Zohran Mamdani Inches Closer to Snatching Democrat Nomination for NYC Mayor
If Mamdani becomes mayor then New York City deserves its destruction.
Socialist Zohran Mamdani has jumped ahead of Andrew Cuomo in the latest poll for New York City’s Democratic nominee for mayor.
From The New York Post:
In its hypothetical initial round of voting, Cuomo’s lead shrinks to 3 percentage points, with 35% of likely Democratic voters supporting him compared to 32% for Mamdani and 13% for city Comptroller Brad Lander, the Emerson College Polling/Pix 11/The Hill survey found.
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams follows with 8%, Scott Stringer 3% and 5% split between candidates Zellnor Myrie, Whitney Tilson, Jessica Ramos and Michael Blake, with another 4% undecided.
But since no one garners the more than 50% of the vote needed to win outright, the ranked choice system kicks in. That means that even if a voter’s first choice is eliminated in successive rounds of calculations, their other picks could still be in the mix and emerge as the eventual overall winner.
Mamdani finally surpasses Cuomo in the eighth round of the simulated ranked choice voting — 51.8% to 48.2% — in the latest poll conducted June 18-20.
You mean to tell me that New York City cannot find anyone better than these losers?
Sheesh.
If Mamdani becomes mayor, then New York City deserves its destruction.
Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. His plans are far-left, which would leave any place bankrupt and broken:
He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, with a list of campaign promises that revisits nearly every discredited left-wing fantasy of the past decade: universal health care, rent freezes, the use of “social workers” as opposed to policing to control urban violence, etc. His most prominent campaign initiative is a promise to eliminate city bus fares, a fantasy which would, if implemented, blow a hole in the MTA’s budget and inevitably lead to service reductions. He has also advocated the eventual implementation of a $30 minimum wage.
What a shock that Mamdani hates Israel, saying the country does not have a right to exist.
The socialist co-founded Bowdoin’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter. He supports the BDS movement. He also won’t condemn the genocidal slogans we hear shouted in the streets and at campuses.

Is he a Soros stooge?
NY voters have a choice between a mega-socialist and a mega-socialist creep. Can the bar get any lower?
It really is “pick your poison,” with these two reprobates on the ballot.
That said, if I were an NYC voter, there is no way in hell I’d ever vote for a neo-communist Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist.
Cuomo is greasy scum, but, he wins this contest by a micron, by not declaring his allegiance to the two most evil ideologies on planet Earth.
Democrat creep Andrew “I killed your Nana” Cuomo and Socialist-Progressive-TwelverMuslim Zohran “I will kill your economy” Mamdani. Actually let NYC try the latter and get it gooder and harder.
To answer that question, let’s go to our bar expert, AOC.
Stupid is as stupid does.
If New York is so unbelievably stupid to elect this clown, they deserve exactly what they get.
I expect that Mamdani will get additional support from Leftists who are upset at the possibility that Trump’s foreign policy may have worked. Perhaps enough to put him over the top. Which leaves us with the problem of what to do if Mamdani’s policies in NYC bring the place down.
You can bet that at the first sign of the failure of any of his policies, the rest of the country will be blamed for NYC’s problems. And they will demand to be bailed out without changing any of those policies. I respectfully submit that the best response would be pithy phrases not normally allowed here, followed by insisting that they themselves are solely responsible for the results of the policies they themselves voted in.
They will have bought it, they will own it.

Snake Plissken has entered the chat.
Numerous major businesses have said that they will leave NYC if he is elected. Indeed, I will not be surprised if one or more of the stock exchanges announce they are relocating to Dallas or Florida, which would be a massive blow to the NYC economy and tax base.
And if you think the exodus of high net worth NYC residents during COVID was epic, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
PTSE. p=Plano. T=texas
Looking forward to the headline
TRUMP TO CITY: DROP DEAD
This guy represents every Columbia student protestor in a nut shell; he’s the tic toc politician for dumb elitist white people, which is mostly what left in NYC. I mean who else can afford to stay there? Likely any sensible business person will run for Texas and Florida if he wins.
