In a stunning upset on Tuesday, 33-year-old Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani beat veteran politico and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.
With comparisons to the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), experts have framed the victory as symbolic of where the Democratic party may be headed — away from the older and moderate toward a younger and bolder progressive future.
Mamdani’s win may also indicate strong public support for transgender rights and shows that it is not politically dangerous for Democrats to stand by the trans community. If elected, Mamdani has pledged to spend $57 million on medical centers that provide gender-affirming care and $8 million more to develop new and broader resources. He attended a Trans Day of Visibility rally in March and a trans community town hall in May.
“Queer and trans people across the United States are facing an increasingly hostile political environment,” he wrote on social media after the town hall.
“New York City must be a refuge for LGBTQIA+ people, but private institutions in our own city have already started capitulating to Trumpʼs assault on trans rights,” he added. “Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis confronting working-class people across the city hits the LGBTQIA+ community particularly hard, with higher rates of unemployment and homelessness than the rest of the city.”

Lots of tall buildings in NYC....
More Embezzling taxpayer money
It is possible for whole cities to receive judgement. We better find 10 righteous folks in NYC. Otherwise NYC will face judgement from God Himself.
TOTALITARIAN pledges millions of taxpayers money. Taxation with EVIL representation.
I’m sure the L———Q news would like all that to be true.
I guess the New York queers have never heard of “taqiyya”.

I am looking forward to Trump "Gerry Fording" Madman when he comes begging for federal dollars as he bankrupts the city.
I hear Florida is nice this time of year...and it is a no-state tax state.
That’s millions that Trump can cut from Federal aid flowing to NY State.

How exactly does a political alliance between LGBT-XYZ types and Islamists work and hold together? In Muslim countries with Sharia law, homosexuals (including transsexuals) get their heads chopped off or thrown off buildings, but somehow in the US, they get along just fine under the Democrat activist umbrella.
It's one of those "United Front" things. It holds together long enough to take power, and
then the Muslims impose Shariah.
At least that's how it worked when the Communists and Ayatollahs worked together to
fight the Shah. The Communists thought they would rule, but "United Front" doesn't
work the same way when it's with Ayatollahs not liberals.
