    “The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York," the post read.

    Right, so now Republicans love New York? Feckless twats.

    Has anyone else witnessed that while the racists get louder, more people are fed up with their shit?

    If the Nazis are losing their minds over a progressive non-white mayoral candidate like this, I get the feeling they are becoming aware they are outnumbered.

      Really? Because all I’ve seen is every institution that was supposed to stand up to racism rolling over and playing dead at the first sign of pressure. Businesses, government entities, the press, colleges. Even Harvard has ultimately decided to bend the knee.

        I’m not talking institutions, I’m talking individuals. Remember, institutions are run by the elite. The elite of course are interested in maintaining power only.

        It’s everyone else that I’m seeing it from.

        No of those institutions are supposed to do anything about racism.

        Schools school.

        Legislatures legislate.

        Everything else is opinion and I got one don’t think for profit businesses have not should have an opinion on fucking anything.

    New Yorker here.

    It’s going to be an interesting race.

    His best chance to win is if the Right goes all out in making it a fight between him and MAGA. Trump lost his home town by 80% plus of the vote

      Is there some other strategy the right has?

        Of course there are plenty of ‘moderate bipartisan’ GOPs who give lip service to centrist positions. Then they vote right down the Party line.

    The more push back he gets, the more I like him. (Each of these articles highlights more of his views and vision).

    Ahh, you know the old all-American saying: “If you can’t beat ‘em, deport ‘em.”
