With a degree in Africana Studies (minor in antisemitism) and a previous career as a home foreclosure specialist, Mamdani seems like the perfect candidate to run‡ the largest U.S. city. ‡ run it into the toilet
I suppose he has the MSU degree in grocery stores and logistics, having shopped at one at some point in his life. Funny how he doesn't want to take on the cannabis and liquor stores? Maybe in his 2nd term.
Heh.. You be an idiot. You think I have butthurt over watching the dems commit hari-kari.......again. The pubs get elected by pointing out that if you don't take steps to prevent it you will end out looking like NYC, Chicago or California. With the help of the NYC idiots I would not be surprised to see the republicans take the governorship in New York and continue to add pub congressional reps, that are much needed. They did it in 2024 and it is what gave the pubs a majority even if a slim one. Better to have your nostrils a quarter of an inch above water than below, however slim the difference is. Somewhat parenthetically, I will point out that Freddy Foreskin is from the land of loons. Coincidence? Let the viewers decide.
Dem's are lining right up to get in the car with Thelma and Louise. "He is very novel." Ahh no. He is very retro. It's back to Cuba with Chez Guevera and let's make NYC like a Venezuelan paradise under Hugo Chavez. Yup, another worker's paradise being planned.
Dems had an incumbent president with a negative approval rating in 2024.Historically that has always given the other Party the House, 100 percent every single time.White House too.
Mamdani’s Shock Win Has Wall Street Fretting Over ‘Hot Commie Summer’ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mamdani-shock-win-wall-street-174423405.html (Bloomberg) — Even Zohran Mamdani’s detractors recognize that the vibes are with the 33-year-old democratic socialist. “It’s officially hot commie summer,” hedge fund billionaire Dan Loeb said on X, after Mamdani shocked the Democratic establishment by crushing Andrew Cuomo in the party’s primary for the New York City mayoral race. It’s a quip that masks the deep anxiety among the city’s elite that a Mamdani win in the general election in November would lead to higher taxes and a subsequent exodus of wealthy residents from the five boroughs. Kathy Wylde, a New York power broker who’s connected business titans from across finance, real estate and media with city leaders for decades, said while Mamdani is inspiring to young people, his ideological approach “terrifies taxpayers and employers.” But enough voters across racially and economically diverse neighborhoods embraced Mamdani. In a speech early Wednesday, he reiterated that “a life of dignity should not be reserved for a fortunate few.” “I cannot promise that you will always agree with me,” Mamdani said. “But I will never hide from you.” At the heart of his success was a social media campaign — populist economic proposals and progressive cultural ideas packaged in slick videos designed to go viral. Just on Tuesday, he appeared in an Instagram video with Emily Ratajkowski, who has over 29 million followers on the platform. The model and actress wore a “Hot Girls for Zohran” t-shirt and urged voters to go to the polls. It was typical of the savvy and hustle that helped Mamdani amass an army of tens of thousands of volunteers, who relentlessly knocked on doors, stood on street corners and posted on social media to exhort voters. They evangelized his policies: Free childcare, cheaper groceries at government-owned stores, free bus rides, a rent freeze and more — much of it paid for with tax hikes on the rich. Not mentioned: Those tax increases would need approval from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, who has said she is opposed to the idea. Mamdani also wants to raise $70 billion in debt, another effort that has little chance of succeeding. Still, in the moneyed corridors of Manhattan, wild forecasts of doom are taking hold. Wall Street headhunter Michael Nelson said the mood is grim among clients who typically make more than $1 million a year. “This will be the end of New York City as we know it” is how his deep-pocketed clients are reacting to the prospect of Mamdani winning in November, he said. Already, stocks of companies tied to New York City real estate are getting hit. Flagstar Financial Inc., a lender to apartment buildings, dropped as much as 6.7% on Wednesday before paring its decline to 5%. Corporate landlords Empire State Realty Trust, SL Green Realty and Vornado Realty Trust all fell. (More at above url)
