This “block party” was a bust.
Scores of Zohran Mamdani fans who braved freezing temperatures to celebrate the new mayor as he was publicly sworn into office Thursday were left disappointed by the bash the socialist pol had promised.
Around 10,000 supporters stood outside City Hall during the event — billed as an “Inauguration for a New Era Block Party” by Mamdani’s staff — crammed into several barricaded pens without access to bathrooms or any food concession stands.
Mamdani supporters watching the mayor speak at the inaugural "block party" at City Hall.
“It’s definitely not a block party,” said Danny Mahabir, 30, an Astoria resident who told The Post he’d been expecting a mix of food and music at the New Year’s Day festivities.
Instead, Mahabir, who wore three layers of clothes to stay warm, said he and others are “just stuck behind the barricades watching it on TV.”

Communists being surprised that there is no food under Communism are just supremely ignorant of Communist history around the world.

That would be a pain wouldn’t it. People go to that effort to be there in person, but then they can’t see anything, and end up watching it on widescreen TV instead of seeing it in person.

He has not yet figured out how to get hold of public funds to pay for his parties. Give him time!

He probably didn’t consider all the logistics. Do Muslims even use bathrooms?

Get used to the starvation and lack of running water, suckers. Also, prepare to go barefooted in the snow despite Mrs. Dear Leader wearing $600 designer boots. You voted for it, now live it.

This phrase caught my eye, “crammed into several barricaded pens without access to bathrooms or any food concession stands.”
Kind of like being herded into camps. Suck it NYC. ENOUGH of you voted for this. Not all of you, just ENOUGH of you!!!
