Mamdani's Numbnut Voters: Lenin purportedly said that it only took “four years” to plant the seed that would never be uprooted
American Thinker ^ | 11/21/2025 | James Zumwalt

“Numbnut” is derogatory American slang, sometimes used for humor, to mean a “slow-witted, unresponsive, or inept person.” But no humor exists in the fact New York City (NYC) voters, always on the edge of numbnut-osity, went over it by electing socialist/communist Zohran Mamdani mayor.

A majority (50.4%) of NYC voters demonstrated unbelievable incomprehension, as would be expected from slow-witted, inept and—by choosing to ignore numerous red flags about Mamdani—unresponsive constituents. As the proverb goes, they will now have to “reap what you sow.”

Mamdani’s campaign was a blank check of promises providing all sorts of things. These included free bus fare, government-run grocery stores (already a $29 million failure in Kansas), free high quality child care, freezing rents, maintaining abortion rights, opposing President Donald Trump, increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030, etc. Prior to the election, Trump forewarned a Mamdani victory could well result in the loss of federal funding to NYC wherever it could legally be done.

Thus, Mamdani may well face having to fund a lot more than he anticipated to make good on his blank check promises. It will be interesting to see from where such money comes to do what his campaign claimed it would do to make NYC life more affordable. He made clear some of it will come by way of increased taxes for the wealthy and corporations, which is already leading to an exodus. (A recent Daily Mail poll reported over 760,000 New Yorkers would “definitely” leave the city if Mamdani won while another two million indicated they would seriously consider it.)

Labeled a communist by Republicans, Mamdani denies it, calling himself a democratic socialist.

He has been a longtime member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) which does not claim political party status—undoubtedly for the tax benefits gained as a political non-profit organization.

With over 100 million murdered by Communism you’d think people would have caught on by now. Depressing!

Here is a summary of the demographics of the vote for Zohran Mamdani in the most recent New York City Mayoral election, based on analysis of exit polls and precinct data:

Gender:

Young women (ages 18–29): Mamdani received overwhelming support, with about 84% backing him—making them his strongest demographic.​

All women: Women made up 55% of the NYC electorate, with 50% voting for Mamdani.

Men: Men represented 44% of voters; 50% supported Mamdani, but turnout among men was somewhat lower than women (especially younger women)

Ethnicity/Race:

Black voters: Mamdani won by a large margin, with approximately 61% to 63% of Black voters supporting him, compared to roughly 35% for Cuomo.​

Hispanic voters: Mamdani carried about 57% of Hispanic voters.​

Asian voters: He won a plurality (47–48%) among Asian voters, beating Cuomo by narrow margins.​

White voters: Mamdani’s support among white voters was lower—about 38–44%. Cuomo performed slightly better among mostly white precincts but Mamdani still had strong numbers in some traditionally progressive neighborhoods.​

Education:

Higher education levels: Precinct analysis shows Mamdani did best in districts where a high percentage of voters had some college or a college degree, especially in neighborhoods with more renters, public transit riders, and academic professionals (brownstone Brooklyn, North Brooklyn, Harlem).

Young, college-educated voters: Exit polling and youth turnout studies indicate high support among the college-educated under 30. More than three-quarters of college-educated youth in NYC voted for Mamdani—making education a strong positive correlate for his base.​

Additional Notes:

Mamdani’s coalition was multi-ethnic, youthful, and progressive, with much of his vote coming from younger voters (ages 18–34), outer boroughs, and diverse neighborhoods.

His support was strongest among young, female, college-educated, Black, Latino, and Asian voters, with moderate but significant backing from white, middle-class precincts.

Our education system is totally broken, and we now have tech savvy idiots as citizens. If they want to be drones in a colony, that’s their choice. I can’t live like that, and would rather die.

I think his election may have been a good thing - for those of us outside NYC. They have become the country’s canary in the coal mine.

Well here’s a surprising result:

In the November 2025 New York City mayoral election, the Jewish vote broke strongly against Zohran Mamdani. According to exit polling:

33% of Jewish voters supported Mamdani

63% voted for Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani

Only 3% voted for the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa​

Cuomo’s support was especially strong in neighborhoods with large Orthodox Jewish populations, sometimes nearing 80% of the vote there. Liberal Jewish neighborhoods—like Manhattan’s Upper West Side—gave Mamdani more support, but still below his citywide average. The split reflected deep concerns about Mamdani’s criticism of Israel, which was a major factor in Jewish voting decisions alongside worries about affordability in the city.

ONE THIRD !! ONE THIRD OF JEWS, STILL VOTED FOR MAMDANI DESPITE HIS PUBLIC ANTISEMITIC AND ANTI-ISRAEL, PRO-INTIFADA STANCE.

The Jewish voters make up about 15% of NYC’s electorate, or roughly 315,000 out of 2.1 million total voters.​

In reality, Mamdani got about 33% (104,000 Jewish votes), while Cuomo got 63% (198,000 Jewish votes).

If 90% of Jews voted against Mamdani, he would get only about 31,500 Jewish votes and Cuomo about 283,500 Jewish votes.

This means Cuomo would gain roughly 179,500 more Jewish votes compared to actual results.

Mamdani’s observed margin of victory was about 181,000 votes. If virtually all Jewish voters switched from Mamdani to Cuomo, this would erase nearly all of Mamdani’s actual margin, making the result extremely close or possibly tipping the result to Cuomo.

The Jewish community could have helped to prevent what happened last November, it didn’t happen.

All libs and most non-whites will vote for the promise of free stuff every time. The foreigners vote for the idiot party because they too are idiots and hate America, just not the ability to make money here.

This was the point I was trying to make, and one person here called me anti-semite.

If you LITERALLY vote against your own interest time and again, what do you call that?

Liberal white women are the worst. They have been supporting the wokeness that is tearing the country apart and women are the most affected, yet still they continue to support things against their own good.

What are they going to do when Sharia law is imposed on them. Will they come crying then as they are reduced to second class people. They claim our current society is anti-women. Wait to they really experience the result of their voting.

A distinction without a difference.

Mamdani said he is a socialist it took the dumb voters to plant the seed that would never be uprooted.

Stupidity comes with a very high price that can never be repaid.
