Congrats to Mamdani in advance! It will be a blow out.
I'll note Cuomo is so uniquely odious, he's sewing this up for Mamdani. And Sliwa isn't really a contender at allWithout waxing poetic, Cuomo sucks and the other guy who's running... no one cares.

I hope Mamdani is the beginning of a larger change in politics. I am really excited.
I do wonder what would've happened if, Mamdani won the primary, but the indepedent/primary loser running instead of Cuomo was a normal inoffensive Democrat.
I read the topic title as Zohran Mamdani has been locked up and I got worried for a second.

There's a nonzero chance that that's the next step.Yeah...sadly I can see it, with the racist campaign against him.
I read the topic title as Zohran Mamdani has been locked up and I got worried for a second.That's coming
Anyway, good news

Maybe best not to put Mamdani and "locked up" in the same sentence.
Don't want MAGA getting ideas.
Time for the Sliwa sweep
I hope Mamdani is the beginning of a larger change in politics. I am really excited.same hope this paves way for the future and more progressive win seats in the coming primaries

The online left is going to be so disappointed when it turns out he isnt Socialist Jesus.
Look, he puts in Universal childcare before everyone in NYC hates him? Net benefit.He isnt a king. Theres borough leaders and a city council to deal with to get things done. Its not as simple as As mayor I hereby declare universal childcare!
I'm serious, people like maybe 3 NYC mayors

Trump has already threatened to withhold giving NY money if he wins and some of the other rabid animals are trying to get the DOJ on him (you know, just for not being a white male Republican), so theyre no doubt going to try.
Congressman Randy Fine of Florida and Andy Ogles of Tennessee both staunch proponents of Donald Trumps presidential administration have been leading the push, which has been condemned by Democratic officials and Muslim civil rights groups as racist and anti-Muslim.
Fine in recent days demanded the federal government review every naturalization of the past 30 years starting with Mamdani.
Fine told the New York Post: I just think we need to take a hard look at how these folks became citizens, and if there is any fraud or any violation of the rules we need to denaturalize and deport.
He continued: I know that theres a lot of us that are very, very concerned about the enemy within people who have come to this country to become citizens, to destroy it.
Meanwhile, since June, Ogles has pushed for a justice department investigation of Mamdani, with calls to deport him over claims that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to which Mamdani belongs are a communist organization that he didnt disclose in his naturalization process.

The online left is going to be so disappointed when it turns out he isnt Socialist Jesus.Let 'em. Life is about compromise. Even if he oversold what he could do, or a lot of his stuff gets pushed down, I'm sure he'll still accomplish something and he's certainly better than any alternative.
We'll need to wait and see more after how it affects races across the country. What works in NYC doesn't necessarily translate elsewhere. Bill de Blasio winning way back when was also a really positive sign for progressives after like....20 years of Repulican mayors and that didn't end so great either.I think Mamdani will be the litmus test if the DNC will have to go more moderate or more left.
The hysteria over him being an Islamist antisemite is cynical bad faith nobody should take seriously. What's going in Maine is testing things in another way.

There are going to be a load of a Karens once they show him getting inaugurated during the new years celebrations.

I wish Mamdani the best, he's gonna needed it to hold against the oncoming hate parade.
Fingers crossed. It's true that much of what Mamdani wants done may not get done, but I'd rather have a mayor who *wants* to do big things and can't get them done over a mayor who doesn't even want to try and acknowledge that these are problemsYeah, there are always going to be people who are upset because they expected sweeping change to happen faster than it realistically can, but even if the best he can manage is incremental progress that's still progress and it's better than leaders who are fine with maintaining the status quo and a lot better than leaders who are actively making things worse.
I swear if Democrats are back in power, they need to throw EVERY Republican into the sewers along with Trump.I'm HEAVILY paying attention to this. If there's an election in 2028, any democrat campaigning on "let's bring the country together!" should be disqualified and thrown in prison.

Do either of you think this is a realistic proposition?Stranger things have happened. Like the host of The Apprentice running for president and winning.
