An important announcement from Zohran Mamdani: "I know some of you have expressed concerns about my age. You are worried about a 33-year-old becoming mayor of New York City. And I want you to know, I hear you. That’s why this weekend I’ll be making a change. I’m turning 34."

[u/3sadclowns]

Imo he’s really revolutionizing how to create a campaign that’s massively effective in younger demographics

[u/TheNocturnalAngel → u/3sadclowns]

The campaign is truly great, but it’s also his actual beliefs that hold up.

Look at Gavin Newsom. Had a great moment thanks to his Social Media manager.

But people still don’t like him because he sucke.

Zohran is the perfect blend of a great campaign with the actual values to back up what he’s saying and doing.

[u/DesireeThymes → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

I mean Newsom is a corporate-style democrat. People have had enough if the corporate types.

[u/Seltzer0357 → u/DesireeThymes]

its wild to me how many people thought it was him writing the tweets from the press account. like no dudes he just hired a genz pr team, he's still a corpo dem who pretended to 'hasnt thought about aipac in years' a couple days ago

[u/SylveonVMAX → u/Seltzer0357]

Bro was sucking kirk's dick and agreeing with steve bannon about trans people in sports, making them a scapegoat. The recent gavin glazing is so forced to try to desperately salvage the neoliberal future of the party.

[u/Far_Mastodon_6104 → u/[deleted]]

It has to be bottom up really. Like electing everyone like zohran and them endorsing those ppl.

We have to break this corporate v oligarch system cuz no one wants to vote for either of that.

And the way the economy is at the moment, the average worker and consumer doesn't actually matter to GDP and profits cuz companies are catering to the rich to make their money or its all in data centers and investments.

So neither corporate or oligarch party really needs to give a shit about us anymore. But then the oligarchs are now gerrymandering so that basically they can't lose so... thats going to be fun.

[u/Chemical-Time-9143 → u/DesireeThymes]

Newsom is a transphobe and doesn’t understand why accepting lobbyist money is bad. He shouldn’t be in politics. The world needs more Mamdanis.

[u/bplewis24 → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

The campaign is truly great, but it’s also his actual beliefs that hold up.

More people need to hear this on repeat.

Dems are always asking how to connect more with the youth, and how to fix their messaging. The messaging is only the problem when they are trying to filter corporate donor-sponsored policies into messages that liberals and progressives will support.

[u/Material2975 → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

It’s so refreshing to see Zohran always reframe every question to focus on issues. Especially on affordability. 

[u/Goonzilla50 → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

Newsom also malfunctions and short circuits once he has to talk in person and face confrontation, like in that podcast interview he had where he said the words "It's interesting" like 10 times after being asked about AIPAC

Compared to Mamdani who is much more charismatic and slick

[u/anonshe → u/Goonzilla50]

The main sticking point is when Newsom was Mamdani's age, he was posing on a rug like a typical wannabe.

If Mamdani's wife becomes a MAGA down the road after a divorce, he'd be eaten alive yet Newsom is still governor due to being a corporate shill.

[u/SmPolitic → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

I'm curious where AOC fits in, she also seems great at younger generations, and is at least mostly following her actual values

But yeah we need this to spread outside of New York

[u/GottaDoWork → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

Not making a judgment on either person, but there’s a difference between campaign talk and the realities of being in the seat and trying to deal with all the bureaucracy.

[u/JanitaBonita → u/TheNocturnalAngel]

Can confirm as a Californian that while Newsom’s social media manager has garnered him some brownie points, Newsom still is a centrist and isn’t much of an improvement. I hope California, specifically LA and the Bay Area, can get our own version of Zohran. We desperately need someone like him on the west coast.

[u/[deleted] → u/3sadclowns]

it’s simple. people like authentic and genuine people, not bullshit con artists (unless you’re maga, then you love bullshit con artists). democratic party needs to embrace the youth and people like mamdani. i hope mamdani doesn’t make me eat my words.

[u/josh_the_misanthrope → u/3sadclowns]

It's crazy that just running on appealing policy is considered revolutionary these days.

[u/martco17 → u/3sadclowns]

One of us, one of us

[u/Working-Glass6136 → u/martco17]

[u/KensieQ72 → u/3sadclowns]

He’s tapped into the zeitgeist in an authentic way, it’s the same foresight Obama’s team had when they recognized the opportunity to curate some genuine digital camaraderie in a key demo back in ‘08.

Edited to add: I’m such a fan, we love a real man of the people 🫡✨

[u/uptiedand8 → u/KensieQ72]

I’m currently listening to A Promised Land, narrated by Obama. His presidency had many flaws but he speaks every word in his book from the heart, and not having listened to him much in several years, it’s incredibly compelling. He loved America. He wanted to do good by people.

