#1 Mamdani's policy proposals include rent freezes, free buses, and city-run grocery stores, all funded by $10 billion in new taxes on corporations and the wealthy

In short, New Yorkers are a bunch of retards.

#2 The Democrats among them, anyway. The current mayor is running as an independent, and someone is running for the Republicans, but I can’t recall who. No doubt those who pay attention to politics will be able to tell us — but there’s plenty of time, as the general election will be held as usual in November.

#5 I can't help wondering how many NY Jews will vote for Zohran?

There used to be, either Yankees or Damn Yankees.

Now there are, Socialist Damn Yankees.

So, given the growing collection and locations of these Liberal DNC run manure pile Metros. Are they tuning up for a mass rebellion for the 2027-28 pre-election season?

#9 Is it because Mamdani is that popular or because Cuomo is so despised?

NY Post stated that Mamdani's campaign worked very hard and was very active. In contrast they made sound like Cuomo took the nomination for granted.

And the Republican candidate is Curtis Sliwa of Guardian Angels fame.

#11 NYC's situation is best described as
"An embarrassment of bitches"

#12 Mamdani and his ilk are the future of the Democratic party. This is a national trend, not just an NYC blip.

#13 #2 I know one family member that will. It's great too because she insists she's a Republican - just never gets around to voting like one. The cognitive disconnect is total.

#15 Yes, two corners of the same mouth bringing bad tidings.

So we get the live action Escape from New York.

#17 someone is running for the Republicans, but I can’t recall who

Don't feel bad. Nobody can.

#18 Curtis Sliwa will be the R candidate.

current mayor Adams will be on the ballot as an independent

there will be some others, possibly even Cuomo running either as independents or on minor party tickets

with Adams and Sliwa splitting the 'nearly rational' vote Mamdani could easily win

#19 NYC, like Paris and London, is a spoil of war for the globalists.

Does not smell like winning. Smells like curry.

Any that hung around after what they did to Trump deserve whatever they get.

#21 I think the people who said that the way they went after Trump was a way to set precedent going after anyone are going to be found horribly correct.

#22 In short, New Yorkers are a bunch of retards.

Of the about a third of registered Democrats who bothered to vote in the primary, yes.
