Zohran Mamdani’s ‘tax whites more’ is pure racism

The current mayor, Mayor Adams, has referred to whites with a derogatory name. But this progressive's campaign uses the word "whiteness."

Mamdani is more evidence how the Democratic Party is being taken over by radicals. It's going down hill fast and unless the council can do anything, New York is going to suffer some serious damage.

Well, I guess he still needs to win the election, but with two independents the likelihood of it has gone up.

Would it kill you to post an article about his actual policy proposals instead of an op-ed full of nothing more than braindead speculation?

I actually hope Mamdani wins and he actually is allowed to do what he wants to do. I hope every single one of his policies and proposals are enacted. Then we can see exactly what happens. All the speculations can be played out in real time. Let's find out if all these radical leftist programs really do work or not.

There are other articles out there going over his proposals. Here's one that contains quotations, and a second from the NY Times:

He has waged a longstanding campaign aimed at defunding the New York Police Department, which he claims are designed to “control black, brown and poor New Yorkers.”
He also believes that defunding the police is essential for the cause of “queer liberation” and the law enforcement are complicit in aiding a “violent, right-wing government” in persecuting minorities.

That’s going to make the sharia law accusations harder to sell but I’m sure they’re coming.

There is also a lot of hate targeted against Asians and Jews.
Yeah, I expect a lot of accusations of antisemitism against him, baseless as they will be.

It's a problem within the Democratic Party, Democrats will have to choose their direction.
It’s a gotcha nonsense accusation. The mayor of New York City isn’t involved in foreign policy.

I thought he was. What am I missing? Doesn't current mayor Eric Adams work for Turkey?

This is the same guy that released a rap song in 2017 under the name Mr. Cardamom and sang the lyrics "My love to the Holy Land Five. You better look 'em up."


For those who don’t know, the “Holy Land Five” refers to five leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, who were convicted in 2008 of providing material support to Hamas, as well as tax fraud and money laundering.

I'll take a radical that helps the working class to a radical that balloons the debt while giving billionaires more and taking more feom thr working class.
Why can't we remove all radicals from both sides and find moderate politicians?

Do you think his policies have never been tried anywhere?
