A city of Islamic retards. A fitting end to the big apple. Was always rotten to the core and now the maggots have infested and destroyed all.

This is just what I would expect from a dyed in the wool radical socialist ‘Equality’ above everything else an age old dream which will never materialize. Just hearing him expressing this thought tells me he still has a lot of growing up to do.

New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, I wonder how he would feel about a medical doctor treating him who graduated in the top 10% of their class because of merit vs. someone who graduated in the bottom 5% of their class because of I don’t know, entitlement?

In high school I got slapped unwillingly into the Gifted and Talented program.

For me, it was the best (worst?) way on earth to get “nerd” instantly painted on my back when my greatest desire was to remain invisible.

😑

The one upside was that I could blow off the standard curriculum, which meant less people around me.

50 years later, those I went to school with still throw it in my face.

Not at all surprising. Collectivists like Madmani hate achievement. An always underlying theme of every Ayn Rand work.

Inbred Islamic students can’t use these programs anyway.

What evidence is there that Mamdani has any experience running a complicated city like NYC?
When I look into his eyes I see contempt for the dumb masses he’s fooled into believing he can deliver on his policies. He knows when it fails he can blame the Evil Rich and Republicans for the systemic failure. Where it goes from there is the big question.

Slobdami can make edicts till the cows come home, but he can't raise the IQ of even one tawny youth.

If he cuts all gifted programs since not everyone can be gifted.
Then will he cut all sports, since not everyone excels at sports.
No band, clubs, no class musicals, no one gets to decide which class to choose.
Everyone takes the same class , oh, no special ed classes, no individualized learning programs.
How far will he push the idea that everyone is the same.

Does anyone really have to argue over his policies?
He pretends he is a socialist to the downtrodden failure voters of NYC. He’s really an Islamic Trojan Horse.
Lying to the masses of idiots in NYC. Instead of the law of the jungle in NYC...it will be the law of the Caliphate.Look at the mayors of London, and Dearborn....
