Mumbling Zohran Mamdani serves up word salad instead of straight answers to pressing NYC issues in recent spate of interviews

He’s mumbling Mamdani.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani dodged straightforward questions Monday on pressing issues facing the Big Apple — capping off days of mealy-mouthed politician speak that insiders argued showed the charismatic candidate’s shine is wearing off.

The frontrunner in the mayoral election only had gobbledygook to offer on a range of topics during the public safety forum at Columbia Journalism School, even when simply asked if he supported school safety agents working in the city’s public schools.

“I think it is an indication of this broken status quo that we have many schools where they will have a school safety agent, but they will not have a nurse or a social worker… and I’ve been critical of that approach to our school system,” he droned to moderator Errol Louis.

The forum — hosted by the journalism school and the news outlet Vital City — came after a spate of weekend media interviews in which Mamdani gave similar non-responses.

The substance-free streak shows Mamdani is struggling to transition from the Democratic primary’s upset challenger to the responsibilities of being the top City Hall contender, political observers and consultants said.

“He is about to find out charisma and charm are not answers,” said one longtime political operative.

“Tough choices have to be made and as the young, inexperienced frontrunner – he doesn’t want to make them. It’s understandable, but not necessarily acceptable.”

Maybe he can hide in this basement until the election like Biden did.

He should just say “I’ve only been an American for a few years. Give me a break.”

We just can’t imagine how many New Yorkers are hard-core leftists, maybe 60 percent?

Communism ushers in hunger, starvation and totalitarian rule. Yes, everywhere it’s been installed. And wages? Almost slave labor by American standards.

It’s all a lie.

Are people this stupid? So stupid they won’t look at everyplace communism’s been tried? And see with their own eyes how seductive the lies and how horrifying the results?

Channeling Harris. That is probably a reasonable tactic in NYC. She won NYC with 67.7% of the vote. In A representative government fair election results usually reflect the actual thought processes of the electorate. Harris is an egotistical overhyped dimwit hence her appeal to the majority of New Yorkers. Did I ever mention that I think New Yorkers are stupid?

“This time it’s different”
The Dems are running on ‘affordability’ because of inflation. They should be made to explain their policies and How they will address the issue. It’s all a lie.
Socialism always fails because it cannot address market prices.

Socialism does not, and never shall, make good on the promises they make, because of a basic “flaw” in human nature. In a one-on-one match with a competitor, there is a zero-sum game, that you only get what you can take away from your competition. There is no building of more resources, no accounting of the best use of available resources, and definitely no allocation of those resources based on merit. Eventually, in this zero-sum game, the supply of “other people’s money” runs out, and something called entropy sets in, cannibalizing the system and eating all the seed corn. People are left with fighting over scraps.
