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

He was outspent 5 to 1 by Cuomo in the primary, will also be vastly outspent in the general election.

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

I'm not sure they're done with Israel as a sovereign nation as much as they are done with Netanyahu's government.

Otherwise, you could maybe say that young people around the world are done with the U.S. (of course that might be true, but probably not... a lot of young people still want to come here).

Yes, but I don't think Israel recovers from him. Its a pariah state- you don't bounce back from genocide.

I may be wrong but Zohran Mamdani will get his 15 minutes of fame but will flame out as quickly as he entered the scene. He has a history as a politician and is carrying way too much baggage around.
I don't agree with him using "white neighborhoods" as part of his political framing, but my understanding is that if you actually look at the policy proposal it is about raising taxes on the areas with higher property values and is not broken out by race.

Mamdami is probably going to lose against Adams, those types of smear campaign usually work. Adams is going to have a huge campaign budget, it might end up approaching the all-time mayoral campaign record or over $100 million by Bloomberg. Cuomo burned $24 million in his failed Democrat bid for mayor.

Adams has the same corruption issues as Cuomo, and Mamdani will now have the (D) next to his name in a heavily (D) city. He's the strong favorite until further notice.

Let's hope. He'll get the Socialist, Anarchist, Muslim, and many POC votes. He's glib, young, handsome... and a train wreck.

P.S. Can't he pass?

Had another great day in NYC today. Mrs. dajo9 and I came into Penn Station by train, walked up to Broadway and saw the matinee Book of Mormons (hilarious and great). Then walked down to Chelsea for dinner and walked back to Penn Station to leave.

By coincidence, today was the Pride Parade so the city was extra colorful. Always great to be in a great, diverse, and free place that magats are terrified of.

If Leticia James succeeded in imprisoning Trump, she would have been the Democratic frontrunner.

I wonder if Mamdani has any thoughts about these contradictions as he celebrated "diversity" today?

Paid hack wants to make you believe that the guy who went to Bowdoin and whose mother directed "Kama Sutra" wants to turn NYC into a califate.

I will say, Gen Z needs to think this through more. I would suggest they travel the world a bit.

Most Muslims are like most people in any religion, i.e. fine. But the radical, most fundamentalist factions are trouble. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, doesn't matter. They're bad news.

All the excitement on off topic over "Beto" Mandari strikes another repeat performance that makes me warm all over. Winning under 10% of the total electorate on first ranking votes doesn't necessarily translate to a ringing mandate for Mandari, but I'm sure Axios, Dajo Barrister and others see him as the next messiah.

With Cuomo likely bailing to a judgeship and Silva under pressure to drop out from Trump and GOP stalwarts, this is the best thing that could happen to Adams, as black, business, Jewish, blue collar and Asian voters (furious with Mandari's views on SHSAT) line-up behind the incumbent mayor who can pander to their concerns.

He wouldn't be intellectually inconsistent if he did so according to his faith.
