Zohran Mamdani will be the 111th mayor of New York City, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and making history as the city’s first Muslim mayor and, at 34, its youngest in more than a century.

His victory marks a stunning rise for from little-known state lawmaker to leader of the nation’s biggest city. Mamdani has held a steady lead in the race since he pulled of a shock upset over Cuomo, the former three-term governor, in June’s Democratic primary.

Current mayor Eric Adams, who had campaigned for a second term as an independent, dropped out of the race in September.

I don't think it'll matter too much. He'll get cucked by the governor and the councilmen and he'll spend the next 4 years fighting an uphill battle to get watered-down versions of 2 or 3 of his fantasyland agenda items passed. It's what always happens when socialists get elected in America.

And as for the Islam thing
I don't exactly think he's Allah's bravest warrior
 
I guess we should take advantage of libetard money lol.
It was a race between two evils and it didn't really matter which evil won. If they opposition had found someone (anyone) less completely repulsive than Cuomo, it might not have happened. But given the choice between a Cuomo comeback and anyone, anyone would always have a good chance.

The only mystery is who paid curtis sliwa to stay in and how much he was paid.
Curtis sliwa is basically working with some maga forces and the tough on crime crowd to get funding since Cuomo lost badly i very much see Sliwa trying to make a run for the next mayor. Personally millenials just want someone who is young and not stupid.
 
Why are guys like this even in the race? Who is funding these migrants instead of homegrown talent?

Why, first of all? There are actual Americans who are a better fit

Two this is just going to fuel Trump like “see they funded this migrant they’re replacing you!”

It’s going to end up giving him more power not less

Good luck New York what he’s doing in Chicago is about to come for you
 
Actual good news for Republicans. NJ and VA sucks but having him be mayor might help in the long run if they message well.

Realistically, probably this. Legislating is far more tedious and boring than /pol/ lets on, I doubt anyone will really care about him in a few years.
 
It's a serious moment that someone who had a non-negligible amount of hookie caterwauling about antisemitism won the NYC mayoral race.

All other political points aside this guy was painted as an anti-hookie jihadi and it did nothing to stop him being popular or elected.

That's... a big fumble for team small hat.

He's Indian isn't he? He'll suck the asshole of anyone above him who'll pay him. If he's not actually a guy with convictions he'll be greased right into the machine which, is also a very big fumble. If he gets in and legit just continues as if Cuomo got elected that'll have a serious negative knock-on effect for the Democrat party.

Sliwa just hates Cuomo. It’s a vendetta and it’s personal

I don’t think he cares that much about money

Sliwa is a disappearing kind of New Yorker who holds grudges like it’s their job

He also has like 20 cats or something and probably has toxoplasmosis that’s probably a big part of his brand of crazy
 
New York becoming Detroit was not what I had on my bingo card but okay.
Also lmao all the jews are going to flee.
 
Wasn't De Blasio a commie faggot? I mean, going from a whop faggot to a muslim faggot, who really cares?

There are a lot of anti Zionist Jews right now because one most of the actual holocaust camp survivors have passed by now

Two it’s a progressive cause du jour

Three they know about the Holocaust but not things like pogroms in Baghdad in the 40s

Israel as whiteys colonial project is always a weird take to me many Jews who move there are seeking safety after being harassed in Muslim countries

Like they’re basically actual refugees and they’re usually brown people

Something something golem myth

This is like how in the 2000s I had a temp job at a record label run by Jews (which like: I’m not pro or con that is just who was running it)

Every single assistant under 40 was black there were still some older white British women

Make it a point to hire only blacks in spite of the law: never get in trouble with the law

Act horrified to find out blacks in the music industry (like Kanye) are usually the most antisemitic people in the world

They do it to themselves all the time. They’re suspicious of nice white kids and determined to hold them back. Can’t have them there, make it a point to hire PoC at least at the entry level

They’re afraid of whitey

Meanwhile the Muslims and blacks ands many many of the hispanics straight up want them dead

Like how many times do they have to learn that lesson?

Good luck NYC
 
This could prove extremely detrimental to the democratic party especially in the short term. If contested states see their left leaning population decrease for whichever Mamdami policy appeals to them then electoral college votes and some state level elections could sway further to the right. It's likely you to be Gen Z relocating to an already deep blue state instead of Texas, Florida, etc.
