New Yorkers elected their first socialist mayor Tuesday, handing far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani an historic victory — as he claimed a mandate for his potentially budget-busting progressive agenda and all but declared war on President Trump.
The Associated Press and NY1 called the race for the 34-year-old Mamdani about 40 minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m., inspiring cheers from his supporters at his campaign’s Brooklyn watch party.
“New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change, a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city that we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that,”

Four years of failure under Biden.
In one year, Trump has racked up a list of successes.
Dems sweep the elections.
Whatever.

Yes! The education for NYC's foolish voters begun January 1st!
Popcorn bowl is fully buttered and ready to go!
They're going to get exactly what they voted for and hard. And it'll be Trump's fault of course.

Well this is what you get when you have hell bent liberal media, pretentious schmucks flaunting their wealth, everyday is another record day on Wall Street, endless NY taxes…. and Mamdami voters sitting holding the bag scraping by on minimum wage jobs.

The first thing he says is stupid ... declares war on Trump. Hasn't that already been done in New York? iMadman will be a comprehensive failure, an unfunny joke. He will destroy whatever he can. New York gets to pay for their stupidity. I won't ever go back there.

Democrat Socialists. A Muslim mayor in New York after 911.
Christ said forgive them Lord, they know not what they do.
New Yorkers knew what they were doing, and they did it anyway. They have elected a Muslim, that is unforgivable.

Way to go Democrats! Twenty four years after Islam destroyed the twin towers and murdered thousands of men, women and children, you have elected a Muslim to rule over NYC. Once the financial capitol of the world.

Now the games begin and that includes the continuation of the exiting of money, leaving the remainder to fight over the scrapes. Money is freedom to flee.

Unchecked and ILLEGAL immigration, coupled with un indicted corrupt politicians and election officials brought this to NY. The guy will be governor in a few years if they don’t fix the problems now

Suggestion to President Trump. Don't take Mamdani's bait. He won't cooperate with ICE then tell Tom Homan to refocus those ICE resources to those states and cities that do cooperate. Let NYC wallow in the misery to come. As for the Jews who voted for Mamdani - you people are too stupid to warrant any sympathy from me when he starts going after you.

Yes, #14, now they DO have to govern...but I'm sorry to say it WON'T be fun to watch. Why? Because the MEDIA will spin WHATEVER they do as hugely SUCCESSFUL--- even if it's a complete and total failure. The Pubbies will be relegated to taking on the sycophantic media while the Dems will use their precious time effectively getting out their socialist we-care-about-you-and-they-don't agenda. That's EXACTLY where the Dems want us to be as we head into the midterms.

Here is a rule that ALL republican governors should tell corporations and people that want to leave NY, NJ and VA after this last election. Do not come here. We do not want our state turned into your leftest states (NY, NJ, & VA).

Mandami was elected by mush heads who don’t know or understand what socialism even is. They think it means that they get ‘free stuff’ paid for by other people- they’re not even sure who. The actual plan is to run their lives with government control. This man-child who has never held a real job has been handed a $115 billion budget. I suspect his staff will include a lot of turban wearers who don’t know any more than he does. He’s handing the Republicans a gift.

Is government nothing more than a criminal enterprise? There was an election, but it wasn't for mayor. It was for Boss. Organized crime has bosses. 'Government' will take your wealth, your rights, your freedom, and maybe even your life. Criminals behave in much the same way. People voted for this but look at the choices. There were no good choices. Do you think any of the candidates would have fixed NYC? It's broken beyond repair. That's the way the people running our 'government' want it. How many of these 'candidates' should be in jail? I wonder if the same can be said about our country.

This will be a good lesson for our country. When NYC hits what pilots call the "graveyard spiral" (other pilots know what that means), the excrement will hit the fan. First, an out flow of capital by the wealthier taxpayers moving out along with corporations. A lot of big companies will leave. Technology and the ability for remote work will make it easier for many to not have a large physical presence.
One of my daughters, one of my grandsons and a former employee all work remotely now. Many companies no longer need a big corporate headquarters and the attendant costs will make those locations superfluous.
The employees with the means to move will either leave completely and take other jobs or work remotely. The city will see their tax base crumble and brick and mortar stores will feel a reduction in sales. Crime, already a problem, will increase. That woman being burned to death by an illegal and other violent crime will diminish subway ridership and the Daniel Perrys won't bother to intervene to stop it.
Those able to move or take early retirement will do so. We are getting a preview of the movie, "Escape From New York". It won't be that bad but more like a financial exodus.
There is no reason talk shows like The Five or others have to have a physical presence in the city Technology will allow shows like that to move out and set up shop outside the dystopian inner part of NYC.
This will not happen overnight A decline will start slowly then grow to an avalanche if the voters don't wake up.
Apologies for the long rant but that once great city is going to hit some really greasy skids.

To quote, I think, General Patton, “If you want war, then you shall have war. “
To quote Margaret Thatcher, “Socialism works until you run out of other people’s money “.
PDJT 2.0 should cut off the money going to NYC so they’ll run out of other people’s money faster. “.
The sooner they hit bottom, the faster they’ll recover.

This is not a mandate for change but a continuation of the liberal agenda that has never left solid blue states and minority enclaves. Totally expected. These people will never go away. Ignorance is a powerful political tool wheeled with great effect by liberal democrats and a compliant media propaganda machine. Redistricting already in process including CA will gain Republicans seats in the House. If SOTUS strikes down forced minority districting in the upcoming case which seems likely, Republicans will gain additional seats leading to a significant majority for years to come.

Mamdani didn't just declare war on Trump.
He declared war on:
All people who wish to own property.
All people who want to achieve financial success.
All people who wish Freedom, (not 'free stuff').
All people who do not wish to live under Sharia Law.
All Sane People Everywhere.
I wonder if, upon hearing his victory speech even ONE person who voted for him was introspective enough, thoughtful enough to say to themselves "What HAVE we done!?!?!?"

Yes, NYC stupid elected a Muslim and before his term is over more Muslims will take over the city. Let us see if those who voted for Mamdani remain in NYC or are better off in a year or two.