So now the most Jewish city in USA is going to have a complete antisemetic nut root running it. Because hey Jew hate is a winning campaign strategy. Just ask the squad.
If Mamdani wins the primary, watch for major support to swing to Adams in the general.
💯
I hope you are right !
I agree as bad as Adams is. I think there are still enough people who have not moved out of NYC that remember what a disaster DeBlasio was
Is Adams going to be on the Republican line or will it be Silwa?
🙏
I don’t understand what sort of “simulation” they’re running. It’s a poll. If they want to know how many voters will rank Mamdani ahead of Cuomo and how many will rank him behind Cuomo, why not just ask that question? That’s how it’s done in any other place where this is the system (e.g. Ireland and Australia). First you ask, if the election were held today which candidate would you put first. If the answer is not “Mamdani” or “Cuomo”, you ask a follow-up question, of Mamdani and Cuomo, which would you put ahead of the other.
The pathetic Republican Party of New York State seems to give up in nearly every significant election.
Is there a Republican candidate for NYC mayor, or will there be a nobody, making a half-hearted effort (from the standpoint of Party support) running as we have seen during the elections for Senator?
The Republicans are not in this fight. The general election is not ranked choice, so the Republicans need to make a decision whether to run a candidate and possibly put the Democrat in, or instead throw their support behind Adams. If Mamdani wins the primary, I suspect there’ll be pressure on the GOP not to run a candidate.
I think Republicans should throw their weight behind Zohan. Let him destroy NYC and we will finally get someone on the right in there to clean it up like Rudi
Yeah. That’s acceptance of bunch of short term pain for potential long term gain. Demonstrate to the d/prog in NYC that if they keep allowing extremists to run without vigorous condemnation that they just might be stuck with the extremist running the show. As it is the GoP voters have been maneuvered into a version of a prisoner’s dilemma. They can support the most reasonable d/prog directly, support him indirectly by casting a vote for the almost certain to lose GoP candidate or vote for the extremist candidate in the general. By choosing option three and opting to force the d/prog voters to deal head on with the consequences of allowing these nut jobs to be considered without effective push back it becomes possible that some d/prog will realize their errors and become more accommodating to potential GoP candidates and GoP policies. If not then it simply hastens the inevitable decline.
That is precisely why ranked choice is the only fair system, and should be adopted for all elections. If it were the system used for the general election then Republicans wouldn’t have that dilemma. They could run their campaign, Adams could run his, and both could say “No matter whom you put first, put Mamdani last”.
And then the people’s will could be expressed. If a solid majority prefer Mamdani to either Sliwa or Adams, then he deserves to win, so he would. If a majority would rather have anyone else than him, then he deserves to lose and someone else would win. No one would have to worry about strategic voting, and giving up the best to avoid the worst.
Can we learn from history, as in: how well did that strategy work in LA and SF?
Isn’t Curtis Sliwa the Republican nominee?
Yes, but the GOP could abandon him and throw its weight behind Adams. It could even persuade him to withdraw from the race. That’s something it and he will have to decide, if Mamdani does win the Dem primary. Which may not happen.
I think the NY GOP will sit it out and let Dems do it to themselves
New York is a city that the state should separate from, create a new state which is only the city. Then cut all federal money and watch the implode
And why would the state legislature, controlled as it is by the Democrats, want to do that?
Fortunately not from Nueva York so asking sincerely, what don’t they/you like about silwa?
It’s not that there’s anything bad about Sliwa, it’s that in NYC if you choose to run as a Republican, you may as well choose to run as a Libertarian, you’ll do about as well.
In a normal state he’d be a Democrat.
Brandon Johnson by any other name.
Or Sadiq Khan, take your pick.
Brandon Khan
or maybe
Sadiq Johnson
A complete and total scumbag either way.
This. New York is clearly following the London Model.
Has Adams said he would created City owned grocery stores. Mamdani has said so. He claims it will put grocery stores where there aren’t any but it will actually make there be no grocery stores anywhere.
