Well written, and I pray people listen!. Islamic teaching is totally against anything that the US represents. We mistakenly let these people into our political and social system. New York is a cesspool already, and this will finish them off. Add to that his socialistic view of Islam, AND the radical clergy that he embraces, and it gets worse. Cuomo, along with Newsome, is an example of the re-cycling of these crazies; when the Democratic party cannot find anyone to run on their platforms. I moved from California to the Midwest 4 years ago, during the Covid lockdowns. I urge all sane people to fight these phony and evil elections; and have a plan to go before this corrupts their children and their values

Why is it controversial to have a critical view of this candidate? Being critical of one candidate doesn’t mean one isn’t critical of the others, but this article was about one particular candidate. Having a critical view toward those who seek power over others is a smart thing. (Btw, I’m not a fan of Cuomo or Ackman - the opposite.) As Doug C says, politicians are the kind who want to control others. Maybe Mamdani is the rare exception, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

When the President ignores the reality of a bankrupt welfare/warfare state focusing on distractions like sending Carrier groups after drug runners, the political culture is such that the urban Eloi, entrenched in end-state democracy (see Alexander Tytler's thesis), also ignore reality and continue voting for free stuff unconcerned with how it will all end. It's another example of Democrat entrenched cities in fatal decline. It's also no coincidence that in such an environment that Islam is in ascendence.

Spot on Doug. Mandani is a typical socialist dictator - making promises that sounds good but end in oppression. And I agree that voting in a leftist to fix the problems of the previous leftist is a bad idea. All money and talent is leaving NYC so the poor who voted for Mandani the JIHADIST will experience his true wrath.

Typical right wing white supremisct zionist bullshit. What was the alternative? Cuomo and Ackman? DONT THINK SO. The people you clowns would have preferred are complete donkeys. What does that say about you?

Doug, I have always considered you as pragmatic and analytical. While you have mentioned the positive attributes of Mamdani you have constantly adopted them with negatives related to imaginary future actions by him that do not exist. If he does not succeed in his job as mayor there is going to be no future for him in politics in the US so if you're that fearful of him and what he stands for, give him a chance and let him fail.

Well he will certainly fail as socialism doesn’t work. But like any skilled politician he’ll blame others for his mistakes and take credit for anything that goes right.

One thing I’ve learnt in life is there is no certainty especially as far as people are concerned.

Great then that a 34 yr old New Yorker was given a chance at doing it right. As Clinton used to say, you win elections from the left or right but govern from the Centre.

In the case of that Communist candidate Mamdani: It's not what he says, it's how he says it. And that's what is confusing so many voters.

An innocent sleeping woman was set on fire and died on the subway last year. You’d think this would be the height of the insanity, but it looks like people already forgot about it. Looks like NYC was sold out.

Doug- Very eloquent representation of a highly probable scenario of the near future. An antidote which I provide is

“Be Like Shohei”

Wealthy Bollywood producer with ties to Qatar - geez. Google up Mira Nair and learn who she is. As for someone I know who accepted an airplane from Qatar as a gift...

Just for your information, Mamdani's mother before marrying Mahmood Mamdani was earlier married to Mitch Epstein
