Douglas Murray: Will NYC fall for the selfie-entitled Zohran Mamdani?
NY Post ^ | July 3, 2025 | Douglas Murray

What do you do if something doesn’t work?

Why, surely you should double down even harder on the things that make it not work.

Right?

That seems to be the attitude of voters who decided that Zohran Mamdani was the candidate for them in the New York City mayoral race.

There are plenty of excuses that can be made for how New York ever had this woeful candidate put before us.

You could point to the failure of the Democratic Party to put up viable and talented candidates.

You might wonder at how Andrew Cuomo honestly thought that there was a way back for him in city politics.

And you might blame the vanity of a man who even now seems unwilling to drop out of the race.

Or you might wonder why the Democratic Party has decided to make the same mistake on the city level that it has made on the national level in putting forward tested but failed candidates instead of successful and talented ones.

But in the end we have to face the fact that the present front-runner for mayor is the most woefully inadequate candidate possible.

Promising the most woefully impossible agenda.

On Mamdani’s qualifications the facts speak for themselves.

Mamdani may be presenting himself as the representative of struggling New Yorkers, but he himself is anything but.

His presentation is convincing and very deceiving as with all Socialists. At least to dummies who know nothing about history or finance.

The foundational problems are the Schools and the Media.

People are uneducated and lack real critical thinking skills. They will believe anything because they are indoctrinated and not educated.

And the media spews lies 24/7 so average people have no access to information that might help them discern the problems that are staring them in the face and which are easily avoided.

Just think, if the dumbocrats can elect this commie rat as mayor of NYC, they could very well put Gavin Newsom (gag) in the white house.
What a Terrible thought for the 4th. of July..! :(

The name tells you he is not American. Does not owe allegiance to our people of the United States.
And he is gaining votes? People who have not thought this thru.
I’m not believing the number of individuals who vote this in on themselves

He’s anything but NYC mayoral material

>> That seems to be the attitude of voters who decided that Zohran Mamdani was the candidate for them in the New York City mayoral race.

Something to remember — only 30% or so of eligible NYC voters voted for this clown.

So, yes, if the lazy retarded boobs in NYC can’t be bothered to get off their butts and exercise their BARE MINIMUM ENTRY LEVEL CIVIC RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY to become informed and vote, the 2% rabid marxist activists motivating the 28% tiktok voters WILL doom them to this jackass idiot as mayor.

And the rest of the stupid lazy city will deserve what they get. Good and hard!

There IS a corollary for US at large. But I don’t think the nation is NYC. We’re getting revived and restored in Jesus’ name and we’re not going there.

Of all the “mysteries” that need to be cleared up, I’d still like to know WHO in the Department of Education decided it was a good idea to hire Bill Ayres. Trump should contract with Hillsdale for a correct curriculum across the board. And then DOE can go away permanently.

Awful people can get elected when the opposition is second-rate or third-rate.

To the Jews who prop up the Democrats - Mamdani will probably open a special “resort” for you in the Poconos, with free one way transportation. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

For the rest of the dhimmis in New York - shut up and prepare to pay your Jizya.

I would really like to see a national curriculum that focused on old-style education. Real Math. Real English. Real history. Civics too. This stuff doesn’t really change much from generation to generation. Establish the curriculum. Establish source material and textbooks. Keep using it all for 50 years. The country would be better off and it wouldn’t cost much.

He’s not going to be elected dictator.

The NY City Council would have to raise taxes and create programs, and the NY state legislature would have to allow NYC politicians to do so.

“Tax the white neighborhoods”

I have called for the replacement of ad valorum taxation by square root of the square footage taxation.

It’s called “Jizya”.
