    I’m 1 of 5 people on the UES who voted for Mamdani. I would go to a watch party over there, but I feel like I’d be with the wrong crowd lol

  2. I don’t trust these things anymore. You shouldn’t either. This is just another tool the media uses to disenfranchise voters so they won’t turn out as much come time for voting, even if you give the benefit of the doubt that they may mean well and their intentions are pure, it IS a side effect on reporting favorable poll numbers. Human beings will do anything to avoid doing something out of convenience. If it were clutch and the reports said that they were, voters are going to stay home.

    Take it for the interesting “gee whiz” that it is, but don’t take it for gospel. Learn from the Harris nonsense where this entire website was solidifying it as a guaranteed win and she got soundly defeated.

    Go vote.

  3. Watching Democrats like Cuomo fearmonger and whine about Democrats like Mamdani is something to behold.

    I don’t recall the “New Deal” Democrats fearmongering anywhere close to the levels like this when the “New Democrats”/”Third Way” Democrats like Clinton, Gore, and Lieberman pushed them out of the party in the late 80s/early 90s and made the party unquestionably worse, as well as the workers they betrayed.

    Kind of interesting to watch these “New Democrats”, now old in both body and belief, throw a fit when they face irrelevancy from within their own party.

  4. It’s bizarre people are more scared of someone with different ideas than they are a literal sexual predator.

    They seem so worried about a democratic socialist in New York but a totalitarian facsist dictator for president is OK with them i guess.

  6. I hope he wins, and I really hope his policies work. They are completely antithetical to republican (and some democrat) policies. Having them just work would be amazing and spark change in every major city. It would also force change to how the DNC even works.

    What’s the likelihood of figures like this being made up as some sort of ploy to keep people from voting?

    Maybe I sound paranoid, but every time I see an article like this I just imagine some amount of Mamdani voters going, “Oh, well if it’s basically a lock anyway then I’ll save myself some trouble and not vote.”

  8. If there ever is a socialist uprising in the US (which Mamdani getting elected mayor of NYC certainly is not) it will be because the “free market” (read: crony) capitalists have caused so much desperation among the working class that they have no other choice than to revolt.

    Capitalists are choosing to drive people to become anti-capitalist. They’re just too greedy to recognize it.

  9. So crazy to watch the fascist machinations in real time attacking political opponents. Like the Mayor of NY has some kind of superhero power the could supersede the presidency.

  10. I hope he wins and is successful so people don’t think socialism is just soldiers goose stepping through a red square. I don’t think people will ever understand economics to actually debate it nationally unfortunately.

    “Watch out for that guy! He wants government programs that help you! Socialist pig!”

  12. Socialist uprising would quite literally be the best thing that has ever happened in America, ever – in the entire history of the country. It wouldn’t even be close

    It’s a lot of comrade keyboarders.
    The media always voices right wing talking points.
    One thing they can’t lie about is the reality of what is really happening. People see it in their very own lives.
    Some might not care but I believe the majority will.

    States rights.

    New York allowed other states to pick the morons that represent them.

    So even if other states disagree with Mamdani. If New Yorkers want him, they get him.

  15. I really don’t care what the GOP thinks, but the fact that they believe Socialism is somehow WORSE than Fascism/Autocracy/Dictatorship should say enough about their alignment to not trust a damn thing they say.

  16. HEYYYYYYYY_SATAN on

    Mark my words, in classic American fashion, the government is going to sabotage the fuck out of Mamdani’s time as mayor.

  17. Socialist uprising? Are there masked socialist goons disappearing their perceived “enemies”

  18. Late-Arrival-8669 on

    Conservatives love saying the word socialist, like its some knife going into someones back..

  19. Some guy: “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you didn’t starve to death?”

    The entire GOP and most establishment Democrats: “Why is this guy so popular?”

  20. The fear is that he may teach people that it is okay to expect the government to work to make their lives better; not serve the interests of a few.

    I feel like a huge portion of the city sees how much the rich and powerful want Cuomo elected that it makes them want to back Mamdani more 

  22. I hope Cuomo’s maid is already airing out the Westchester estate, because his ass will be speeding back there on November 6th.

  23. Pretty incredible how much I’ve seen a galvanized, and evil movement coalesce to stop Mamdani when no such energy exists for Trump.

    As a moderate conservative, I still get joy in watching the rich squirm over tax increases. I guess you’ll have to wait six more months to get that yacht.

  25. You mean running two right wing corporatist candidates with the backing of the GOP wasn’t enough to sway one of the most left wing cities in the country to the right? You mean having a serial rapist billionaire with the backing of both GOP and DNC major donors and politicians run specifically to subvert the will of the people who already told him he shouldn’t be mayor was an unpopular choice? You mean have a charming, attractive young leftist who’s willing to criticize israel and the DNC establishment and who refuses to back down from solidly left wing positions, who refuses to pander to the right is a popular move that invigorates voters and guarantees Democratic victory?!?!?

    Fuck I can’t wait for the DNC to learn nothing from this and run a Newsom-Cheney ticket in 2028.

  26. The way I look at it is that when every single Republican and even some High level established Dems are fear mongering about you, you are probably doing a good thing for people and not a good thing for the Lobbyist money men.

  27. Look at Twitter sometime, they are getting in the MUD on Mamdani, absolutely batshit memes calling him all kinds of politically charged names and comparing him to violent criminals, just disgusting.
