I hope he's right and I hope Mamdani wins... lol..

I guess there are no "normal" candidates in the democratic party...

PHILLIPS: Well, Omar, if Democrats would just put up normal candidates right now, it'd be the best strategy imaginable. But when Democrats elevate people like Mamdani -- and look at him. I do not know him. I can't -- I'm not going to disparage him personally, but I can tell you, based on what I've read about his positions, his platform, you know, it's nonsensical to believe that America is looking for Democratic socialists around the country.
 

Political Analyst Warns NYC: Socialist Zohran Mamdani Poised to Win​


I triple dog dare NYC to elect this sorry f-word.

Political analyst Mark Halperin evaluated the prospects of NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and his assessment isn’t optimistic for the city. New Yorkers will need to quickly understand who this self-described socialist really is, or risk facing serious consequences.

During an appearance on “Kudlow,” Halperin discussed the chances of Mamdani, who campaigned against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, winning the New York mayoral race, predicting that Mamdani has an 85% chance of winning the mayoral race. Mamdani won the Democratic nomination earlier this month, capturing 56 percent of the vote and defeating more moderate, establishment candidates.

"Not today. There was some opposition research dropped on him,” Halperin responded to Larry Kudlow when asked whether Mamdani could be defeated in New York. “And if there’s something that’s akin to a silver bullet against a communist, maybe. But, barring that, I think he’s got an 85 percent chance of being his honor come next year.”
 

America’s ‘useful idiots’ — the left calls for revolution as the ultimate virtue signal​


https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5397742-2-socialism-youth-american/

During the Cold War, Soviet communists reportedly referred to American liberals as “useful idiots.” Although the origin of the quote has been challenged (and attributed to both Lenin and Stalin), it captured many of the adherents of communism after World War II. From higher education to Hollywood, dilettantes on the left embraced Marxism with little real understanding of the philosophy or its implications.

We are now seeing the rise of a new generation of armchair revolutionaries who are calling for everything from the overthrow of the U.S. government to the seizure of factories and homes.

Democratic New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani personifies this new movement of young people lacking any memory of the failure of socialist and communist systems in the 20th Century.

Mamdani is perfect for trust-fund baby Trotskyites. The privileged son of a radical Columbia professor and a Hollywood producer, Mamdani went to the elite Bowdoin College, which charges over $70,000 annually in tuition. He is part of the “radical chic” of American higher education, where extreme views are fully mainstream.

Mamdani shows the appeal of mouthing Marxist manifestos as manifest truths. It is Marxism-lite — promises of everything from rent control to making “Halal eight bucks again.”

Good timing..............

Those Marxist Democrats​

What will the Democratic Party’s 2028 platform look like? The way things are going, no one should be surprised if it looks like a manifesto written by a couple of bitter, revolutionary 19th century Germans.

Marxism is no longer on the Democratic Party fringe. It is taking it over.

We see this in the unpleasantness of Zohran Mamdani, the recent winner of the New York City mayoral primary.

The callow Mamdani describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” Fact-checkers, who seem to never fact check the incessant claims by the media and Democratic politicians and operatives that President Donald Trump and other Republicans are fascists, say he’s no communist.

While he might not be a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, several of his known positions are inarguably in line with Marxism.

Like Karl Marx, the privileged Mamdani, who calls himself a “BMW Bolshevik,” sees the world through the lens of class struggle. The platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, of which he is a member, “fights” for “the abolition of capitalism” as well as the “social ownership of all major industry and infrastructure,” two Marxist principles that Mamdani supports.

Mamdani is also promising “free stuff” for New Yorkers, from bus trips to child care; proposes to freeze rents (to stick it to those greedy capitalist landlords, no doubt); wishes to “shift the tax burden … to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods“; and says there should be no billionaires, though he hasn’t said what he’d do with the 123 who live New York City.

There has been some light pushback from within the party. A few Jewish Democrats in Congress have been “raising concerns about” him, says The Hill. But many in the party are aligning themselves with Mamdani, even Bill Clinton, whose “third way” policies melded ideas from both the left and right, and by today’s standards was an ultra-conservative Democrat.
 
Every lib on here would vote for this guy if they lived in NYC. Not one has said a word against this guy representing their party. Let that sink in. They might as well be called the Socialist/Communist party at this point.
 
The good thing is in reality, barely anyone voted for him since turnout was so low.

Bad thing is, it's still a blue city who would ignorantly vote for the worst democrat before the best of any other party.

Folks better take this seriously. There's a strong chance the votes could be split in the election, and this clown wins.

Have y'all seen his father's book justifying suicide bombings. Democrats are supporting this guy. If Cuomo enters, this is a real threat of happening.
