A housing policy document on Mamdani's official website includes a pledge to "shift the tax burden from homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods."
The article says the "official campaign website" says that, but there is no link or even image of it. There should be a link to the housing policy document. Thank you, @ThatRobGuy for providing this!
Great, so why was the "white" part tossed in there in the memo?
That is certainly tone deaf. The only thing I can think of is that if he limited it to "wealthy" he would be accused of antisemitism, like when Omar referred to "the Benjamins".

The other part of this is Democrats have run the state for a very long time.
It's been longer than I remembered (2006) since the governor has been a Republican. I also thought that upstate and western NYS were more MAGA. Nine years is a long time for current times (we're not discussing historical times).

If anyone needs more ammunition against Mamdani, the Mamdani Times has you covered with oodles of probably fake NYT headlines.

Hmmm.. Where have I seen that before.

Things are learned. And repeated. Thanks for making the world a "better" place.
