Elections NYC mayoral race

[HereticBD]

I know I sound like a broken record here but how can anyone in good faith fearmonger about Mamdani while simultaneously support the "big, beautiful bill" which would give billionaires a trillion dollar tax break, destroy clean energy, kill an additional 50,000 Americans annually by throwing millions of people off health insurance, destroy rural hospitals, allow the sale of federal land, and there's like a hundred more things that are abysmal.

Even in MAGA's nightmare scenario of Zohran being a terrorist a 9/11 scale attack on NYC once a month would still probably have less long-term damage than that disaster of a bill passing.

Save all this defense for when he's actually mayor and "shockingly" drives that city into the fucking ground with his horrible policies.

I can't wait for the excuses.

I don't care if he eats indian food with his hands. People eat pizza with their hands. The bigger crime is this.

Has anyone looked up this clown's resume? He has only worked 3 years in his life and that includes working for his Mom and his "rap career".

He did get a degree in African Studies from some unknown college in Maine (Bowdoin College)... so there's that.

He's a straight up Communist and has proposed seizing apartments to create city run projects. He wants no private housing property in the city.

Let's review:

• No relevant education
• No relevant work experience
• Communist on Housing and Food Distribution
• Wants to disband the NYPD
• Whats to Tax White Neighborhoods at a greater rate - He's a racist
• For Global Intifada - He's an anti-Semite

I remember the huge exodus of New Yorkers out of the state when DeBlasio became Mayor. This is going to blow that away. Do not be surprised when Wall Street evaporates and the market is moved to Florida.

Zohran Mamdani has barely ever had a job, with just 3 years in the workforce — including his ‘rap career’ and a gig for his mom

Zohran Mamdani’s ‘chilling’ call for ‘seizing the means of production’ draws outrage from Communist refugees: ‘Dangerous and scary’

In the resurfaced clip, Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist, notes that certain issues socialists “firmly believe in,” such as boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel an…

Idi Amin? I remember growing up and asking my parents who the meanest (worst) person in the world was and they would throw that name out more often than not.

He was just misunderstood.

Please enlighten me how "he's a straight up Communist".

Please enlighten me how "he's a straight up Communist".

I think it works something like this..
"anybody I do not like and is not on my side, is a straight up Communist".

 

[Whippy McGee]

Please enlighten me how "he's a straight up Communist".

"Seize the means of production" refers to the idea of taking control of the resources and tools necessary for producing goods and services,which is straight up related to communist movements.

What would he actually have to advocate for you to acknowledge it?

How about being a member of the communist party?
Dude is probably more of a light social democrat or European liberal than a communist.

That's the best you've got? Seriously? Give me some specifics. You claimed he's a Communist. Let's hear his specific policies that support your claim.

When you advocate to seize the means of production, you're a Communist. I gave two examples with links.

No, it takes more than that to be a communist.
To be a communist you actually have to embrace all of communism and its ideas.
Not one or two issues.
Will he try and get rid of the social classes, money, the state?

You know things communists are known for.

 

[NoSmilez]

Here is his platform.
I can say I don't agree with everything but I am willing to be fair. He is not a communist.

Zohran for NYC

Zohran Mamdani is running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers.

Note that Newsom (White person) is still free as a bird despite being less popular than Mamdani and more directly antagonistic to Trump than Mamdani.
And literally daring Trump and Homan to come get him.

you're accidentally writing his next campaign for him. you make him sound like the coolest dude on earth.

communism, much like capitalism, typically requires some state fascism to silence opposition. zohran's a democratic socialist. there's a lot of the same policy and theory but the power ultimately lies in the hands of the people, as it almost always should

The government seizing property is cool to you?

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

The government seizing property is coll to you?

depending on the context, yeah. seizing housing from landlords sounds unironically awesome.
