    Oh my! You made the very same 'personal vs professional' mistake as @astros123! I mean, how low can the IQ go? And this was after he was corrected! I think astros123 just tries to go too fast and doesn't think through things well enough. I suspect your problem is a language barrier(?).


    GOOD DAY

    American farmers were making record profits under biden. AG exports hit record highs under biden. We didn't need to bailout farmers under Biden. This is a man made issue with your cult leader 100% responsible.

    Bailing out farmers is only a thing now cuz your dumbass messiah pissed off the entire world


    You can always count on the "anti corruption registered Democrat" to come running to the defense of most corrupt president in history anytime you disparage him. What a sad pathetic way to spend your retirement.

    Can't believe this question was actually asked and Mamdani had the only America First answer. I missed this during election ramp up (video starts at 11:20 on the "which foreign country would you visit first" question):

    Mamdani has always been a real one. Look at all the racist MAGAts in this thread having a meltdown and spewing hateful rhetoric. This is who MAGA is at heart. Racist trolls cosplaying as Merica first.

    Your boy gives Argentina 40 billion for nothing
    25 million Americans get rejected for cheap insurance and he shuts the government down cuz he dont wanna help his people.

    Merica first my ass.

    It is rather weird how obsessed some conservatives are with the NYC mayor's race every few years, as well as this Mamdani character.

    You don't see this street running both ways.

    Liberals don't obsess over the governor's race in Wyoming or North Dakota. We see them elect another arch conservative, shrug, and move on with our lives.

    100% false. You just named two of the bottom five states for population. New York City has 8.5M people. It is larger than like 40+ states. Of course it'll draw more media attention. You dont think "liberals" do the same thing? Texas and Florida are the equivalent places for conservatives that liberals trip out over. NYC, California, and Chicago are those places on the other side.

    Saying "Im staying in NYC and will work with all New Yorkers including Jewish New Yorkers, whether that be at the synagogue, subway platforms, restaurants, etc.", meanwhile everyone before him is fighting over themselves to say "I will visit the holy land!" and then Cuomo trying to call him antisemitic for wanting to stay on NYC is crazy work.

    This is a weird ass timeline but I'm here for it.

    Greg Abbott says 'battle lines' were drawn after Zohran Mamdani's win

    Abbott, a Republican seeking a record fourth term in office, posted numerous times about Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race.

    The governor offered “thoughts & prayers” for New York in a post on X Tuesday night. On Wednesday, he wrote that the Democratic socialist’s win makes Texas the “unrivaled HQ for capitalism in the U.S.”

    “The battle lines between capitalism and socialism were clearly drawn last night,” Abbott wrote. “We will secure capitalism for the future of our country and deny the expansion of socialism that is creeping across the US.”

    Hinojosa, meanwhile, responded to the governor’s “thoughts & prayers” post:

    “Wouldn't it be nice if Texas had a governor who was focused on the things *Texans need* instead of…….whatever this is.”

    Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey both won because they “ran campaigns rooted in lowering costs, protecting health care, and improving public schools,” Hinojosa wrote in a post on Wednesday.

    “If last night is any indication of what’s to come, 2026 could be a wave year driven by voters fed up with corruption and high prices,” she wrote. “And women will be leading that wave.”

    :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

    Yeah democrats purposely imported tons of democratic voters in one of the most progressive cities in the world and chose not to import them to swing states where they need them. They CHOOSE nyc and not Detroit, Atlanta, Vegas, Milwaukee or any other swing city that might decide a national election.

    Its truly just how utterly low iq brainwashed you people are on the right. Remarkable

    He won fair and square and good luck to NYC. I hope to visit someday. Mainly I want to go to the US Open and watch tennis.

    I don't see liberals hyper focusing on arch-conservatives and their races in extremely red states the way conservatives seem to do with their liberal counterparts.

    Every once in a while Greg Abbott might make the rounds for something particularly heinous he says or does, but it really does not compare to the way the conservative hivemind goes so bonkers over liberals doing liberal things in liberal places.

    I see liberals hooting and hollering about conservatives mostly in battleground races. Think Ron Desantis, Ted Cruz, Roy Moore, etc. Those are winnable where the attention makes sense. Gnashing teeth about what the mayor of a city that one of the most liberal places in the country that is like 75% Democrat is just a weird way to spend your time and attention, IMO.

    If you can think of a legitimate example of this phenomenon, please share it. I cannot come up with one.

