STOP THE CAR!

Ignorant bitches? The political parties...yet again. While I was away and didn't get to see any coverage of the NYC mayoral debate, but then I didn't have too. It's been enough to know that journalist, corporate media and corporate Democrats are calling Zohran Mamdani "radical ". I adore him.

And why are they saying that? Because he campaigned on cheaper groceries, freezing rent-stabilized apartments and free buses, especially in NYC. Nothing of that is radical. The high cost of living was the #1 issue in the 2024 election, so how could Mamdani's answers for that possibly be radical? Rent stabilization across the country should be a propriety, and it helps many that live in cities, and many friends I know who live in NYC and other cities. As far as groceries? He has the right idea as should the rest of the political parties. Shit, I'm about to go on Ozempic, not because of weight loss but to curb my appetite. I paid $15 for a sandwich last week! Not only has NYC not been affordable in decades but neither has any other city. Cuomo's best argument vs Zohran is that he has no executive experience. Well guess what neither did the Dump. While it's true Zohran has no executive experience, look at Cuomo's experience as governor. That brought us Covid deaths in nursing homes due to Cuomo's lying, cutting healthcare, so billionaires could pay lower taxes and setting up anti-corruption board, only to dismantle the board when it questioned his ethics. Piff.

Of course, Mamdani's a muslim, who supports Palestine loudly. Good for him I say. Something many other democrats and progressives refuse to do yet keep "helping" the war criminal of Israel. To some this will automatically make him a radical. He is one of two I've heard take a stand while all the Dem candidates were asked which country they would first visit, and all said Israel. They'd go to an apartheid state while it commits genocide? THAT is radical to me. Not to mention that fact that as mayor of NYC Mamdani has zero jurisdiction over US foreign policy. And don't expect any of the others to "fix" the Israel/Gaza mess, because all the republicans and every sitting Democrat beside Rashida Tlaib has caved to Israel.

Let's also point out that Democrat leadership will refuse to endorse him, especially shame on Hakeem Jefferies whose territory covers much of Zohran's. You'd think he would endorse him. Zohran's popularity and votes in many of the same areas were even higher than that of Jefferies. I think Zohran Mamdani has fresh ideas, and things that makes sense with what he wants to do. He sees what people are needing and hurting for...and that's far from radical to me. Many other politicians better wake up. So far, still, I have not much hope for the next election. But a nice start would be Mamdani winning his seat as mayor.
