They're afraid of Zohran because he's better at this than they are. Puts people first, and exposing their own failings.

Reminder: They’re afraid of Zohran because he’s better at this than they are. He is putting the people first, and it reminds them of their own failings.

1. The largest population of Jews outside of Israel has reasons...

… to be consented about a man who defends the phrase “globalize the infadada” even after the terror attacked in Boulder and DC.

2. Apparently they have reasons to campaign and vote for him - as they did.

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

4. That's racist, it's no different than claiming anyone Jewish running for is a problem,

Jewish politicians support him.

Some Jewish groups do not.

All this crap about him being Muslim is racism

[Celerity]

5. Mamdani's response to questions about the phrase "globalize the intifada" was quite good & not at all what his attackers

say it was. Watch the clip here and ask yourself why so many prominent people are lying about it.

6. That should be a stand alone OP. This guy is the real deal.

Thanks for that.

12. I second that! N/T

7. might help to watch what he actually said to about "intifada", and don't believe the hate being spread at FOX

For New Yorkers panicking over @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s win and considering Adams (who owes Trump for saving him), might help to watch what he actually said to @timmiller.bsky.social about “intifada”👇🏽

(“means uprising/struggle… different things to different people… Holocaust Museum used it”)

8. The struggle for equality should be globalized. I'm concerned that it's not.

9. I'm very opposed to Hamas and I think Mamdani is handling this issue well.

He made a point of saying that he himself doesn't use that phrase. He defends the right of others to use the phrase, and that's a constitutionally protected right.

There's a wide range of opinions about Israel among American Jews. Quite a few Jewish people in NYC voted for Mamdani.

3. New York's Democratic Powers-That-Be may be afraid of him, but I'm not.

While I'll admit that I'm not that involved in New York City politics and don't want to be, I'd like to point out that great city of London in the United Kingdom has Sadiq Khan as its mayor since 2016 and hasn't sunken beneath the Thames River. The Brits are still being Brits, Churches, Synagogues and Sikh temples are still open, and by and large the women of London have eschewed wearing Burqas.

[yardwork]

10. It's quite bigoted to assume that a Muslim will be a bigot.

The responses to Mamdani's win are really disappointing.

I've tended to bat away accusations that some conservative bloc of elderly Democratic politicians is trying to squelch innovation but recent events are making me take a closer look.

Mamdani won the Democratic primary in NYC. Cuomo lost. Done. It's over. Get behind Mamdani and get him elected mayor. Do people want Adams again?! A Republican?!

WTAF.

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. He rocks the boat...

Systems resist change, and Mamdani represents radical change from the business-as-usual, status quo.

Although he is unlike Harris in most ways, they do share the characteristic of being “joyful warriors”, and I hope that serves him well in the face of the attacks and sabotage that are sure to come his way during the campaign.
