A shock poll suggests that the Marxist-Muslim Zohran Mamdani will be New York City’s next mayor

When people think of American commerce, they think of New York. And when people think of American Jewish culture, they also think of New York, which has the largest Jewish community of any city in the world outside of Israel. But if the polls are correct, New York may soon have a mayor who is an avowed Marxist and an antisemite. (And yes, I equate anti-Zionism directly with antisemitism.)

Tomorrow is voting day in the New York Democrat party mayoral primary. This matters because the greatest likelihood is that whoever wins the Democrat primary will be New York City’s next mayor. The chances of a Republican winning, after all, are slim.

The two main Democrat candidates are Andrew Cuomo, about whom much is known: He was the fairly competent former governor of New York, whom liberty-minded people rightly despise because of his COVID policies, especially sticking COVID-infected patients into elder care facilities, infecting the most vulnerable, and causing thousands of unnecessary deaths. However, this doesn’t mean he gets a pass from the leftists, who were completely on board with his deadly policies. Leftists also despise Cuomo because he was accused of harassing women.

In sum, Cuomo is a morally reprehensible man viewed from either side of the aisle, but he’s also a functional executive.

And then there’s Zohran Mamdani, a Uganda-born, East Asian Indian Muslim, who is an open Marxist. If elected, he promises to implement a full roster of socialist-style policies, some of which are as follows:

Here are Mamdami's proposed policies,,,,

• A full freeze on rents, plus building more public housing (presumably to offset the inevitable diminution in available units)
• “Free” public transportation (a charge on taxpayers)
• Universal public childcare
• A $30 minimum wage by 2030 (which will destroy small businesses and increase reliance on AI and robotics)
• Wealth taxes to fund all his socialist policies (reminding me of the old saying, often attributed to Margaret Thatcher, that “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”)
• City-owned grocery stores (imagine buying your food from the DMV)
• The usual “defund the police in favor of social workers” crime policy (the kind of stuff that caused Democrat cities’ homicide rates to soar)
• $65 million for “gender-affirming care” (don’t get me started)
• Fund illegal aliens and provide them with sanctuary (something that ought to stop all federal funds to NYC)

And to Jews who continue voting for Democrats....

In addition to his hardcore socialist ideas, Mamdani really hates the Jews. At college, he co-founded the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a group that envisions Israel’s overthrow, and he supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which has long sought Israel’s economic destruction. Mamdani has relentlessly campaigned against Israel’s well-being. Significantly, he’s also refused to disavow the phrase “globalize the intifada,” an expression that inherently calls for America’s destruction.

Elections will have consequences.

New Yorkers are politically conformist sheep

NY City's density contributes to the spread and maintenance of the mind-hive.

England already has 8 or 9 Muslim Mayors in their major cities including London and Birmingham.

NYC will follow suit I am afraid...

[woweeitsme]

And yet, the Jews will probably vote for him because he has a “D” behind his name.

New Yorkers, I beseech you ...Wake the Bleep Up , before it’s too late. Once a big city like NY has a Muslim Mayor, I would expect other Dem led cities to imitate that ‘progressive’ move and bend over backwards, so that they too can virtue signal in the same way.

Some of the bigger cities in California, Texas, Florida and Illinois, I would expect a few ‘Me-Too’ candidates to pop up. This is how the Muslim saturation of local governance begins, leading in short order to
Sharia.

Businesses better get out if they can. Don’t take the employees with them. This is bad.

New Yorkistan will be as dead as Londonstan if stupid leftists vote this way.

NYC needs some more hurt. The question is: At what point does NYC become unlivable for middle class and business?

[Wayne07]

Just got back from NYC. In spite of the problems it currently faces, especially the illegal immigrants, it is doing much better today than it was under DeBlasio. It was in a wretched state during and right after Covid. Adams is pretty bad, but at least kind of understands the problems and isn’t making them worse. Mamdani would be a disaster for NYC.

BTW, Jews have declined to only 11% of NYC population. And a huge group are Orthodox, and most vote Trump. If you want to single out a group to blame for NYC, I wouldn’t point at Jews. NYC is now 36% foreign born.

And now a word from Wikipedia regarding the New York City Council:

“ The council serves as a check against the mayor in a mayor-council government model…”

See? The council will prevent Mamdami from carrying out anything radical.

I kid, of course. 45 of the 51 council members are Democrats. Most of them are probably as bad as Mamdami.

Yep. And perhaps also all NYPD officers not close to retirement.
