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
To be fair, this is a personal 9/11 for every conservative piss baby who lives in an imaginary world where every paranoid delusion they have about Mamdani is real.
Is that a threat?
Did you ask them why they think that would cause it?
That would be because of photos with the Imam Siraj Wahhaj… Who according to conservatives was organizer of the 1993 wtc bombing… but was not indicted or convicted of anything related to it.
So in conservative brain damaged logic, Giuliani was a Muslim, Socialist Democrat somehow responsible for 9/11.
You need better acquaintances.
This was my comparable train of thought… Giuliana was elected so 9-11 could happen! He is fully responsible no? /s
Yet conservatives get mad about Kirk jokes and wonder why they get kicked off platforms.
Or just jail them even when quoting their supreme pedo leader.