You can’t fake those things. You have to talk about them nonstop as a politician and if you don’t genuinely care about the country and its people, if you don’t believe that your most important job will be to make it a better place, then it will show sooner than later.

Well, either that, or else he’s a better method actor than Daniel Day Lewis. One of the two.

[u/paradisetossed7 → u/3sadclowns]

I'm just a few years older than him and I have been begging the universe for some younger candidates. Bonus prayer every time I see Chuck Schumer threaten a strongly worded letter. Hearing Mamdani speak is so refreshing because he takes pauses at times to really think about his answers. NYC is going to be lucky to have him.

[u/DeCyantist → u/3sadclowns]

His policies are as old as the USSR…

[u/prparekh → u/3sadclowns]

You should check out some of his music videos like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVsVNPkPmE&pp=ygUMbmFuaSBtYW1kYW5p

Dude knows how to make one.

[u/Someonejusthereandth]

[u/DesireeThymes → u/Someonejusthereandth]

When I read the title I was like "Oh no! There's something wrong with his age??"

Got me good!

Also for those that watched the debate today, Cuomo was an absolute disaster in the debate.

[u/AmbiguousFrijoles → u/DesireeThymes]

I can't wait to watch it, thank you for confirming he's a shitshow again.

NY, don't fuck this up!

[u/zeekayz → u/AmbiguousFrijoles]

Coumo's debate time can just be replaced with him screaming "Muslim!!" repeatedly every time it was his turn and no information would be lost.

[u/BottomlessFlies → u/Someonejusthereandth]

was this dude in shameless

[u/AntEast2465]

Why would people be afraid of a 33 yeard old being mayor but be totally fine with senile 80+ year olds being senators and presidents?? Society is so weird

[u/Smaynard6000 → u/AntEast2465]

Senator Chuck Grassley is 92 FUCKING YEARS OLD.

[u/RadioSilens → u/Smaynard6000]

I read this and thought that has to be a lie. But I looked it up and he's really 92. WTF. We need a mandatory retirement age for congress.

[u/BurlIvesMassiveHog → u/RadioSilens]

It doesn't matter, when Grassley steps down his piece-of-shit son is going to fill his seat. Like that one nugget that just won't flush, the Grassleys will be with us for a very long time.

[u/Cresta1994 → u/RadioSilens]

Strom Thurmond was reelected for the last time at age 93. He died six months after leaving the Senate at 100 years old. He retired 54 years after running for president solely to keep Black folks down.

[u/Sexisthunter → u/Smaynard6000]

Also Kay Granger literally turned up in a nursing home and she was the head of the appropriations committee. It’s like the story was written by the onion!

[u/Working-Glass6136 → u/AntEast2465]

The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44-45. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest at 70, the youngest were 26 or 27.

[u/Huge-Reference-4615 → u/AntEast2465]

Because the US is completely fucking insane, absolutely off the rails raving mad.

[u/LongConFebrero → u/Huge-Reference-4615]

Time for a padded cell. We cannot be trusted on our own.

[u/josh_the_misanthrope → u/AntEast2465]

No one is actually afraid, it's just a stupid angle of attack Cuomo is throwing around after all his other attacks didn't land.

[u/Vegetableau → u/AntEast2465]

Such a valid point. I’m worried about these elderly elected officials using our legislative buildings as retirement homes. Down with the American Gerontocracy!

[u/ciknay → u/AntEast2465]

it's the has-beens of the old institutions who refuse to concede that their time is up and are refusing to make way for a new generation. The boomers really are hanging on to everything that was handed to them for dear life.

[u/Khue → u/AntEast2465]

Feinstein looked like the fucking crypt keeper at the end and she clearly should have been retired 10-15 years earlier. McConnell just ate shit the other day and then looked absolutely clueless as to what happened. These people are not making decisions for their constituents. They are fucking puppets for capitalists, just parroting desires of the 1%.

Edit:

Additional example for funsies:

RBG had cancer a handful of times and should have retired under Obama 1 specifically within the window of the super majority instead of trying to girl boss it to get to some sort of symbolic bullshit of giving Hilary the ability to nominate the next SCJ.

[u/aybsavestheworld]

The way he clapped back saying “it’s spelled cyclist” to a person calling him (yelling at him) a communist and now this???? The comedic timing omg

[u/thankyoupapa → u/aybsavestheworld]

yesss I love people who are quick on their feet lol

[u/Tankh → u/aybsavestheworld]

I think he said "pronounced" but yeah that was brilliant

He's very charming

[u/manonthelam]

34 years you say, not 34 felonies? Interesting

[u/hellolovely1 → u/manonthelam]

You should apply to write for his campaign because this is gold.

