Mamdani is dangerous, but also pretty stupid

Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary and is poised to become the next mayor of the Big Apple. He’s young, personable, has amazing charisma, and is being touted by some as the new face of the party.

Others are suggesting that Mamdani, with all his attributes, is offering a path forward for Democrats to win in both the midterms and in 2028.

These people are just as stupid as Mamdani himself.

Mamdani is an avowed socialist who advocates for socialist policies, which are always going to resonate with people who are idiotic, jealous of other people’s wealth, or too lazy to try and make something of their life, but even as those go, Mamdani is a special kind of stupid.

From Legal Insurrection:

Of all the items on the agenda of Zohran Mamdani, the socialist candidate for New York City mayor, the proposal for government-run grocery stores received the most attention. The Uganda native vowed to:

[C]reate a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real “public option.”

...like so many other socialists, he’s mathematically moronic.

[laplata]

He is a lot smarter than those who fall for his dangerous nonsense.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Not to be underestimated.

[dfwgator]

Or he’s smart enough to know how stupid the voters are.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Stupid is dangerous.

[Billthedrill]

But his handlers and donors aren’t.

[FlingWingFlyer]

He’s smart enough to know that Marxism and Socialism cannot survive without capitalist gringos to feed off of. Socialists and communists are parasite. I saw a big fat, ignorant Mexican guy on the tube last week telling a reporter that Socialism is good. It’s problem is that it doesn’t work everywhere but it will work here because America has the money to sponsor Socialists so their “three thousand children” won’t starve to death because of their dumbass sperm and egg donors’ politics.

[Biblebelter]

Being smart means little to those who vote Democrat.

Stupid actually checks the first box for Democrats.

[arthurus]

As with Senator Occasional Cortex

[bigdaddy45]

He’s going to win. You can see it a mile away. All of the billionaires are lined up against him. He’s getting a ton of press. The Democrats are starting to bad mouth him. You think his voters care what the Democrat party thinks? They view themselves as the new radicals. Its a done deal.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Of the many labels I could attach to the guy, stupid is not one of them. I think he’s remarkably articulate and his positions are well thought out, apart from ignoring their having failed every time they have been tried.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The dumb turd claims that he’s and American born in Africa. Most far-left college diploma recipients refer to all Africans in Africa as “African Americans”. That’s friggin’ weird. A far-left College broad once made that comment to Rush Limbaugh.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Obama redux. Obama was a charming ignoramus, and did a lot of harm. Mamdani can win based on personality.

[laplata]

That’s right. Never, never underestimate the enemy.

[stanne]

Ya. Same as Joe Biden. They think a puppet like this gets in and does his own thing

[going hot]

All 7 per cent of them.

this guy wins if the other 93% don't get their asses down to the booth to cast their votes, 'cause it is NY, and they could not care less.

Sucks to be them.

[Alberta's Child]

The dude applied to Columbia as a black-Asian "person of color," and his father was on the faculty of the school ... and he still wasn't accepted for admission.

He ended up pursuing a degree in African studies at a small private school in Maine that would probably admit anyone willing to pay their own way.

Frankly, this tells me that the guy is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

[Jim Noble]

If he is elected, it will not be because of Islam and it will not be because of communism.

It will be because of precarity.

[Cobra64]

“Dangerous and stupid.” Yup, if you are a Democrat, you are dangerous and stupid. They burn down cities and lack critical thinking skills.

[enumerated]

Yeah he’s a dumb-ass.

He is alienating law enforcement, local business owners, Christians, Jews, who am I forgetting?

Anyway, I think he will find that pandering to illegals, Muslims, LGBTQ and other radical leftists is a recipe for failure. They may be loud and proud, but they aren’t nearly as numerous as they appear.

There are lots of Democrats who talk like a leftist but know which side their bread is buttered on. Replacing cops with social workers is batshit crazy. State run grocery stores is batshit crazy.

Even Democrats have limits to how much bs they will accept, believe it or not.
