I would most likely vote for Mamdani. That being said, I was just questioning his refusal to address the real meaning of "Globalize the Intifada' instead of whitewashing it. That will not help him politically as it will alienate him to some demographics.

Don't we want him to win?
I'm a cynical old coot and look for points of weakness in any candidate I support.
Maybe I'm wrong - it's been decades since I lived there.

I also think he needs to flesh out his ideas.

Sure, it's the conspiracy by rich Jews (the stereotypical "other" side) to call out antisemitism for what it is. Beastly Boy Jul 2025 #9
