Buh bye!
Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race, capping his meteoric rise to one of the country's most visible Democratic figures. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/05/world/politics/zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayor/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #zohranmamdani #newyork #democrats #us #andrewcuomo
Buh bye!
New Yorkers heading to the ballot box to choose a new mayor face the options of a youthful socialist, a seasoned ex-governor or a red-beret-wearing radio host. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/05/world/politics/nyc-mayor-socialist-capitalism/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #andrewcuomo #curtissliwa #zohranmamdani #newyork #us

Polls always tighten days before Election Day.
However, #Mamdani could lose to #Cuomo if younger people fail to show up at the polls to vote.
Early voting 🗳️ once again seems to be dominated by people over 50 years.
👉🏾 New poll has #AndrewCuomo closing the gap with #ZohranMamdani in #NYC mayor's race https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/andrew-cuomo-zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayoral-election-poll/

#ZohranMamdani on this month's cover of #InTheseTimes! Here's one of the articles from the August/September issue...
Zohran Mamdani's Win Is the Beginning of the End of the Old Democratic Party
Mamdani’s NYC primary victory shows that the old tricks of the political establishment are dying out—and something new is being born.
by Hamilton Nolan, June 25, 2025
Excerpt: "What, exactly, is the scary socialism of Zohran Mamdani that all of the #billionaires are screaming about from their high towers? #FreeBuses. #LowerRents. #PublicChildcare. Higher minimum wage. #SocialWorkers for homeless people instead of cops. Better grocery stores. Ahh! No! Not… not… all of these common sense ideas that the vast majority of NYC residents would be happy for! Anything but that!
"There is a limit to the political effectiveness of #RichMen who have servants telling regular people that their lives cannot be better. We may have reached that limit. The threat of the rich is that they will flee the city. The flaw in their leverage is that almost nobody likes them anyhow.
"Zohran’s campaign was distinguished by its determination to treat voters as adults. When accused of 'defunding the police,' Mamdani took the time to explain that he wants to create a department of mental health experts and social workers to take work off the NYPD’s plate. When accused of #antisemitism, he took the time to forthrightly distinguish that smear from valid criticism of the massacre in #Gaza. He was, often, more adult than the political press covering him, which is trained to treat dishonest attack lines as sporting challenges rather than as things to be dismissed. The youngest candidate in this race acted with the most maturity. The oldest, #AndrewCuomo, ran with the traditional playbook of treating voters like ignorant children — and failed.
"Old people with old ideas do not stay in power forever. Old lies and old tricks do not work forever. Time moves slowly — excruciatingly slowly, if you are always paying attention — but it does sweep away the old husks and bring new things, eventually. #Socialists want more people to have decent lives. Zohran Mamdani is proof that that message cannot be mischaracterized forever and ever. We will look back on this primary win as the start of something new. If America is going to have one lone opposition party to #fascism, that party does not have to suck. The establishment is too deeply rooted to move. So we will run them over."

Andrew Cuomo take a hint! It's time for generational change.
Andrew Cuomo take a hint! It's time for generational change.
There's deep anxiety among New York's elite that a win by Zohran Mamdani in November's mayoral race would lead to higher taxes and a subsequent exodus of wealthy residents from the five boroughs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/06/26/markets/mamdani-shock-wall-street/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #zohranmamdani #andrewcuomo #newyorkcity #newyork #wallstreet
