OPINION –
At a callow 33, proud socialist Zohran Mamdani has cut his teeth as a member of the New York State Assembly, boasting the lowest attendance record at only “50 percent of the Assembly votes” according to the New York Post.
The publication, along with the New York Times, the Atlantic, and a handful of other left-leaning publications, have issued scathing hits on Mamdani’s mayoral candidacy.
“We do not believe that Mr. Mamdani deserves a spot on New Yorkers’ ballots,” the Times editorial board plainly stated, citing his lack of experience and grandiose visions of overhauling the city.
Young Buck Zohran
“Mr. Mamdani would also bring less relevant experience than perhaps any mayor in New York history,” the board expanded. He has never run a government department or private organization of any size. As a state legislator, he has struggled to execute his own agenda.”
Nonetheless, Mamdani maintains his allure among the radical leftists.
Wannabe presidential ticket Bernie Sanders-AOC consider the fellow Marxist one of their own, surprising to exactly no one tracking the “private jets for me, socialism for thee,” supposed anti-oligarchy figureheads.
Mamdani is cut from the same cloth, enjoying the privileges of his self-described “nepo baby” upbringing. Thanks to his father’s position as a Columbia University professor of anthropology, political science, and African Studies, the family has been endowed with subsidized university housing since moving from Uganda to New York City in 1998—“a plush apartment with no rent,” the candidate has stated.
Silver Spoon New Yorker
Apart from being handed a free ride to our nation’s greatest city on a silver platter, Mamdani has enjoyed minimal work experience since graduating from college in 2014.
Whereas most New Yorkers must embrace hustle culture, collecting multiple jobs to make rent (oftentimes a couple thousand dollars just for a room in a shared shanty apartment), the Post’s analysis of Mamdani’s work history shows a measly three years of cumulative work experience between graduation and his election to the Assembly in 2020. This figure comes from adding up a smattering of temporary jobs, including a four-month stint at leftist group MoveOn.
Mamdani has also enjoyed a taste of filmmaking thanks to a role on his Oscar-nominated mother’s movie set and music, per an attempt to launch a career as Ugandan rap artist Mr. Cardamom.
Mamdani’s apparent lust for fame has since shifted to the American political landscape, despite only becoming a US citizen in 2018.
Mr. Hubris
Now, Mamdani sees himself fit to assume power over the largest, most influential US city—perhaps the most powerful in the world—dreaming up a radical, anti-Capitalist future for New Yorkers, complete with rent freezes, city-run grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage, and taxpayer-funded transit and childcare.
His visions are so jarring that even mainstay grocery chain Gristedes has threatened to close down their stores if Mamdani is elected as mayor.
But, hey—at least we’d have Mamdani’s communist-friendly grocery stores. In an interview, Mamdani flippantly commented on the stores: “If they work, they work, and if they don’t work, c’est la vie.”
Mysterious Money
A new candidate with almost zero name recognition to start, Mamdani somehow managed to max out campaign funding limits ahead of his competitors, even frontrunner and former governor, Andrew Cuomo.
His campaign claims that these donations come from the likes of 20,000 average Joe New Yorkers, yet he’s racked up $8.4 million in funding, and data shows that at least 12 percent of these donors are unemployed:
Organic, green candidates (as Mamdani purports to be) often cannot even make it onto the ballot for failing to meet the minimum funding threshold. New Jersey gubernatorial hopeful Jim Fazzone is one of such underfunded grassroots contenders forced to drop out of a race despite meeting signature requirements.
Mamdani’s funding quandry calls to mind ActBlue, the leftist fundraising platform that has been caught using civilians’ names without their consent to funnel funds to chosen candidates from God knows where (likely laundered taxpayer dollars from the numerous grifts uncovered by DOGE).
With their miraculous piles of cash, the Mamdani campaign has been out in full force as the June 24 primary encroaches. Professionally designed posters dress up storefronts in Brooklyn, anti-Cuomo ads clutter television primetime slots (e.g., ABC, MSNBC, Comedy Central, a Knicks playoff game, and Saturday Night Live), and mailers reach residents right at their doorsteps.
According to a mailer received in Brooklyn, Mamdani promises to:
- “Freeze the rent for rent-stabilized tenants and stand up to bad landlords
- Build 200,000 new affordable homes
- Deliver universal, no cost childcare
- Make buses fast and free”
Mamdani’s social media team seemingly works around the clock to push out an endless stream of videos and content meant to promote his multicultural approach and communist ideals, making Mamdani something of a keyboard warrior for the far left of NYC.
Chameleon Colors
An X post from Mamdani could be in any given language, as the account virtue signals across cultures to collect diverse and naïve voters. This strategy aligns with Zohran’s assertion that NYC is a “global” city.
The candidate has even previously admitted to employing a fake accent to reach a South African audience in a live radio interview.
Is Zohran a chip off the ol’ block of his predecessor Democrat predators (the likes of Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and even Jasmine Crockett and AOC) who put on different accents to code-shift across diverse voting blocks? For example, defeated presidential candidate Harris has tried on accents that mimic Black, Hispanic, and even Evangelical voters.
