It’s been fun watching the dying news media in recent days swoon over New York Democrat mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani as if he’s a revolutionary who just broke political party dogma. The reality is that he’s yet another version of the same type of Democrat the media have been fawning over since as far back as Barack Obama — a leftist minority who happens to be attractive.
For about the 50 billionth time, a New York Times story this week referred to Mamdani’s “surprise success” in defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the party nomination, and said Mamdani “added fuel to the debate” over whether Democrats have a policy problem or a messaging one. “Did he succeed because of the audacity of his ideas,” the Times said, “or because of the clarity and simplicity of those phrases?”
Or, maybe Mamdani was running for the Democrat nomination against a former governor who resigned after being #MeToo’d, a current Democrat mayor who has politically aligned himself with President Trump, and a smattering of also-rans.
What’s his secret?!
In the days since his now-confirmed victory, people outside of New York might have heard some of his socialist proposals — he wants to “freeze” rent prices and open government-run grocery stores — but most national media attention has been dedicated to superficial questions like, “Did Mamdani show Democrats how to win big elections again?”

Yeah, he’s soooo handsome. I think he will lose.
He’s got great hair.
Mamdani is attractive the way Hitler was attractive in the 1930s!
The media people are anti-American.
The Dems are anti-American.
The Commies like this creep are anti-American.
All it takes is a big smile and you’re a star in politics.
I never saw it but a movie called the Candidate had the handsome Robert Redford about that. Synopsis said the “leftist” “moderates his views for more appeal” and has large media approval and wins.
The food outlets are in NYC to answer the “food desert” insults and do virtual signaling as in other large cities in the US. The supermarket corporations pay to subsidize them-—not the taxpayers as he Commie keeps saying.
Thus, no “savings” by diverting the non-existent tens of millions in tax money to the new Communist food distribution centers he envisions. They will go broke.

Most the media is full on communist anti American.
Just shoot your TV like I did. Less stress.
All it takes for democrats women (and some men) to support a candidate is that he be handsome. And I concede he’s a good looking guy. But what I disagree that’s why Obama won them over. They fell for him because he’s )in their view) WELL SPOKEN. “Handsome” is not a word I’ve frequently heard applied to him
The so-called “news” media and the so-called “entertainment” industry like him BECAUSE he is anti-American.
I was joking he likes like a dweeb.
This party is spiraling the toilet bowl. This guy might chase even more out of the Democrat party. The only people left will be the Islamo/Communists and sprinkle in a few fascists. This party might go the way of the Whigs.
So, he’s a male version of AOC?
He’s a rich white guy, so what minority?
Zohran Mamdani is no revolutionary he’s just another page in Karl Mark agenda list the democrat party is going bold it’s a now or never move to make Socialism and Marxism the law of the land.
Globalists united network doing all they can to help them.
Isn't this that Nazi running for mayor of the Big Craphole?
I would say Momdani is an agent of EU-London globalists being promoted by their propaganda organizations in the USA
He may be anti-American, but no more so than the national leadership of his party.
There is nothing attractive about a foreigner Islamist Marxist Communist Extremist Infiltrator.
