Zohran Mamdani on pace to become NYC Mayor in major upset over Cuomo

LOL

this is the only position republicans will willingly and enthusiastically give to a black person

Adams did all that shucking and jiving doing jazz hands, and the best he can get after all that is HUD?

 

I wonder if Adams is friends with Clarence Thomas.

 

Trump is apparently now running the Democratic Party behind the scenes

Bill Ackman backs Cuomo for NYC mayor and urges Adams to step aside in stunning U-turn

Top Trump adviser floats Eric Adams for Saudi Arabia ambassadorship to thin out busy NY mayoral field, give Cuomo a shot to beat Mamdani

Eric Adams can literally save the future of NYC by exiting the race and accepting the HUD position. A Mamdani win all but ensures the rich leave NY, and the poor are left to fight over the ashes. See Chicago as a prime example. Huge budget deficits, tax rates up, rampant violent crime... the rich and large corporations have left town for Miami and Dallas.

Once Wall Street leaves, NYC crumbles. Republicans should aggressively get behind the development of the Dallas-based financial services hub. Much has already happened (new stock exchange, corporate moves and large scale relocations (Fidelity, Schwab, Goldman))...


GOOD DAY

 

The neoliberal scam is up. America's economy is not working for most people anymore. But it's a LONG battle. Capitalism needs to take the L and re-calibrate. The fact that we have a system that allows people like Cuomo (or Paxton) the AUDACITY to run for serious office is a joke.

 

There is no better economic system than capitalism. Biden's inflation is what has you aggrieved.




GOOD DAY

 

Capitalism is a VAST system (and Mamdani is a capitalist) with all sorts of levers, cycles and history. It's current form (crony state capitalism) is not working for most people. About 90% are hurting. And about .03% not only earn an obscenely disproportionate amount, more importantly, they use the money to control the government (and it affects both sides).

Smarter, richer, more economically savvy and better people than you (like Ray Dalio) do not think the current version of capitalism is working.

The fact idiots (on both sides) try to pigeonhole it to left vs right when it's both sides is why people like Mamdani will continue to gain popularity.

PS. Inflation started with money-printing and covid shutdowns that occurred WHILE TRUMP was in office.This is a wealth gap issue, not just an inflation issue.

 

would love to see where the 90% figure comes from

thanks. did a search for "hurting." The word doesn't show up in that article, and I'm not seeing anything synonymous that could reasonably be parsed as "hurting." If you've got a specific section in mind from that piece, that would help.

 

Here's another - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/m...er-to-the-economy-like-they-used-to-5c5aaca5? - I don't mind the linking, but I cant also teach you reading comprehension, context clues, etc.. I get some of you can only comprehend 5th grade Fox News/tiktok language but it's not my problem to teach you (borderline socialist, me helping you. Go bootstrap an education lulz).

 

Correct -- to save the world from the SCAM that the liberals foisted upon us -- COVID. The money-printing was intended to be short-term in nature, and only to address the crisis. Biden used the opportunity (well after the crisis subsided) to attempt to reshape government into a larger, all-powerful system that people were forced to depend on. Trump is restoring sanity to the size of government and will slash the budget deficit over time. Inflation has already been tamed.


GOOD DAY

 

Dems pulling out all the stops

Andrew Cuomo meets with Al Sharpton in apparent attempt for endorsement as speculation mounts in NYC mayoral race

Mamdani, if Elected Mayor, Pledges to Order N.Y.P.D. to Arrest Netanyahu
Zohran Mamdani expanded on his vow to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it would show that New York “stands up for international law.” Experts said the move would be impractical and likely illegal.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/nyregion/mamdani-arrest-netanyahu-nyc-mayor.html

 

It shows how delusional one would be if they thought this was a politically unpopular thing to say. Netanyahu is maybe the most unpopular person on the planet right now and a war criminal. I couldn’t think of too many more popular positions you could take when discussing foreign policy other than arresting Putin maybe.

It also would be insulting to Jewish people in New York to assume they have blind allegiance to the president of Israel just because they are Jewish. I assume Mamdani will carry the Jewish vote in NYC quite comfortably.

 

Greg Abbott should be up in NY meeting with the major Wall Street banks to lure more of them to Texas. Texas could reshape its economy by enticing more global banks and financial services firms to relocate here. Many already have. Mamdani could be the last straw for businesses in NY.

 

and then maybe right after that he could arrest Trump, in which case we could all chant in unison "We've got the b*stard now!!"
