Not going to happen Dems will bring in someone strong And run them as an Independent There is a lot of Untapped Dem talent That is not the old guard Otherwise He will hand the position to Curtis Sliwa???? Don't think so Would make everyone yearn for Days of de Blasio And nobody wants that

Confused why the media is discussing Sliwa as an alternative. The last thing I remember reading about him was that he was involved in some kind of violent altercation or overthetop nutbag civilian police force. Really seems like a last ditch effort to hurt Mamdani. And that's putting it lightly.

Sliwa founded The Guardian Angels Has a very shady past Strong Rudy Giuliani ally And endorsed his evil spawn for Governor He has run for mayor before This has nothing to do with Mamdani He thought he would be facing Cuomo Do not think Mamdani nor Sliwa will win An Independent will take it

Perhaps, but New York isn't the state of Independents. It's the state of Democrats. And they didn't think Mamdani had a chance in the primary, and killed it, ye of little faith. 🤷‍♀️

He’s very exciting. I’m a baby boomer but still.

True left ideals are very popular. People want policies that help them. They want universal healthcare, accessible education and housing, food security, and the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water. Run on clear humanist ideals, and Mandani, OAC and Bernie have proved that you win.

The pundits miss the mark. Democrats have not gone too far left. Democrats lost because they do not fight for their values; they are too ready to cancel those who are not perfect and worry more about the way we express ourselves than the substance of what we want.

Who have they cancelled?

Yeah, this is not in any way shape or form a movement the rest of the country is interested in. If he somehow manages to win the general, could be interesting to watch how he performs after he becomes both real and corrupt.

It’s almost as if people are surprised to learn the ever-widening American wealth inequality is the key driver of societal dysfunction and current slide toward autocracy. Shocker - people are looking for someone to shake the system up.

Why would anyone consider voting Republican anyway? They’re cowards who vote in lockstep with Trump regardless how destructive to the economy or their constituents’ health care. Our GOP Congressman boasts what an independent he is, yet votes with Trump 100% of the time.

Apparently, Dems in NYC have learned nothing after seeing what trump is doing. Elect crazy, get crazy.

Love how the press picks apart everything the Dems do. A Dem in NYC is very different from a Dem in Omaha…we have a big tent. I think we can handle it. We’ve tried same-old same-old in NYC and it ain’t pretty. Let’s see how Mamdani does.

Damn shit. We don’t care what name you put to it. It is time for the government to help its poor and not the damn rich. To hell with you.

Oh good grief. The whole country is the early days of Nazi Germany and they want to throw around hyperbole about NY before they even elected a mayor ?

And new blood in the party! Young and diverse are good things!

Exactly 👉WHY👈 are you people spreading this garbage around? Just change your name to "Trump Taint Lickers in the Morning" and get it over with.

Note to GOP. The word socialist isn’t scary anymore.

In blue areas candidates are going to be increasingly judged by how much of a contrast they present with Trump.

Okay...now come up with a name for people who want to vote for an entitled sex pest or a mayor who should still be under indictment for taking bribes from a foreign country. I'll wait.

"Governor" and "Mayor"?

Excellent...hah.

Idk NYC mayors have very little to do with what's going on in the rest of the US and the sub 2% presidential votes and polls point that out So it's a mistake to think this means a radical change in American politics is afoot, unless that change is "Democrats have committed party suicide"

I am simply pointing out that a national paper is covering his win that makes the people who voted for him sound radical.

Idk if the people who voted for him are radical but he is

What is so radical?

Aside from "non existence of Israel," which some people might consider a radical benefit, I'd say, "free stuff that there is no plausible way to pay for"

Sad how citizens have been gaslighted by the rich and powerful into believing they don't deserve nice things. Funny how there's never "no plausible way" to pay for billion dollar bombs or military parades.

What is the plausible way that New Yorkers will pay for free mass transit and/or free child care? I know that the math works, somewhat, but what is the way in which the reality also works? Why vote for someone who is just jacking you off?

@jonlemire.bsky.social "liberal, socialist, out of touch" Lemire is a propagandist for his corporate bosses.

They're scared of Mamdani. Good.

As opposed to trump’s banana republic? He is a democratic with socialist ideations. So did FDR. We are still enjoying some of his policies today.

Rightwing legislators now proclaim that Mamdani is a terrorist. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social must stop with the extremist slurs used here as we now see that this type of extremist antagonism proclaiming that Mamdani is unAmerican can beget more hate & smears by legislators. YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TOO.

We see by your goofy headline that you're trying to make social democrats sound like the People's Republic of China. That's a pretty low blow especially for a Scarborough-free Morning Jo show. Is there no escaping Scarbro's intifada globalism (or global intifada?) accusations in corporate media? 🤨

Lemire, still trying to smear Mamdani, even after he literally slammed the big money millionaire democrats into oblivion? Get your act together or we will dump you now that your parent company is getting ready to spin you off or dump you too.
