If abject racism is Republicans' best criticism of Mamdani's policies, then that bodes really well for his platform.
Honestly, what I love the most is the near-universally accepted idea that he's going to win.
Like, he only won the Democratic nomination. All these scum-sucking Republicans just have absolutely zero faith in hacks like Adams, Cuomo or the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and assume Mamdani's mayoral election is a foregone conclusion.
To any moderate who is "concerned" how this will influence the election, two words:
Barack Obama
Hell, they called Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton communists.
No matter who we run, they'll say insane shit. So what they say should never influence who we run
I always read the article in stories like this because I often find the context changes things, but it doesn’t really help here. In an old video from 2023 he was eating rice with his hands, as many civilised people from non-western cultures do. It’s like telling someone who’s using chopsticks to go back to China.
