It's funny that even the Post can't find a bad photo of Mamdani. If anyone should know it, a cover is 90% photo and 10% words.

So, the NY Post thinks he's a radical, huh?

He talks about helping people, instead of corporations and the oligarchs. I'm shocked that the Oligarchs don't like that. I admit I haven't followed his policies closely, but most seem fine. The only one I'm wary of is rent control, since controlling prices can cause problems.

Seriously though, if I lived in New York, he'd have my vote. They certainly haven't demonstrated that any potential issues are worse than the current problems. I suspect too few own too much and the market is not working. I'd rather see people owning/working together/etc.

The details of rent regulations in New York City are very complex. Actual rent control apartments are very rare. Many apartments are rent stabilized, which means landlords can only raise your rent every year by a certain percentage.

So much of what the Right says to smear him makes him sound cool. “He’s a Muslim” wow, awesome! “He believes in free healthcare” OMG same!! “He’s a radical socialist who wants to overthrow the government” I already love him, you can stop hyping him up 😭

The only bad photo of Mamdani that I have seen up til now is the one Time magazine picked to put on its cover.

Idk; it certainly isn't the most aesthetically flattering photo - but showcasing a $65 Casio A700WM-7AVT does nothing if not burnish working-class cred - particularly in contrast to the Omegas & Pateks seen on the wrists of other politicians 🤷🏼‍♂️

Unmasking Terror @unmaskingterror.bsky.social

I think what freaks out the Mamdani haters is 1) he is not "white" but hard to fit into another ethnic group 2) naturally likeable 3) young and energetic 4) not obviously beholden to special interests and way down the list is his political views.

He is hard to define and therefore hard to demean. None of the usual lazy insults or slurs fits or sticks. It enrages MAGA and the usual NY politicos
