This is overtly, unambiguously racist and Islamophobic from the mayor
Mayor Adams slams Mamdani for wanting to decriminalize prostitution: ‘Don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s OK’ trib.al/i0ywN73

Putting aside that the clip is about government agencies, race-neutral tax credits to hire veterans and ex-cons trying to re-enter society are very different than "tax credits for hiring people of color."

From now on, whenever I hear from Jessica Ramos, I will always think of the Zohran canvasser who went up to a woman on the street asking her if she had a few minutes to chat about Zohran Mamdani and that woman responded, “No, I’m Jessica Ramos.”
Congratulations to Zohran on a successful campaign. While the outcome is different from what I had envisioned for New York, I recognize the incredible effort it takes to run such a powerful campaign. I respect the passion and conviction behind it and look forward to seeing how this vision takes shape.

He was not on the Democratic line because over 570,000+ real Democrats chose @ZohranKMamdani to represent our party.
Zohran is endorsed by Kamala Harris. Your candidate is endorsed by Donald Trump, who cut food stamps today.

Trump will try to take over the city no matter what. He endorsed you because he knows you will let him. You're under criminal investigation and Trump knows that he can use that as leverage against you, just like he did against your buddy Eric Adams.

This post has nothing to do with Zohran or the mayoral race. She -- and the campaign she works for -- simply do not support the Democratic Party

First of all, even if that’s true, it’s not like the street is becoming 100% bus lanes. But MOST people do not need to drive in Manhattan. We should convert more lanes to bus lanes.
Second, I have never in my life met a NYer who says “drive down” when referring to a cross street

The fact that scabs aren't a cost-neutral substitute for unionized labor (which is ALWAYS true) elides the main point. Scabs are bad in proportion to the degree to which they mitigate the impact of the strike, which may be a little or a lot. But they're not a POSITIVE thing.

Zohran’s main opponent is a registered Democrat. If it were Zohran vs Sliwa, he would overperform Harris vs Trump
Zohran Mamdani is going to underperform Harris by way more than Jay Jones does and progressives will never stop and ask themselves why. They will just bask in a primary win and pretend that translates to general election politics.

Mamdani has said that he wouldn’t touch yeshiva education as mayor (one issue I very strongly disagree with him about).
The Satmars, who aren’t even Zionists, care a lot more about that than they do about foreign policy
Rabbi calls Mamdani a “friend of the Jewish community.”
Adds: “Congratulations — why do we have to waste a few weeks? — on becoming mayor of New York City. We hope you come back.”
Mamdani: “Absolutely.”
Mamdani was accompanied by Brad Lander and joined by Brooklyn DA Gonzalez

I hope you aren't referring to me. Ramos sold out on whatever principles she had and, for purely transactional reasons, endorsed a man who stymied NYC's response to COVID to settle scores with de Blasio before becoming one of Netanyahu's chief defenders in the United States.

Free bus fare was piloted in NYC and worked great.
The previous mayoral administration repeatedly froze the rent and it worked fine.
Fast-tracking 200,000 fully affordable units will bring rents down.

3) Cuomo got fewer votes in the primary than Zohran
Want to talk about the numbers, let’s do it:
1) @andrewcuomo got 112k more votes in the primary than Sliwa did in a higher turnout general 4 years ago
2) Cuomo got 38k more votes in the primary than Adams did when he won in 2021
A vote 4 Sliwa is a vote for @ZohranKMamdani

I'm focusing on your claim that the kid's argument would be correct if we substitute government funding for tax credits. To confirm, you're saying that if an agency has a POC candidate and a white candidate for the same job, they get more funding if they hire the POC candidate?

Net operating incomes increased at record levels over the past year. Moreover, the decision to construct a new rent-stabilized complex depends on the anticipated NOI over the life of the building and isn't going to be significantly affected by what happens. in 4 years.

This is a lie. The Uncommitted campaign was about the Democratic primary (which Biden won, and which didn't matter anyway when he dropped out). It didn't affect how Harris did in the general election.
Worth reminding people that Zohran Mamdani was part of the 🔸️Leave it blank/ Undecided campaign, 🔸️didn't support Kamala Harris which helped land us with Trump.
(I detest Trump but I'll mention Obama, Biden also launched air strikes & that Iran not getting nukes is good.)

Lander is also very far apart from Warren! Before Zohran burst onto the scene NY politics watchers saw Lander the same way we now see Zohran: as an extremely left winged (and mildly inexperienced) socialist. He was a member of DSA and almost certainly voted for Bernie.
