I had to look up who the other candidates were. The media is making Mamdani a rock star by only talking about him. I think the first time most New Yorkers will see the other two names is when they vote.

“Live Updates: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa set for NYC mayoral debate”

Sliwa needs to drop out.....he has zero chance and new yorkers aren’t smart enough to elect him......at least he took off his hat....so there’s that.

They are gonna elect the commie and they deserve what’s going to happen to ‘em.....stupid should hurt.

It’s not too late NOT to vote for this loser. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a candiddate that was less qualified for this position. He needs to exported.....somewhere.

New York City has become a third-world country. The demographics speak for themselves. Combined with its enormous leftist white population—many of whom are Jewish—what else would anyone expect in terms of whom they elect as mayor?

If Madmani does not know how all these schemes are to be funded - they won’t be. Services will be limited at best, and rationed out accordingly, with “our people” being given preference. Worst case, services are not available at all, and Gaza will look like a fountain of prosperity and calm.

Vote your way into communism, shoot your way out of a command-and-control scheme. No socialist system has ever delivered on its promises. Diversity is a myth, equity can never be achieved, and inclusion remains just an idle codeword for endless scarcity.

“Sliwa needs to drop out....”

Candidates don’t drop out because, massive egos, it will make funding another campaign impossible, they may feel obligated, and there’s always a chance they could win. But if they drop out, there’s zero chance.

In the case of Biden, he would have been kept in the campaign even if they had to sew his skin on someone else. It was all about the money the people behind him would make by keeping him in office.

Not sure what’s driving the NY mayor’s race. Ego? Money? Optimism? Name recognition?

Thank goodness Curtis didn’t talk about his cats this time.

Sliwa is the only one who genuinely has NYCs best interest at heart.

We know the commies’ motivation and cuomo is a criminal out for the grift again.

What I’ve never been able to get my head around is why Jews in new york vote the way they do.....a mystery for the ages, that one.

Cognitive dissonance.

Sliwa needs to drop out.

I don't think it matters at this point. Mamdani is so far ahead in the polling that even if Sliwa dropped out and every one of his voters went to Cuomo, Mamdani still wins.

Mamadani is the man NYC'ers seem to want. Let them get him good and hard and make Mamdani the face of modern Democrats because we all know he's going to be a disaster (for which Trump will somehow be blamed).

Yeah your probably right.

My biggest concern is the damage won’t be limited to nyc....I suspect it’ll have a ripple effect for other states.

At this point he’s going to win. No one really wounded him at the debate. We all know that his program is a dangerous fantasy of “free” stuff that is going to bankrupt the city, but frankly, it doesn’t matter what we think. The voters are going to vote for him. The “winner” is going to be the Connecticut, New Jersey and maybe even the Philadelphia office market. Because businesses are going to move out of any jurisdiction that he can tax.

I think it’s hilarious to hear Cuomo talk about a “healthcare crisis”. We know what his plans are.

The big question is where will the stock exchanges and the bulk of Wall Street move to. Florida or Texas?

EC
