Zohran Mamdani’s New York City is Your American Nightmare
By Joseph Ford Cotto

 Zohran Mamdani’s rise to prominence in New York City politics is nothing short of a cautionary tale for anyone concerned about the future of America.

An avowed socialist Democrat, Mamdani has harnessed a coalition fueled by decades of mass immigration and a swelling cohort of leftist ideologues who reject the private sector and embrace government control.

Polling consistently demonstrates his advantage. A Sept. 10 Quinnipiac University survey, in a hypothetical three-way mayoral race, showed Mamdani leading with 46% support. Andrew Cuomo, running as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary, got 30%, leaving Republican Curtis Sliwa at 17%.

The New York Times/Siena poll from Sept. 9 mirrored this finding, with Mamdani at 46% in a four-way race, Cuomo at 24%, and Sliwa at 15%. Emerson College’s Sept. 18 survey placed Mamdani at 43%, Cuomo at 28%, and Sliwa at 10%.

These numbers are not mere abstractions. They reflect a coalition galvanized by the erosion of traditional New York City values, driven in part by perilous immigration policies stretching back six decades.

2 terms in, and I am guessing the streets of NYC are going to start looking like a Mad Max movie.

Not Escape From New York?

After listening to the bi-coastals dismiss us as flyover country for all these years, I'm having a hard time giving a rat's batootie if Gotham flushes itself down a hole of stupidity.

It's not like their being strongarmed here, they are literally rushing to this guy.

I remember reading about Abe Beame and John Lindsay, probably the two worst mayors they ever had, totally eschonched in 60's liberalism/socialism (despite Lindsay being a Republican), who destroyed it and it become the abomination of the 70's and 80's. The former before my time but I visited NYC many times in the 80's, it was pretty bad.

Nah. It’ll be back to the late 1970s.  Won’t be safe, of course, but it won’t be Mad Max, either.
