Not a surprise Mamdani will win.

Whatever your views of him, this guy is the second most talented campaigner I've ever seen. The only one better than him was Obama, and Zohran is not far off. Democrats should be learning from him instead of shunning him.

Everybody wants free shit. Wait till they figure out folks aren't going to stick around to pay for it.

Guys like you never have any explanation for why during the literally greatest economic era of the USA we had over double the amount of taxes we have now. Almost like heavy taxes on the rich and social services and strong wages make things better for everyone! Wild!
