Zohran Mamdani’s New York City is Your American Nightmare
American Thinker ^ | October 14, 2025 | Joseph Ford Cotto

Zohran Mamdani’s rise to prominence in New York City politics is nothing short of a cautionary tale for anyone concerned about the future of America.

An avowed socialist Democrat, Mamdani has harnessed a coalition fueled by decades of mass immigration and a swelling cohort of leftist ideologues who reject the private sector and embrace government control.

Polling consistently demonstrates his advantage. A Sept. 10 Quinnipiac University survey, in a hypothetical three-way mayoral race, showed Mamdani leading with 46% support. Andrew Cuomo, running as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary, got 30%, leaving Republican Curtis Sliwa at 17%.

The New York Times/Siena poll from Sept. 9 mirrored this finding, with Mamdani at 46% in a four-way race, Cuomo at 24%, and Sliwa at 15%. Emerson College’s Sept. 18 survey placed Mamdani at 43%, Cuomo at 28%, and Sliwa at 10%.

These numbers are not mere abstractions. They reflect a coalition galvanized by the erosion of traditional New York City values, driven in part by perilous immigration policies stretching back six decades.

The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act dismantled national-origin quotas, unleashing waves of newcomers from Asia, Latin America, and Africa into the city and altering its cultural fabric.

By the 1980s, census data documented massive demographic shifts, with Caribbean and Latin American immigrants reshaping neighborhoods and straining public resources.

Throughout the 1980s, federal immigration records showed over 854,000 new arrivals in the city, driving non-Hispanic whites below majority status and creating fragmented communities struggling to maintain cohesion.

The demographic transformation accelerated in the 2010s. African immigration doubled in the United States within a decade, profoundly altering New York City’s racial and cultural landscape.

Into this milieu arrived Mamdani, born in Uganda to Indian parents. He immigrated to New York at age seven and became a U.S. citizen only after...

That Mamdani is a socialist is bad enough. He is also a Muslim. So soon we will have a Muslim mayor running a city that was attacked by Muslims on 9/11.

Muslims will see this as a great victory for Islam. And they will be right.

There’s a great talk show host in NYC named Mark Simone who says that there’s evidence of him getting illegal campaign cash and that the Feds are close to having evidence to prove it.

Curtis needs to work a deal with Cuomo and drop out.

He looks to be fading in the polls. From a 20 point lead, to some polls show his lead down to single digits. Ignore the New York Times; those Yentas over there, they love this idiot.