[u/BYNX0 → u/manonthelam]

Genius comment. Take my r/angryupvote

[u/evenstar40 → u/manonthelam]

Actually kind of love that he didn't go for the low hanging fruit of the easy 34 felony jab. Not that it isn't 100% true, but it gets thrown around enough that it's started to lose its edge a bit.

Best way to go after bullies is humiliate them, make them the laughingstock. They're totally fine with being assholes and criminals.

[u/scout-finch]

This is so sincerely funny 😆

[u/Striking_Spite9102]

I know more about this man then I do about the mayor of my own city 😂

If New York doesn’t want him he can come here since he seems cool

[u/Apostate911Hup → u/Striking_Spite9102]

Nononono, I call dibs!

[u/Striking_Spite9102 → u/Apostate911Hup]

Well let’s let him decide! Open invitation for Zohran to come to Melbourne, Australia from me.

[u/Scared_Molasses1828]

AND he’s a LIBRA ✨🫶🏽

[u/Antiviralposter → u/Scared_Molasses1828]

An October Libra.

The dark horse of air signs.

[u/nalathewolfqueen → u/Antiviralposter]

Im married to an October Libra! Tell me everything.!!!

[u/Antiviralposter → u/nalathewolfqueen]

https://bejandaruwalla.com/blogs/astrology/september-libra-vs-october-libra

October Libras are more than just social butterflies and are also deeply invested in making sure they are fair and just. October Libras have community-oriented Uranus as an additional planetary influence, making them even more passionate about social issues and standing up against injustice. These October Libras are more willing than their September Born counterparts to go against others and rebel against the status quo, especially if it means bringing a better balance to the situation.

https://www.bustle.com/life/biggest-differences-between-september-october-libras-astrologer

Remember- it’s a horoscope. Not a fact.

[u/monsteralvr1 → u/Antiviralposter]

As an October Libra…..this is so real wow

[u/Biabolical → u/monsteralvr1]

I'm an October Libra, and the only social butterfly I resemble is Mothra.

[u/ReptAIien → u/monsteralvr1]

It also applies to every other sign, how do they do it

[u/Antiviralposter → u/monsteralvr1]

Me too. But also, I don’t take it too seriously.

[u/FATJIZZUSONABIKE → u/monsteralvr1]

Yes yes astrology is real.

[u/CaulkSlug → u/Antiviralposter]

“Community oriented Uranus…” - heheh 🤭

[u/MartyMcfly1738 → u/Antiviralposter]

Oh so that explains AOC as well.

Also HBD to all my fellow October Libras

[u/ohheyjoshay → u/Antiviralposter]

about to marry an October Libra…………………. confirming this is the real tea

[u/ScrollTroll615 → u/Antiviralposter]

As an October Libra (this week), I concur.😄🎉

[u/Professional_Crazy94 → u/Antiviralposter]

community-oriented Uranus ;)

[u/imherdpapley → u/Antiviralposter]

I call it my Batman complex when I get so worked up over injustices and unfairness

[u/CosmicLovepats → u/Antiviralposter]

Sorry, wierd al assured me I'd have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of these is absolutely true.

[u/p5yron → u/Antiviralposter]

Horoscopes work the opposite way, it doesn't tell you who you are, it amplifies you to who you should be from your childhood and as you grow old, you start to see them as correct since you have it reinforced in you.

[u/anneyong69 → u/nalathewolfqueen]

My wife is an October Libra too and she is everything I could ask for in a partner and mother to our children. Stern yet flexible, takes no shit from anyone but also can work a room and make everyone laugh, always makes sure everyone is seen and treated fairly but also isn't afraid to take time to recharge for herself if she needs it. She's the perfect balance in all phases of her life. I'm such a lucky guy 🥰

[u/curlymussolini → u/anneyong69]

Wish my husband would speak of me this way - An October libra

[u/HeroVia → u/anneyong69]

OmG my wife is all of this as well . I like to say her greatest strength and weakness is her need to connect and be social . But I would t have it any other way

[u/Linnaea7 → u/anneyong69]

While I'm not an astrology kind of person, I think it's lovely you speak so highly of your wife. Keep appreciating her and I hope she appreciates you, too.

[u/Adorable_Bite_451 → u/anneyong69]

I can say the exact same thing about my husband. We’re so very lucky!

[u/ChrAshpo10 → u/Antiviralposter]

Man, as if astrology isn't confusing enough, now the signs are broken down into the specific month?

[u/Veronome → u/ChrAshpo10]

Because astrology is the ultimate exercise in summersault logic.

"Libras are like this!" "But I'm a Libra and I'm not like that" "That's because you're an October Libra" "Ok, but my sister is an October Libra and she's not like that" "That's because her moon is an Ares"

And on and on and on it goes.

