We don’t need another communist experiment. We already know what happens.

This guy has the look and feel of Obama, and he’s just as toxic. A billionaire isn’t necessarily broadly intelligent, he or she may be hyper efficient in one area. A billionaire like that may be stupid enough to vote for the communist. Heck, Jews will vote for an antisemite who wants them dead.

I expect the fools in New York City will elect him and things will quickly go to heck. The police department will see a surge in early retirements and resignations and the very wealthy will flee the city as will many corporations who maintain headquarters there. His government grocery stores will be a flop from outright theft from the shelves to gross mismanagement. His attempt to take over private property to convert to government housing will get shot down in the courts. His rabid anti semitism will make even the New York liberals cringe. New York will quickly take on the overtones of drab hopeless communist cities like East Berlin and Havana.

"NYC mayoral frontrunner Mamdani: 'I don't think we should have billionaires'"

There are 123 billionaires living in New York City.

Not for long. They're heading to Florida, Tennessee and Texas - and taking their billions with them.

Madman will have to find another source to fund his lefty fantasies, and it won't be the Feds:

"President Trump threatens to cut off federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins, calling him a 'pure communist.'"

That giant sucking sound is Wall Street moving to Dallas. The offices and related equipment is all ready to go.

At least the Gambinos would have left you with most of your billions. All they wanted as protection money.

No matter what, no matter who runs against him, he’s going to win because NYC is the moron capital of the world. I grew up there and escaped in 2013 and when I did it was like that scene in the Wizard of Oz when everything turns to color from black and white “You mean people aren’t a*sholes everywhere? Aunty Em!!”

Look at this thread I posted yesterday, look how effed up these people are.........

“”President Trump threatens to cut off federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins, calling him a ‘pure communist.’””

He can always raise tolls, raise prices to drive to various areas of NYC and increase property taxes. Wait. What?! That’s already been done? “Looks like the relief pitcher Mandahni has been called in to hold off the Corrupted and give the Commies the win.”

Yep. Adios NYC.

09/11/2001 has been forgotten.

The views of an imbecile......a performative politician feeding his ego to make up
for a life of idleness. Mamdani easily won the Dem primary said on NBC’s “MTP:
<><>”I don’t think that we should have billionaires because,
<><>it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately,
<><>what we need more of is equality across our city and state and across our country.”

I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country...

Why? I agree with equality of opportunity but not outcome. Some people simply won't put in the effort to improve their lot in life and I have zero sympathy for such people. The rich (income > $446,000/yr or 10% of taxpayers) pay 72% of total IRS tax collections while the lowest 50% pay less than 3%. I love billionaires as they are the people who invest in the economy, promote economic growth, and create jobs for the rest of us. We vilify the rich and praise the poor. Why? How many of you were hired by a poor person? Bezos is a common target for idiots like Mamdani, but until he feeds, clothes, and shelters 250,000+ souls, he should sit down and STFU.

There is no conflict here. All commie trash vie for one thing and one thing only: Power. He will cut a deal such that the commie trash billionaires (Yes, there are lots of them) will pay to get him into office so long as they get immunity.

CaCaLand’s Guv’na, Newscum, did the same thing when the state sack of sillies passed a $15/hr minimum wage. His friend and donor, the CEO or PaneraBread, got Newscum to issue an waiver for any fast food restaurant that also bakes bread. So, PBread does not have to pay that minimum wage.

Any business is interested in continuing to make money. If they have to pay bribes, say nice things about commie trash, or anything else; they will.

I SUPPORT THAT...

THEY NEED TO SHOW MAMDANI & others THAT THEY CANNOT CONSTANTLY LIE THEIR WAY INTO A POLITICAL POSITION

HE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PERSON.
