  • It's going to backfire on conservatives. I see a lot of parallels to Trump's rise. So long as Mamdani doesn't back down or apologize, he will be the de facto leader of the DNC going into 2028. The DNC has an opportunity to snag up some of the populist vote in next election cycle.

    I don't understand why anyone is shocked that NYC, composed of 50% immigrants, didn't want to vote for another politician that prioritizes Israel's interests and voted instead for someone promising to fix their own issues. 

    Fwiw, I think Mamdani's economic views are nuts and should be nowhere near our federal government.

    There you go again. You love this nutjob liar freak because he hates Israel, too? wow.

     His ideas are crazy because he has no idea how much money he wouldn't have to even begin to try to do anything he says. But there are plenty of young people who don't have much who will buy into it. But the despair will follow because this wannabe communist/socialist mayor will completely fail.

      It will backfire on the dems. They have already blown past being a genuine American political party - they have thrived on radicalism and fake promises to everyone else. It fell apart, and I don't see that they can put the past behind them, not one bit.

    No, as I said, Mamdani's economic beliefs are idiotic, but there are a lot of Americans angry at the system and wealth inequality, which he is capitalizing on. There are a lot of Americans who would prefer Israel fight their own wars without our tax money bankrolling them. I wish that Americans, such as yourself, didn't have suicidal empathy for Israel. I am glad this is changing, but I wish it didn't require a massive influx of Muslim immigrants to spark it. The social issues that are going to arise from dealing with a growing Islamic community in America are going to be painful. After the boomers die, Israel's free lunch is over.

    And what do we get? Just straight up racist comments coming from her right, including politicians. And Charlie Kirk going full blown racist. 

    Oh, and Trump clearly being jealous. Now, he's threatened enough he's calling him a communist (false) and potentially illegal (false). If Trump tries to detain, denaturalize, and deport a popular political opponent we've officially reached full authoritarianism.

    Let's see....

    "Communism is a political and economic ideology that aims to create a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively, eliminating private property and wealth disparities. It seeks to distribute resources based on individual needs rather than profit."

    *************

    so city owned grocery stores fits the communist label. Driving out more and more businesses out of the city gets the city to own those buildings, like they tried to do to Pres Trump's building. So they want to supertax the wealthy to give to everyone else. Everyone is just as poor. But of course, everyone can be poor, but mamdami will be rich, eating the finest food, having the finest clothes. 

    You know, like putin or chi or kim.... etc. Free health care, free child care. sure.  With no money. Watch - he will sue our federal gov for funds but he will lose. They defund the police in NYC ? 30 dollars minimum wage? why not just promise everyone a million dollars worth of gold in their pocket? lol

    But, as to mamdummy being a communist - he is. That is his intent.

    When Zohran Mamdani hailed Kerala communist leader as 'kind of Mayor New York City needs'

    Zohran Mamdani in 2020 shared a post by CPIM's Puducherry committee congratulating Arya Rajendran for becoming the youngest mayor of a city anywhere around the world and now many Americans are branding him a communist over this "endorsement" of Left-leaning politics

    but it's ok with you for the rest of the world we support to have our free lunches? but not those terrible Jews? How about stopping the millions/billions that the fake palestinians get from the UN ? and IRAN? wait, even Israel gives them aid. But your hamas takes it and lets the "palestinians" starve and die.

    well, I wouldn't go that far, but it is ridiculous trying to buy friends all over the planet. But I do support Israel because their enemies want to destroy them and us. So, helping Israel means they are fighting a war against terrorism for us. Except, they live in bunkers and safe rooms and threats and muslim/"palestinian"/arab threats of violence, and violence acted out. The terrorist countries get plenty of free lunches from the russians and chinese and other arabic terror states. We don't help Israel, and it's another Holocaust - iran and their proxy groups have said so many times.

    and I don't believe in letting the whole world fall apart - like we did with WWI and WWII, and having to act hugely and lose so many American military lives.

    1) did you even read that poll? More people think we're giving Israel too much support instead of two little 

    2) that poll is a year and a half old. Opinion towards Israel has absolutely dropped since then (The poll vapor posted, the same one I posted previously)

    It's hilarious watching you flail around to try to back up your belief with a poll and then completely fall on your face

    He doesn't hate Israel

    It isn't a "super tax" on the wealthy, it's an extra 2%

    You always just assume people want the free shit and that's why they buy into it. I'm doing great financially and I'm happy to support more programs. But, ultimately, the issue isn't at this income level, it's with the super wealthy and our ever increasing wealth gap

    Funny to me seeing you conservatives completely cucked when it comes to the wealthy. You'll do anything to protect your precious wealthy elites (while acting like you're anti elite .... but then voting for the guy with his name in gold everywhere). Do you think you'll be a billionaire too someday? Do you think it'll trickle down? Just stand there with your mouth open... Any day now

    sure, he isn't a communist - he just very clearly said NYC needs a communist type guy as mayor. Gov owned stores is communist. I gave you the definition. The nutjob SAYS NYC NEEDS A COMMUNIST MAYOR.

    of course he won't say he is a communist and alienate a whole lot of votes.

    You really need to grow the hell up, birdgirl.

    You absolutely didn't read the poll at all. You ready the headline. Which told you what you wanted. So you blindly posted here. 

    Only to learn that not only does the poll not support you, but it's 1.5 years old and completely out of date at this point. 

    So now you'll flail around. Type your "farts", ignore everything I'm saying and do anything you can to deflect. But you're wrong, you're a moron, and you completely lose this one

    "I don't care about the date"

    Hahaha

    So you just generally have no idea what you're talking about. You don't think the last year and a half has been relevant to the public's perception of Israel?

    Or is your ability to determine the relevance and legitimacy of a poll just as bad as your ability to determine the legitimacy of a source on the Internet? Are you purposely dense or does your media literacy suck all around?

    Mamdani isn't a communist 

    He, on-the-record, declared that his goal is to "seize the means of production."  It's fair to call him a Marxist, communist, and socialist.

    His call to raise taxes on whiter, richer neighborhoods is an even stronger brand of millennial racism that helped get Trump elected. If we want a future with right wing death squads, this is how they're created.
