Zohran Mamdani is going to win, barring a major change in developments. I don't care for him and would not vote for him, but if he does win he should be allowed to be the mayor and run his city autonomously from the federal government.
Instead, what's going to happen is that Trump will send the feds in as soon as, or even before, he is inaugurated on New Year's Day. It will be a mixed stew of ICE, CBP, National Guard, FBI, Secret Service and various other masked thugs with a badge.
Just war.

I do dread possibly seeing ICE arrive around here at some point.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