There will be grocery stores, comrade. Just no groceries.
That bring the Zen question: Is a grocery store with no groceries still a grocery store?
An even bigger question is when the sanctuary city has its stores looted by illegals and BLM what will they do? That clown is a socialist but how strong is his belief?
Yes, because it will be inspected daily by city grocery store inspectors.
The first step to saving the grocery stores is to kill them. The second step is to expropriate the grocery stores that you killed, and then to stock them with nothing people want to buy.
NEVER underestimate the staggering amount of death, pain and misery some voters will inflict upon the country so they can virtue-signal at the ballot box and “feel good about themselves”.
Question: if the muslim socialist is elected, how many business space leases will not be renewed?
Bigger question: it he is elected, which stock exchange leaves first?
I thought that at least one of the exchanges have that in the works already. Something about it becoming the Dallas stock exchange or something like that.
NASDAQ opened a Dallas regional HQ a few years ago, which was generally seen as a warning to NYC that they were prepared to leave the city entirely if the NY pols carried through on their goofy ideas like a tax on each stock transaction.
But given that virtually everything on NASDAQ is already done electronically, I suspect they could move the rest of their operations from NYC to Texas pretty quickly.
Similarly, NYSE relocated its Chicago exchange to Dallas earlier this year. It would be a heavier lift for it to relocate given the NYSE’s >250 year history on Wall Street, but again the move to Dallas was a warning shot that it also would not become NYC’s milk cow.
The warnings have been given, but clowns like Mamdani and AOC likely won’t heed them. And if one or both of the exchanges leave NYC, watch NYC commercial real estate prices crater in a hurry, with all the knock-on effects that would bring.
I was involved in a national computerized stock exchange relocation overseas 30 years ago. Zero real complications. The networking infrastructure that was the greatest challenge is routinely available in retirement communities today.
I see on IMDB that there is a new TV series in production named “Balls Street.” Perhaps art is anticipating life.
Gonna be interesting in NYC.
The candidates in this election are all terrible. The price of real estate in Florida is going up again.
We should be clear, here. He’s not “snatching” anything. If he wins the primary it’s because he’ll have convinced enough Dem voters and worked the “ranked choice” multiple guess ballot system. The madness in NYC is amazing. The fact that there’s enough self hating Jews to form a “Jews for Zohran” committee is stunning.
Good luck, NYC. But at least the government run grocery stores might put a dent into the obesity problem.
Ranked choice gave us Murkowski. That should be enough warning but the left loves it as it lets their wackos have a chance
On the contrary, everyone should love it because it lets people vote as they truly wish, and doesn’t force people to vote for the second-worst candidate just to avoid getting the worst.
It does not give the left any advantage. It gives the voters an advantage. Murkowski won because a solid majority of voters preferred her to any of the alternatives. In this race, if it were used for the general election it would allow normal people to vote as they truly believe without worrying that their vote would help Mamdani.
It actually allow a splintered vote to displace a clear winner.
Saw that here in Alaska.
No, it does not. What we saw in Alaska was the voters having their say.
There was no “clear winner” before the preferences were distributed. No one had a majority. And the preferences made it clear that the majority of voters preferred Peltola to Palin. Why they did so is irrelevant; that is the result they wanted, and therefore it was the only right and just result.
Had a majority preferred Palin to Peltola, the preferences would have produced a win for Palin, and you would have been cheering the system.
rcv……IT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE ONE PERSON, ONE, THATS ONE, VOTE person per candidate
THEY MIGHT DESERVE IT BUT AMERICA DOESNT
AND IT BECOMES AMERICAS PROBLEM(S) when these cities go socialist
more money more resources have to go to bail them out
violence is higher in socialist run entities and the cover-ups easier in the same
WHY? B/C socialism is based on corruption …not merit…not capitalism
That is absolute bullshit. You have no idea what you’re talking about. It is the only system that doesn’t violate one person one vote, because all other systems rob people who support minor candidates of any meaningful vote at all, and they allow people to be elected even when a majority would rather have anyone else.
