What makes him "dangerous" IMO is not the socialist aspect of it but the totalitarian aspect of the woke, what we saw in 2020 - the Evergreen College generation, the puritans, the zealots, as embodied in Mamdani and AOC: Woke Socialism is different from regular socialism becuase it replaces "identity" for class.
The same people who think Mamdani is going to bring sharia law or whatever here tend to support the actual jihadist terrorist that murica supports in running Syria.
NYC had a vaccine mandate for its public servants—Get vaccinated or you’re fired. Why couldn’t it be—Get vaccinated or you can’t work until you do or when the mandate is lifted? Mandami said he supports forced vaccination of NYC’s public servants(even with a vaccine that neither stops infection nor prevents transmission).
NYC & NY State also have some wacky energy laws that are very financially harmful to its residents- renters, coops, single/multi family. Mandami supports them too. If he’s a socialist—why does he want to financially burden NYers even more?
I didn’t vote for him because he had AOC rally for him (and I’m socialist-leaning).
NYC has always been a city that its residents love—but a city that hates its residents. Should I pretend to believe that this will change under a Mandami admin?
The RNC wants Mamdani. Besides being a political foil, his policies and political views need to be exposed. American voters, especially younger people, need to see the true cost of socialism and the impact it will have on them. Rent control doesn’t work as landlords won’t improve their holdings and builders won’t build. Price controls won’t work. Sellers will go elsewhere. Taxation will have limited impact as the wealthy and wealth creators can pick up and move.
All of these aspects, as well as the greater intrusion on the lives of all New Yorkers, will be on full display.
Whatever the supposed failings of Mr Mamdani are, the total and utter immorality is not one of them, but rather something what his opponents stood for. That they received almost 50% of the votes is a sign of considerable depravity.
I don’t know about governing but the absolute unhinged reaction about Zohran by the Republicans has made me want to root for him.

“… the argument is that a ‘One on One’ contrast between Cuomo and Sliwa would have changed the dynamics of the race …”
Proofreading: should this be “between Cuomo and Mamdani”?
The same people who think Mamdani is going to bring sharia law or whatever here tend to support the actual jihadist terrorist that murica supports in running Syria.
Moronic IDIOCRACY
Haha. I’ve paid it absolutely no attention. The right is getting as bad as the left. Best to tune them out.

Should we pretend that this will change with any of the bullshit corrupt parties?
Both the DemoCRIPS and RepubliBLOODS are gangs that couldn't care about the working class.
Voting is irrelevant when the system is designed to only be winnable by one of the 2 corporate Mafia parties.
I'm waiting for Michael's cynical dive into the Mamdani movement as it moves forward. That should be interesting.
