Isn't Mamdami the perfect candidate to receive big donor money? A Democrat running for mayor in a large blue city?


Hardly, none of the major Democrats in the state have endorsed him even after he won- Schumer, Hillebrand, Hochul, Jeffries, Clinton etc.

I don't know if he does anything else after this. Mayor of NYC doesn't prepare you much for another office and the proof will be in how he governs.

But it has resulted in two major revelations
1) The Democrats are at war with their own voters
2) The Israeli/US false flag of anti-semitism is not even succeeding in the most Jewish city in the world. Young people are done with Israel


We have a new electorate. The Under-35 segment from Bernie's 2016 campaign is now 10 years older. On top of that, no one under 50 follows corporate media -- so they aren't swayed by U.S. pro-war / pro-genocide propaganda.

They understand that "Vote Blue, No Matter Who" ONLY applies to them. It NEVER goes the other way.


If I recall, President Trump made inroads into the youth, Latino, and African American voters.

NYC is mostly women and women will vote with their feelings. They'll vote for a young Marxist that smiles.

The field will narrow, one way or another.

Between Cuomo, Adams, & Sliwa, 2 will bow out (and will be paid handsomely to do so!).

In the 2020 "Democratic" Party primary, Buttegieg & Klobuchar had big egos, too. In the end, the Party circled the wagons to achieve its top priority. They didn't choose Joe Biden because he was the best candidate to beat Trump; they chose him because he was in the best position to beat Bernie Sanders.

Trump made inroads among young, Latino, & African-American voters because
  • The Dems continued to express their "unwavering support" for Israel's ethnic cleansing & genocide, even though >80% of Democratic voters were calling for a cease-fire and an end to U.S. ILLEGAL weapons shipments to Israel.
  • The Dems refused to condemn the violent police crackdowns on anti-genocide campus protests, and they refused to support the 1st Amendment rights of anti-genocide protesters to Free Speech & Peaceable Assembly.
  • The Dems refused to allow a Palestinian to speak at their convention.
  • The Dems refused to acknowledge the economic hardship that inflation was causing. Instead, they brought out famous economists to talk about how great the economy was.
  • The Harris campaign threw FTC Chair Lina Khan under the bus to pick up a $7M donation from Reid Hoffman.
  • As the Harris campaign went on, they had Harris adopt all the bad policy positions that made Biden so UNpopular.
  • The Dems treated those demographic groups as if they were monoliths -- which is the norm for Identity Politics. As they doubled-down on what they thought were the popular positions (i.e., support for trans women competing in HS & college sports), they lost support.
  • The Dems WON the fundraising contest; but they were inept at turning campaign $$$ into VOTES.

Trump's stock rose when he was arrested, many saw the injustice, especially Black men. A number of Black podcasters became big supporters. One crew of young professionals, though split on Trump, had group listening events and commentary for dated Thomas Sowell clips.

Just like other men, Latino and African-Amercian men got tired of being lied to by the Democrats and the media. They saw Biden's weakened state but were told otherwise. Democrats told them the border was secure when they knew otherwise. They didn't see Trump as a fascist or white supremacist, despite being told otherwise.

Meanwhile, Inflation soared, groceries and gas prices soared, rent and housing prices soared, credit card debt soared, bankruptcies soared, and thousands of small businesses closed forever. And yet, for some reason, the Democrats seemed very interested in what was happening in Ukraine, a place no one knew where it was.

They saw through the lawfare against Trump, the raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the assassination attempt as an unjust, political witch-hunt. The picture of Trump pumping his fist after he got shot was a moment of patriotic inspiration that can't be overlooked.

Unlike Tim Walz who put tampons in boy's restrooms?

Most men got tired of woke. Democrat men started a White Dudes for Harris group.

One of the main reasons he has won the D nomination is that all the other candidates were shameless bootlickers.

Hypocrisy. The brother claimed to have a modest wedding, but really he is a champagne Socialist.

Three-four wedding events, 400 guests to Africa to the family's private compound, Seal team type security, and cost estimates of $500,000, or more.

NYers have been fleeing the city due to exorbitant rents and high cost of living, which the establishment politicians have failed to address.

Let's all remember that when Trump was Mamdani's age he was raping underage girls with his pal Jeffrey Epstein


Wow.

Now you're stooping to the ridiculous "whataboutism" that we see promoted by low IQ Trumpanzees.

Congrats!
If you were a stock, you'd be making new lows.

^Well that's a bit relevant here given that Mamdani's main rival Cuomo has been accused of sexual harassment by a dozen women.
