Wow, I thought Andrew Cuomo was a lock. Will disgraced incumbent Independent Mayor Eric Adams get oligarch support in order to reelect Adams or throw the election to Republican Curtis Sliwa?
Zohran Kwame Mamdani ... was first elected in 2020 after defeating a four-term incumbent and has since been reelected without opposition.
Giant killer, twice.
... If elected in the general election, Mamdani would become the first Muslim mayor, the first South Asian mayor, and the first mayor to be associated with the Democratic Socialists of America since 1993.
... U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor, saying, "Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack." She appeared at a rally for Mamdani, where she voiced her support for his candidacy and criticized his opponent Andrew Cuomo, saying: "Not ranking Cuomo [...] is the right thing to do to turn the page on the future of a Democratic party that does not continue to repeat the mistakes that have landed us here. We can never get past Donald Trump if we continue to elect the same people and make the same decisions that got us here in the first place." On June 13, Mamdani and Brad Lander cross-endorsed each other in the primary. On June 16, Mamdani and Michael Blake cross-endorsed each other. Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Mamdani, saying: "Our nation faces a fundamental choice: Will we continue with a corporate-dominated politics driven by billionaires or will we build a grass-roots movement fueled by everyday people, committed to fighting oligarchy, authoritarianism, and kleptocracy?" He reiterated his support on the platform X, with a post reading, "At this dangerous moment in history, status quo politics isn't good enough. We need new leadership that is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests & fight for the working class."
Kingmakers? We'll see.
... Mamdani supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. He has denounced Israel's actions during the Gaza war, calling them acts of genocide.
Early in 2023, Mamdani introduced a bill called the "Not on our dime!: Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act", which would prohibit registered charities from donating to organizations that support illegal Israeli settlers. On October 13, 2023, he was among several protesters arrested during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York City, part of a series of protests calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. In November 2023, Mamdani joined Cynthia Nixon in a five-day hunger strike outside Washington, D.C. in support of an immediate ceasefire and in opposition to President Biden's support of the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip. In 2024, he held an iftar for a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan.
Ut-oh. However:
Islam ranks as the third-largest religion in New York City, following Christianity and Judaism, with estimates ranging between 600,000 and 1,000,000 observers of Islam, including 10% of the city's public school children. 22.3% of American Muslims live in New York City, with 1.5 million Muslims in the greater New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan Muslim population in the Western Hemisphere—and the most ethnically diverse Muslim population of any city in the world....
Mamdani ... is a Shia Muslim ...
That will be a crazy message to send to Iran if the "Great Satan" elects a Shia to govern its largest city and the financial capital of the world. Would we still be an enemy or a potential ally, instead?
Is there any stopping him?
At least $22M, but your point still stands.
Alex Jones and Roger Stone - sore LOSERS!
