Congratulations to Zohran. Hope he can deliver on the aspirations of New Yorkers.

America gave Donald Trump a bloody nose.

Saad bhai,

Zohran is a genius, solved the affordable housing crisis first day in office.

Excellent if true. How did he do this?

Regards

New York is notoriously difficult to govern. It’s arguably the second hardest political job in the United States . In a city that prides itself on its fast pace of life, how much patience will New Yorkers have whether they have patience at all and now Zohran has to deliver.

America gave Donald Trump a bloody nose.

He gave AIPAC a bloody nose too with the $45million they spent on the campaign.

He spent about 1/4 of what his opponents spent :

Maybe this is the start of the second independence movement for Americans, to throw off the shackles of their AIPAC overlords ?

Perfect, don't let the door hit you on the way out and thanks for making it easier for the struggling folks to have more housing available to them...

Zohran is a genius, solved the affordable housing crisis first day in office.

Very deliberate misinformation - he's a socialist, he's a communist, he's a jihadi etc..
U.S. is literally a semi-socialist country - Depart of Edu, Medicaid, Medipaid, HUD, IRS, DoL etc lmao.

Major flight cancellations hit as airports comply with cuts over shutdown

By late Thursday over 800 flights within and in and out of the U.S. had already been canceled for Friday

According to the current results, Mamdani still would have won the election even if every Curtis Sliwa voter had cast their ballot for Andrew Cuomo.

At the moment, 97.1 percent of the votes are in with Mamdani winning 1,029,196 of the vote share.

Meanwhile, Cuomo is sitting on 849,816 votes and Sliwa has taken home 145,543.
During the election, Mamdani’s critics encouraged Sliwa to drop out in order to turn Cuomo into an anti-Mamdani vote.

However, according to these figures, that still would not have been enough to swing the vote in Cuomo’s direction.

Combining Sliwa and Cuomo’s support would have yielded the former New York governor 995,359 votes.

That would leave with a deficit of 33,837 votes if he wanted to beat Mamdani.

Boy - Cuomo got b*tch slapped hard !!!!

Saar,

What NYC thinks today, whole of USA will think tomorrow. An Indian boy beat JDV's white half-brother to be reelected mayor of Cincinnati.

This is the same country that elected Donald Trump. Little has changed

Only problem is he is a socialist so he will be soft on crime. Things will turn sour very quickly.

Key should be getting rid of illegals and criminals.

I don't understand why big cities need crime infested ghettos, that's not culture or diversity.

Trump was doing a good job with this.

Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer joined Fox News' Mark Levin just days ago, revealing that New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his family have deep financial ties to Qatar's royal family - the very same family that harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.​

The very same family that gifted President Trump a $400 million aircraft a few days ago!?

That extremist Jihadist with his trans agenda. What could be worse than someone with a rack and a beard setting off a glitter bomb in the women's bathroom!

 

[Blueishere]

Has Narendra Uncle, lord protector and congratulator in chief, of all diaspora Indians, congratulated Mr Momdani yet? I do believe Momdani has a gujerati Indian background in fact.

Son of the soil surely?

What is with you people? You have no connection to NYC, you live in England, respectfully just sip your f*cking tea, and enjoy your shitty weather. What do you care what he is.

No.

The zionists may try more dirty tricks. They love fabricating stories about sex with minors and rape (a favourite past time of theirs).

I hope he is prepared....

 

[Meengla]

TBH, I have not been following Mr. Mamdani's campaign. But what the outcome DOES underscore is this: Active politics can make a difference in America. I had tried to tell this many times in the Israel-Gaza war thread that there is indeed an American 'Left' presence, and that is not pro Israel, and that is largely reflected in the Democratic Party but there were too many lazy in this forum who had said that AIPAC is insurmountable; they even lumped the candidate Harris with a self-proclaimed Zionist like Biden. Some of those dummies voted for Ms. 0.4% Jill Stein who was even supported by AIPAC to split the progressive vote!! Sigh!

Things change over time in America and what we have now is that for the first time in American history, a slight majority of overall Democratic voters favor Palestinians over Israel and even in the Republican Party there is considerable loss of support for Israel among the younger voters.

America is a mold, it is a country which is constantly evolving, and evolving faster then any other country in the world. And if one truly believes in a 'cause' then start using your brain for a 'change' and politics is the best way to effect that change.

@hussain0216 @Developereo were among the few in the Gaza-Israel war thread who seemed to understand what I was saying. Many others, especially those living in America, were woefully intellectually lazy.

Finally: Congrats Zohran!

Arguably this is the single most important feature of this man's campaign - AIPAC-free (I.e. actually works for Americans, not foreigners).

I don't take coffee, I take tea my dear. I like my toast done on one side.

You can hear it in my accent when I talk...
