Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.

Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.

      To be fair, this is a personal 9/11 for every conservative piss baby who lives in an imaginary world where every paranoid delusion they have about Mamdani is real.

      So in conservative brain damaged logic, Giuliani was a Muslim, Socialist Democrat somehow responsible for 9/11.

      You need better acquaintances.

        This was my comparable train of thought… Giuliana was elected so 9-11 could happen! He is fully responsible no? /s

        That would be because of photos with the Imam Siraj Wahhaj… Who according to conservatives was organizer of the 1993 wtc bombing… but was not indicted or convicted of anything related to it.

      Yet conservatives get mad about Kirk jokes and wonder why they get kicked off platforms.

        You shouldn’t exclude people from your circles for different political views.

        How are you going to reach them and get some sense back into their boggled minds if you distance yourself only?

        Because thats what adults do, they are capable of communicating and being near people with different values and opinions.

          “if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

          The “acquaintance” needs a punch in the fucking face and a goodbye.

            You do realize that having witty quotes doesnt change anything right? It might be rhetorically effective at face value, but there is no value other than hate at display here.

                Not every conservative is a MAGA cultist nor a nazi, it’s ok to have friends and acquaintances with different political views and belief systems from yourself. You’re doing the “everyone I disagree with is a nazi” thing.

                  Not every conservative is a MAGA cultist nor a nazi,

                  Never said they were.

                  it’s ok to have friends and acquaintances with different political views and belief systems from yourself

                  Unless their beliefs say that others are lesser, or wrong, like LGBTQ people shouldn’t exist.

                  You’re doing the “everyone I disagree with is a nazi” thing.

                  Really not though, not sure how you think that is the case

          Demonizing people “not like us” is exactly how we got Trump. Not every conservative is a racist monster, most of them are just confused, or heavily gaslit from years of Fox News style propaganda. I’ve personally got a few of my conservative friends and family to see the problems with Donnie Cheeto and openly rebuke his decision making. “Punching someone in the face” for making a poor choice isn’t going to do shit for us when shit gets real, changing their minds will. Not saying everyone on that side of the fence is clear, and I sure as hell hope people complicit with these horrific ice raids etc get locked the fuck up for a long time. Same with all of trumps lap dogs.
