The New York State News and Politics Thread

Spontaneous protests the other day

Sure, a world without nuance. You go with that. lol

You’re right, I don’t have a nuanced view of Islamophobia.

Bidding war frenzy and soaring prices hit Connecticut homes as NYC buyers flee amid fears of a Mamdani win :runaway:

Someone saved the slime for the very end. The unknown vs the known scumbag who literally sacrificed poor elderly people.

Zohran Mamdani Campaign Under Scrutiny for Accepting Money from Foreign Donors

So, the left’s, or is it yours as well, response to criticism of Mamdani is virtue signaling?

I’m just posting stories to show how the campagin is going. I can’t vote in it and find the idea of Mamdani winning curious but nonthretening to the nation-- possibly devastating to the DNC as if he does win more of these DSA folks will want a DNC and Act Blue teat to nuzzle up against.

and so this, on toxic empathy:

NYC Liberals Are Heartbroken Because Canal Street Is Safe Again

Meanwhile, no one’s asking why a third-world street market is blocking storefronts in a neighborhood where rent’s five grand a month, or why guys who hopped the border are now claiming New York City blocks like franchise territory. The Chinese shop owners getting smothered behind tarp stalls? Not trending.

These anti-ICE protests aren’t about fixing anything. They’re instead about a high New Yorkers chase to feel morally alive: toxic empathy accompanied by self-care. Flipping off ICE so you don’t have to look at what the city’s really become.

And a bit more:
Cuomo: Democratic Party Is In A “Civil War,” The Party’s Strategy Is Just Hoping Trump Makes A Mistake | Video | RealClearPolitics

Yep, and you’re part of the reason it got to this point, dummy.

and this:
Jon Stewart Calls Zohran Mamdani’s Mayoral Run A “Jackie Robinson Moment” | Video | RealClearPolitics

Sure, but that’s not a great sign that all is well. People didn’t have an ah ha moment and accept JR, treating him like the memory we now have of him.

Mamdani’s father’s Hitler-Lincoln claim goes viral amid NYC election | Fox News

“Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln. I’m sure Zohran loves America though. Nice job NYC.”

The clip stems from a 2022 panel discussion hosted by the Asia Society, where Mahmood Mamdani asserted that America was the “genesis of what we call settler-colonialism” around the world, Fox News Digital reported in July.

“With the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American Indians into separate territories,” Mamdani, Columbia’s Herbert Lehman professor of government, said.

“For the Nazis, this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things: One, that genocide is doable. It is possible to do genocide, that’s what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you don’t have to have a common citizenship.”

If this is even halfway true, how evident of the efficacy of Fox News brainwashing.

Not only do they vote against their own interests, they will even (at least say) run away from them!

the Mamdani fear mongering by the NY Post has been relentless

Looks like he’s scaring The Establishment. Good.

Mamdani should send a big Thank You to The Orange man. Trump’s indirect support really helped him

Well that was tough to listen to.

Pathetic yet predictable.
