power of the rich over the rest of us.

 

[JohnEngelman]

Hitler as a white nationalist Christian, babyboozer. Your support for the new NYC mayor is duly noted.

On page 7 of Hitler's Table Talk, 1941 = 1944 His Private Conversations Hitler is recorded as saying:

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew."

Mamdani' policies have never worjked anywhere else,

Living wages? Affordable childcare? Free public transport? We have them all in Australia and they work quite well, thank you.

There's already "fallout" because of the election outcome, new York's head fire chief just resigned.... the real estate brokers are reporting a massive influx of residential and commercial property being placed onto the market at fire sale prices, and it's being reported that dozens of families have rushed the remove their children from the schools to relocate the children to safer and better schools,
the communist/muslim "mayor" will defund the "once greatest police force in the world" violent crime will become epidemic and deadly, (just take a look at Dearborn Michigan).....
and through illegal taxation steal the money of the wage earners Fueling a great exodus from the the onslaught of financial terror..... reports are saying they are relocating to Florida
Yesterday the filthy Muslims closed times Square to pray to their heathen God in what could be described as an open air mosque.... and so it goes.......
One more item, the "top" one percent of wage earners in New York city pay 50 percent of the taxes ..... ask yourself what will become of the conquered city once a majority of the tax revenue are gone.....

In Australia the people are subjects (not citizens there is a difference) of the crown.... very similar to cattle or hogs or sheep, all live at the "will" of the crown, basically the people of Australia are property of the king...... fuck the king/queen

 

[coati]

...... fuck the king/queen

Yes, that's exactly why the No Kings protests have turned into a mass movement in America these days.

This was also reflected in the recent election results.

Don't diagree. The "eat the rich" taxes are what I was thinking of. And "free" is a misnomer. You pay for it via taxes. Now a clean well-run low-cost crime-free public transport system would be great.

Living wages? Agreed, which is why we need to start by deporting all the illegals and people who shouldn't be here who are dragging American wages down, as well as on-shoring all the jobs that were exported by the uniparty aparatchniks. THat, and breaking up the large business that destroyed so many small businesses ober the last 7 decades. Walmart. Costco. Target. Walgreens. Agricultural monoplies. Gas station chains. They all need to be broken up. We need to go back to a small business owner-operator model. You lose the economies of scale but yu regain community and a stable middle class.

We have been doing the exact same thing Rome did that ended up destroying Rome. It's not an exact equivalent but it is very very close.
