Zohran Mamdani's momentum shows no sign of slowing down

Mr. Mamdani, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?

yeah, I've read these stories countless times and the outcome has always been the same. In all honesty I think they do more harm than good. It gets it into the morons heads "oh, he's going to win, I can stay home".

Wow, I am finally glad that the worst people in the world telling you not to support them, even if some of those evil assholes are Democrats, has stopped working.

Fucking love this polling. The only shot the establishment has is either Adams or Cuomo dropping out and endorsing the other. Cuomo won't quit because he's a sociopathic narcissist. Adams can't quit because if he can't do Trump's bidding in NYC, Trump will probably prosecute him for corruption (and he is very guilty of corruption). Throw Silwa into the mix and the moderates will have to choose between two corrupt megalomaniacs and a weirdo in a beret, while anyone remotely progressive will gravitate towards Mamdani.

I vote for Not Sure. He's the smartest man in the world.
- So...Socrates?
Also to note for others: NYC only has ranked choice for mayor in primaries (or special elections), so there is no ranked choice in this general election

sure, until his momentum hits a very large, orange, fascist wall. let's hope that doesn't happen.

Yes so New Yorkers need to get out there and raise hell if Trump even so much as tries to touch Mamdani. Fail to do that and democracy is well and truly dead.
- absolutely raise hell. nobody should be quiet in the face of tyranny. however, i believe democracy in the US has been dead for quite some time.
He needs to have the most supporters possible to help fight that obstacle.
- I feel like that one's expected and therefore not the biggest threat. Everyone knows what the biggest threat is but only that it's spineless and makes no sense, so good luck planning ahead for it. Numbers should help, but have seem meaningless in the past.
Hey so let’s not go ham on the pessimism just yet. There’s a lot of things that can go wrong in a lot of places, yes, but we’re seeing a lot of good things so far. Let’s not assume he and the movement he’s starting is gonna fail a priori.
- sure, but may i point out you are telling me to "not go ham on the pessimism" during modern American fascism spearheaded by a would-be dictator who has a hardon for deporting legal brown citizens and SCOTUS is fine with it
Depends on the size of the wave behind him. Studies have shown a wall alone isn't as effective at stopping large waves. Now when there are effective and thought out breakers further out, the wave tends to have little effect.
Thankfully, this administration is incompetent. Problem though is the amount of resources they have and a Democratic, and Nationwide resistance, that can't stop eating their boots for failure of any true effectiveness.
We need a leader. Just like the Republicans, we need a person, or person, we can rally behind. Figureheads that stand as tall as Trump. Until then, what we have are several broken fronts working loosely together against a larger, [mostly] coordinated force.

The only ones that don’t want Mamdani in Gracie Mansion are the rich fuckers ruining the city. There are many many many more working class people in NYC than rich fuckers.
