When centrists inevitably say "yeah, but that's new york, he couldn't have won anywhere else," remember that these are the same people who were lobbing Islamophobic attacks at him.

Some of the shit I've seen was honestly disgusting. Especially tying 9/11 to him somehow. Like the racism that's traditionally coming from Republicans was coming from Democrats too.
It's almost like there isn't really a difference between most Republicans and most Democrats...Like some sorta, I dunno, bread and circus show or somethin. Weird
Almost like the US is a one party state 🤔 but in typical American extravagance, they have TWO one-parties.
Dog and pony show?
Up until Reagan, the two Parties were pretty much the same. There were Liberal GOPs and and Conservative Dems. Nixon saw that there were a lot of disaffected Dems who hated the Civil Rights Act and pulled them in with his "Southern Strategy." Reagan was the first to start attacking "Liberals" by name.
Do you have any examples? The racism and attacks against Mamdami ive seen have all been very clearly from right wingers and "independents" that are trump aligned.
I was about to say i stand corrected but I'm reading that article im struggling to find anything Islamophobic in those quotes. Is it because she said he was pro hamas?

Your bar for Islamophobia is conveniently high, then.
I'm tired what am I missing. It sounds like the same Jewish reaction to him we've seen for the past 6 months and doesnt seem to be anything to do with Islam and has everything to do with comments hes actually made and since walked back.
I thought it was going to be a dem talking about him eating rice with hands or enacting sharia law. This isnt islamophobia and isnt even news worthy. Having read that article like 3 times now ive got to say its so badly written actual slop outlet.

“Joe Manchin is literally the best we can do so stop complaining”
Oh thank god. This is a glimmer of hope. 💙
Yeah between that and VA, NJ, and CA I feel about 5% more hope that things will get better.
Sweet merciful relief.
I don't understand why the whole country of Republicans are so focused on a mayor. Feels like we need secret service to protect the mayor now with all the fascist shit targeting him.
Makes sense to me. He is everything they fear/hate.
Progressive, empathetic, compassionate, intelligent, and brown.
They’re afraid that this will start a progressive momentum across the us. The new major does need protection. The whole world is watching.
Hope this is the start of a progressive wave.
Mamdani 2028?
Sadly he can't. Naturalized citizen.
Ahh yes. Laws. Some say we have the best laws. I heard them say it myself.
Crap. I forgot.
I'd say if trump runs, he should too.
I don’t care what all y’all party poopers and doomers in the comments say, after a year of nothing but complete and utter trash news, I’ll take the wins the progressives won yesterday on Nov 4th.
Same here. Fuck the haters. We're finally getting somewhere.
Not a hater. Happy for the news. Very.
I'm not looking forward to the response.
It's a good win. We celebrated. Time to get back to work, cuz it ain't over.
That's my mayor 🥹 That's America's mayor!
Only stunning if you haven’t been paying attention.
All I can say for sure is that I now feel like like I probably could have accomplished more with my life, considering we are the same age.