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-fall-of-new-york-city-in-8-charts/

    How did an Islamist socialist who posed with an unindicted terror bombing coconspirator become elected to head a city of terror survivors, the “most Jewish city in America” and how did he defeat an Italian-American political dynasty in what was once an Italian-American city?

    Because that New York City, the one people imagine from movies, no longer exists.

    In 1989, the last year of Mayor Ed Koch’s administration, Jews outnumbered Muslims roughly 4 to 1. By 2013, the last year of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, the number of Muslims had doubled and the number of Jews continued to drop.

    And by the time Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo, there were more Muslims than Italian Americans in NYC.

    So much for New York City being the “most Jewish city” in America. Or “Italian city”. Like so many European cities, it’s been redefined by waves of Muslim mass migration.

    There wasn’t an Irish candidate in the race because the number of Irish-Americans in what is considered “one of the most Irish city in America” long ago dropped below that of Muslims.

    Never mind the Polish population represented by Curtis Sliwa which is even smaller.

    New York City’s old ‘ethnic’ working class population is gone. Much of it fled the chaos and violence of the 1970s and 1980s. By the time Mayor Rudy Giuliani restored order by cracking down on crime, they didn’t come back. Instead they were replaced by college students, hipsters and third world immigrants who not only voted for Democrats, but for the far Left.

    5 million residents were born outside New York City. Less than 4 million were born in the city.

    While New Yorkers went for Cuomo, 50% to 38% for Mamdani, those who had lived in the city for 10 years or less went for Mamdani by 82% to 16%.

    This reflects both external mass immigration but internal migration from other parts of the country. Another way to measure the foreign population in New York City is to look at the proportion of those to whom English is a second language. The number of non-English speakers has been steadily rising since 1990 and the number of English speakers declined from 63% to 52%.

    It’s now almost even.

    Much of New York City no longer even speaks English. That’s why Mamdani could campaign in Arabic.

    While a lot of parts of the country, including Florida, complain about New Yorkers moving there, New Yorkers (while they still existed in NYC) complained about non-New Yorkers moving to the city.

    This internal migration by non-New Yorkers sent prices soaring and fundamentally altered the character of the city from a tough working class and middle class city to a hipster paradise.

    The college students who moved to the city and got jobs here were less likely to get married and form families leading to Manhattan becoming one of the largest (and certainly the densest) reservoirs of singles in the country. Combined with the growth in ‘single parent’ households among minority groups, the New York City of families has disappeared.

    A majority of households in New York City are single now. The number of families continues to drop. While exit polls didn’t ask about marital status, single people tend to vote more liberal.

    Pre-election polls showed Mamdani winning over only 16% of Jews, 28% among Catholics and 36% among Protestants. The only ‘religious’ group Mamdani performed were “Other” which presumably were boosted by his Muslim voter base. How does a politician lose religious people by decisive numbers and yet win a mayoral election? Religion has been declining as well. Especially among white New Yorkers.

    The religiously affiliated are still a majority, but the numbers of the religiously unaffiliated have been rising sharply. Among those 45 years old and younger, the group that Mamdani won, the gap is 60% to 40%. The gap is narrower still, 55% to 45%, among those under 30, and among those under 25 years old, it’s split evenly. Among white New Yorkers, a majority are unaffiliated.

    These were some of Mamdani’s best voters.

    Paradoxically (or not so paradoxically) the lack of real religiosity among New York City’s Christian and Jewish populations is part of the reason why an Islamist won the mayoralty.

    Mamdani’s defeat of Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams, all personalities dating back to an older New York City, the city of the 80s and 90s, marked the defeat of old New York City by a ‘new’ New York City. This city has no character, no tradition and no roots. It’s interchangeable with every upscale gentrified city in America and all across Europe.

    This Neo-New York could just as easily be London or Toronto. It has no past and no future. Like Mamdani, it’s not part of America, and is open to being colonized by any group with organization, determination and a mission. What was done to London is happening to New York City. It’s futile to ask why New Yorkers are letting this happen. Like me, they no longer live there.

    Conservatives are scared that their lying assed fear bubble about democratic socialists is about to be popped in a big way, and their ignorant base is going to finally start voting for their own interests instead of the billionaire class.

    This guy can't see how this is no different from someone running for office in a Polish or Italian neighborhood, or at a St Patrick's Day parade trying to get folks of certain ethnicities. BUT WAIT THEY ARE WHITE SO THAT IS OK. and it causes him less worries about being replace because he can't compete, I guess.
