Just so you guys know, Mamdani only has a Bachelors in Africana studies from Bowdoin. This clown doesn't even any type of minors in like polsci or anything legal holy shit. All he has are an "impressive" 3 years of experience as a housing counselor

He's a theater kid. He tried to hack it as an actor but failed. His parents are rich and that's how he funded this run. and probably his other run too to be a statemen / senator for NY state.

So at this point does Adams have a shot if the Republicans and the Cuomo Dems team up?

Shitlibs are spiteful cunts who want their open borders meme, so I expect no.

Why is New York city major election so important

We have far worse in Canada. Our mayors are straight up homos.

NYC is the biggest city in the country. Population wise.
one of the biggest cities in the world.
The center of finance for the west.

So its pretty important who's mayor.

His mother said he isn't American, he's Ugandan first and Indian second

Amazing

 

[MrJokerRager]

Trump talking about stuff.

His mother said he isn't American, he's Ugandan first and Indian second

Amazing

He is Indian.

Uganda under Idi Amin iirc had a shitload of pajeets booted out of the country as well since the Africans got tired of their bullshit.

Both parents originate from India.

Also a lot of foreign dignitaries visit because of the UN building. If he is rolling out the red carpet for some while threatening to arrest others, he could severely damage foreign relations.

Best case he drops the whole thing threatening Bibi, worst case he actually follows through and he either gets his shit rocked my mossad or he gives up. Either way Bibi gets his way.

NYC is only “important” because it’s the center of the media and they make you care.

Los Angeles is a larger metro area but no one knew who their mayor was until the wildfires.

I assume Cuomo is sobbing

He doesn't even have a degree in anything related to politics, like Law, Economics, History, etc. Fucking African Studies

Capital flight baby, here we come.

Doubt. NYC is more than a city. It’s a status symbol. A penthouse in NYC means YOU FUCKING MADE IT BUD! If you’re rich enough to afford a mansion or multimillion dollar penthouse in NYC, a wealth tax isn’t going to scare you away. Where are you going to go? Pittsburgh? Miami, where you already have a mansion?

Also a lot of foreign dignitaries visit because of the UN building. If he is rolling out the red carpet for some while threatening to arrest others, he could severely damage foreign relations.

He didn’t really say anything controversial unless you’re AIPAC. He said Netanyahu would be arrested. Just like he would if he went to Sweden or Belgium. Same as Putin. The guy has a case in The Hague or wherever the Globohomo war crimes court is based.

 

[Delany's Donkey]

Luckily for him despite them having degrees in those thing the other politicians don't know anything about those subjects either so he'll fit right in.

Lmao! What is this gay ass “Ohmahgawd he doesn’t even have a pol.sci! Trust the experts!” Nonsense?!

And Trump built some buildings and was a TV show host, what’s your point?

The guy spent years in the NY State assembly, which is a far bigger qualifier than any degree. Politics and being a mayor is ultimately about people and deal making.

Look, I don’t necessarily like that some commie Jeet who wants to spend money castrating children, is probably going to be mayor either. But could we shit on the guy without “Bu but he doesn’t even have a law degree!”

Rich people may own a condo there but they treat it like a private hotel, not a primary residence. See Bezos and Trump for examples.

The difference is that being banned from belgium or sweden doesn't really carry any weight and is more symbolic if anything. Him saying this when the UN HQ is in New York and where most of his flights to the US end up in does end up causing problems (mild ones but eh).

People are fucking insane. Name one time a fucking muzzie mayor made ANYTHING better.

New York has fallen.

Cuomo isn't going to get the Dem nomination.

And there is exactly 1 republican left in NYC and its Curtis Sliwa. An eccentric dude that rescues cats. Last I knew the republicans where not even doing a primary because he is running unopposed. No one ran against him during the last election. Interesting guy, fixture of NYC, but has zero chance of ever winning.

Curtis founded the Guardian Angles vigilante group that patrolled the subways in the bad old 1970s and 80s. They where unarmed and trained in hand to hand combat and karate to fight crime. No I'm not making this up.