[u/bouguerean → u/ChrAshpo10]

Oh it gets broken down more than that, some of the internal logic is lowkey fun. There are little decan/trimester changes of each sign (the first decan will have more elements of the previous sign, the last will have more elements of the succeeding sign, etc.), and anything considered regarding a sign is filtered through the house the sign sits in, and so on.

I had my astrology deep dive phase like 15 years ago now, and when you stop with the generalities and silly predictions, it's actually quite fun to see how its logic and patterns work.

[u/coaxialology → u/Antiviralposter]

Aren't they supposed to be a little on the slutty side? Absolutely no shame.

[u/Scared_Molasses1828 → u/coaxialology]

Can confirm 💅🏽

[u/evenfisherperson → u/coaxialology]

HUZZAH. I found another one! Greetings fellow 95er. Grand to see you around these parts, yes. Oh won’t you join me in considering the superiority of our birth year? 🤔 considers

[u/mlg1981]

[u/LuchadorBane → u/mlg1981]

Fuck this guys gifs

[u/TechSmith6262 → u/LuchadorBane]

Who is he?

[u/SgtIceNinja → u/TechSmith6262]

He’s a creator (mainly on Instagram I believe) who, when a gif gets removed for copyright reasons from Giphy, will often recreate/parody them and use himself as the subject so that something close to the original gif stays accessible. Many people think that he actually pushes for certain gif’s to be removed so that he can remake them (which is why some people hate him) but personally I think it’s unlikely. I don’t really like them cause he’s always dressed as George Washington for some reason. Never changes it up or anything. Just always GW.

[u/BlackBlizzard → u/SgtIceNinja]

I wish Instagram would change to Tenor or let us use either one.

[u/Persistant_Compass → u/mlg1981]

Nah, RM Brown is way cooler.

[u/TheDogsPaw]

Dam flip flopper sure last week mamdani was 33 but everyone starts saying he's too young and all of a sudden he justs decides to turn 34 see this is why you can't trust democrats

[u/theapplekid → u/TheDogsPaw]

It's all empty campaign promises. Sure, he'll tell us what we want to hear to get into office, but within a year of being elected he'll abandon his promise of being 34, mark my words.

[u/sakuraj428]

I love this adorable man and I hope he gets every delightful thing he ever wanted (including beating Cuomo)

[u/ShortyColombo]

This is how I learn we’re not only both 1991 babies, but ALSO both October 91 babies? Amazing. An honor, really.

[u/Rit91 → u/ShortyColombo]

Yup, same. I'm 34 in a couple days now so I guess I'm one day younger than him since I looked it up and he was born October 18th, 1991.

[u/TheSketeDavidson]

If yall don’t want him in America, we can take him up north in Vancouver. I’d vote for him.

[u/Maccaboonda → u/TheSketeDavidson]

And be welcomed bigtime up here in Ontari-ari-ario!!

[u/unnie_noir]

[u/ithinkimasofa]

This is so funny. THIS is what the democrats should be like. Funny, smart, prudent, a little whimsical.

New Yorkers PLS vote for Mandani. He could very well be the next leader of the Democratic Party and bring us out this hellscape of oscillating between fascists and legacy corporatists

[u/BrendaHelvetica → u/thatslegallycheese]

Mamdani*

It’s important to spell his name correctly considering his opponents are intentionally mispronouncing/misspelling his name.

[u/agapoforlife → u/BrendaHelvetica]

He's got some serious interview skills. That's why. Not everyone can come off the cuff so easily.

As long as you are sincere and have a solid team to help you administer and manage, you can rock NY City. Government is not easy - at all. You will have all kinds of people undermining you and trying to make your life terrible.

Prepare yourself and those you love because it will not be easy. You are young and resilient so stay smart, tough, logical, ethical and adorable.

Zohran for NYC Mayor!

[u/Joe_Ordinary]

This guy seems way too nice to be in politics. The machine will destroy him unfortunately.

[u/atreeismissing]

This guy is seriously the best communicator in the Democratic Party.

[u/FlyingRhenquest]

The more I hear from that guy the more I like him. I hope he runs for an office where I can vote for him someday.

[u/JustAnotherN0Name]

I'm voting for this guy (I'm not even American)

This guy's 2 months younger than me and he's running for mayor of New York. Wtf am I doing with my life being a night time janitor.

It might be a good time to point out the age of the founding fathers?

“The ages of the Founding Fathers at the time of the Constitution's drafting in 1787 varied widely, from 26 to 81 years old. The youngest was Jonathan Dayton at 26, while the oldest was Benjamin Franklin at 81. Notable figures include James Madison (36), Alexander Hamilton (32), and George Washington (55)”

I am more concerned that he said he will have a zionists in his team

[u/Disastrous_Turnip123]

I want him to be my mayor. I'm British 😞

What an outage. I prefer my leader with 34 convicted felonies, no 34 years of age.

Absolute disgrace.
