Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.
Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.
The first thing my conservative acquaintance wrote was “I hope you re ready for another 9-11” because now its coming" They are really scared eh
Yet conservatives get mad about Kirk jokes and wonder why they get kicked off platforms.
So in conservative brain damaged logic, Giuliani was a Muslim, Socialist Democrat somehow responsible for 9/11.
You need better acquaintances.
Why do you have conservative acquaintances?
Because thats what adults do, they are capable of communicating and being near people with different values and opinions.
“if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”
The “acquaintance” needs a punch in the fucking face and a goodbye.
You do realize that having witty quotes doesnt change anything right? It might be rhetorically effective at face value, but there is no value other than hate at display here.
If hating nazis is wrong, I don’t want to be right
You’re kicking off over an acquaintance?
