Congrats to Mayor Zohran!

[70 Mach 1]

Are they? I work in NYC and I haven’t noticed anyone leaving yet!

Commuting across the hudson and living across the E. River are 2 different lifestyles.

Have you noticed change of demographic in the boros
Have you been to the inner boros like
bay ridge, bensonhurst, Astoria, ridgewood etc in the last 15 years

I grew up there and dont recognize it anymore

How do you think this idiot got elected

Actually i shouldn't call him that hes a pretty bright and articulate Communist.

That's all commies need in order to get elected - a silver tongue.

 

[Floyd Eye]

That's all commies need in order to get elected - a silver tongue.

And a bunch of morons who vote.

He is not a communist whatsoever.

Don't forget voter fraud and no ID required to vote.

 

[Robostyle]

Complete and utter nonsense.

 

[Monkey Man]

No, the facts that he grew up in a communist household (his dad's a Marxist professor) and holds communist beliefs is simply a coincidence.

No, he's a democratic socialist. Big difference. But, I won't argue with myself on this.

 

[Monkey Man]

I know full-well that that's how he paints himself.

He had no choice - that's the only way he had a chance of being elected. Stating that you're a communist gives you zero hope of being elected in any State in the US, at least, so far...

 

[Robostyle]

Why not? At this point, you would be the only person in OT you haven't argued with.

I have not seen Mamdani advocating for single-party control over the political system or the complete centralization of the economy under government control.

 

[Monkey Man]

Correct, because he couldn't right-now; it wouldn't make sense.

You gots ta gain the political capital first in terms of trust and more-importantly, elected bums on seats.

Hahahahahahahahahaha
You haven't seen it, so it doesn't exist?
Stop LARPing as an American

We'll see. Till then, plenty of folks will cry "communist" and he will just go about his work making New York better. Cheers mate

IMHO his remark about "rugged individualism" in his acceptance speech is the most-damning public / official giveaway thus far.

That's not socialism; it's communism and the statement will come back to haunt him IMHO.

As you said, we'll see.

His "housing plan" is like an Ayn Rand book come to life.

I highly doubt it. The statement seems fine and no one who voted for him will be bothered by that. But, I can respectfully agree to disagree with you on that.

To be honest, Zohran learned from Trump that there are certain trigger words and phrases that will make the opposition lose their minds. And dropping them into a speech is a great way to make them look like bedwetting freaks. And then his supporters can say he was "only trolling".

That kind of shit works both ways. We just happen to finally have someone on our side who can play that game.

Easy to say when you are not an American.
You don't have to face the consequences

Of course not.

Everyone else will be 'though.

This right here explains perfectly why you are so willing to believe everything Occupy Democrats tells you to believe. And you don't really care if it's true or not.

You are a fucking loser.