Is Mamdani another mildly talented chameleon, or is he being groomed by the Deep State that systematically props up candidates aligned with their Soros-backed, global communist agenda?
Another smooth-talking African Muslim with grandiose promises, Mamdani is reminiscent of Manchurian candidate Barack Obama, both effortlessly thrust into America’s political scene to a degree that’s impossibly organic.
Upon becoming an overnight household sensation, Mamdani has been a slick editor of his public stances to present more palatably to the general public. For instance, after chanting “globalize the intifada,” a call to uprise against Israel that has resulted in marked violence against Jewish civilians, Mamdani is suddenly asserting himself as a Jewish-friendly candidate.
The candidate even shed crocodile tears for the camera to garner sympathy, asserting that he’s now the victim of Islamophobic hate.
Islamic Communism
According to Mamdani’s campaign, he fancies himself as a candidate who has a little something for every New Yorker, but honest marketing would boil down his offering to communism and Islam.
Although the city is only a few decades past the horrific Islamic terror attack on the Twin Towers that slaughtered almost 3,000 New Yorkers, Mamdani believes NYC should welcome an Islamist who parrots violent rhetoric as their leader.
Is Mr. “Globalize the Intifada” aware that his religion is openly and strategically hellbent on eventual world domination?
Islam’s multi-step process of seizing control of nations begins innocuously, at first merely seeking refuge and peaceful cohabitation. As their population increases, Muslims abroad quietly work to obtain positions of power and influence until they have reached a point of critical mass that allows them to become more brazen with their demands.
Eventually, Muslims can change the laws of the invaded land, become violent against those who do not convert to Islam, and enact Sharia Law, per their belief that the only people who have the right to exist are practicing Muslims. Their religion even teaches that they are allowed to lie about such intentions to more effectively carry out their plans.
If you want to see this process in action, look no further than the UK, a country now prioritizing Islam invaders over native Englishmen, giving child rapists allowances in accordance to their “religion,” and prosecuting those who speak out against it for “hateful” Islamophobia.
Delusions of Grandeur
The only rent that can legally be frozen is already rent-controlled (and the freeze might prompt preemptive raises), the buses he wants to subsidize with city funding are paid for by the state, and the redistribution of New Yorkers’ wealth will only drive out the largest taxpayers needed to fund his schemes.
Some op-eds blatantly assert that Mamdani’s vision would “bankrupt the city.” This is not surprising to anyone who pays attention to the “fruits” of Marxism, the ideology that never fails to produce poverty in practice.
Mamdani believes that he can shake out the pockets of “billionaires” in order to fund his wealth redistribution ideals, failing to consider that his policies might be the final push to drive fed-up high earners out of the already highly taxed city.
Who will subsidize all the free buses, childcare, and grocery stores then?
That being said, Mamdani doesn’t necessarily have a track record of delivery. Though one of his only actions during his nearly 5-year tenure in the New York State Assembly has been to pilot a free bus program, Mamdani ultimately voted against it because the provisions were not as socialist as he envisioned.
Mamdani’s House of Cards
It appears that Mamdani is critically opposed to critical thought in nearly all of his half-baked takes. On top of empty and unrealistic campaign promises, Mamdani fails to practice what he preaches.
While platforming radical leftist visions of “defunding the police,” the candidate evidently does not feel safe enough to go about the city without private security in tow.
Protection for me, violence for thee?
Mamdani also fiercely opposes President Trump’s agenda, promising during a televised debate that he’d be “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.”
On a recent segment with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Mamdani stood up for illegals’ rights, painting ICE as “masked men in unmarked cars pulling up on New Yorkers…terrorizing this city and this country, and frankly attacking the very fabric of what makes so many of us proud to be Americans.”
The polished pundit even recently followed in the footsteps of political stunt artists Senator Alex Padilla and Mayor Ras Barakas, staging a dramatic protest of deportation efforts. Video footage from March 12 shows Mamdani aggressively pushing against federal law enforcement (a felony) to confront Tom Homan at the New York State Capitol.
“Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tom Homan?” he cries.
Leave the American Dream Alone
New York is inherently a capitalist city, as is America a capitalist country. The empty promises of socialism especially lack staying power in a society built on hard work, endurance, and achieving the American Dream.
Under communism, the most ambitious among us are merely vehicles to allow the laziest among us to thrive.
Perhaps this ideology is all Zohran Mamdani has ever known, the man handed a “posh” free apartment in one of the country’s most expensive cities and fed each one of his delusional fever dreams for fame by a silver spoon.
Unfortunately for NYC, many lustful radicals are joining the fight to put a Muslim Marxist in charge of perhaps the world’s most influential city—a sure shot of poison to the heart of the Big Apple.
If New York is to thrive, we cannot elect Zohran Mamdani.
Don’t be a moron—vote NO to Zohran on June 24.
