Last night’s result is huge news for the country and it should make everyone reading this realize two things: 

1. Whoever is the Democratic nominee for President in 2028 is very likely to be the next President. Let’s put it at 65-70%. 
 

2. There is a very good chance, at least 50-50, that the Democratic nominee for President is going to be a progressive leftist for the very first time. I know that’s news for some of you but no, Obama, Hillary, Biden and Kamala weren’t leftist; they were all part of the Democratic Establishment. The next one probably won’t be. 
 

This is almost entirely because of Trump. 

 

Hey dumb dumb, he didn’t even get half the vote. And Diblasio was a progressive. He won twice. How did the democrats do then ?

I get frustrated arguing about this with @jerryskids. He is a likable guy, a good guy, and I wish the best for him and his health situation especially. But he, and a few others here, have what I regard as blinders when it comes to Islam (and also with regard to transgender people for every different reasons.) There is a collectivized attitude which I find wholly at odds with traditional conservatism. 

Blinders?  One of us has them.  Any individual Muslim is generally fine, but concentrations of Islamic culture are anathema to Western culture.  This is borne out in every Western country/region where they have grown unchecked in the past few decades.

And before you say it, the 1970s called to tell you that "Islamic culture" has changed since then.  Gone are the modern, metropolitan Iran and Egypt.  Islamic shiot show governments have taken over pretty much the entire region.

Just because a culture exists, doesn't make it a good culture.

You might want to look up the definition of strawman argument, because that wasn’t one.

But anyway, I watched your video that told you what to think.  So they (and by extension, you) think he hates Jews and “the west.”  Can you provide some statements where he has said this?  Kelly and Kirk did not, other than him defending the phrase “globalize the intifada.”  But contrary to what @jerryskids may think, that doesn’t mean he hates all Jews.  You could argue he hates Israel, but even hating the state of Israel doesn’t mean he hates everyone that lives there.  And Israel is, wait for it, not in the US.  Yet earlier you stated liberals in NYC will vote for someone that hates them, but Mamdani does not.  You lied.

Mamdani Vows To Knock Down World Trade Center To Build More Affordable Housing

 

 Summarize

 

NEW YORK CITY — Zohran Mamdani, winner of New York City's mayoral Democratic primary, has vowed to knock down the One World Trade Center in order to build more affordable housing.

Mamdani admitted that taking down the popular tower was something of a political suicide mission, but he remained undeterred.

"We will not allow the wealthy capitalist elite to hijack our city," said Mamdani. "As mayor, I promise to take this problem head on by bringing down One World Trade Center and putting cheap, government-controlled apartments in its place. I understand that people believe this initiative could really blow up in my face. But so long as I'm at the controls, that's where we're heading."

Many New Yorkers have expressed doubts about Mamdani's plan, not believing it to be feasible. "That tower would be almost impossible to take down, unless the support structure were to be melted or something," said local man Roger Philips. "Mamdani said he has a plan he's been working on for years with a dozen or so experts, but I'm skeptical."

At publishing time, Mamdani had announced he would also be removing all synagogues in the city to make way for new government-operated grocery stores.

I told my wife about this, and she countered that Malaysia is an Islamic culture that plays well with others.  She comes from the 1970s background as well -- she grew up in a highly Muslim area near Detroit, her best friend in HS was Iranian, and one of her best friends from college was a rich Muslim from Malaysia. 

I pointed out that it's not an Islamic government, but her point is well taken.  So I amend my position to, say, "Islamic Regime Culture"?  Muslims who have grown up in multicultural environments are fine.

I disagree that Zohran being nominated was because of Trump.

And the Dems would be stupid to nominate a progressive leftist in 2028.  If they nominate a moderate from a purple or red state like Shapiro, Beshear or Cooper they can probably win though.

I don’t think you get what’s going to happen here. The Republican Party is committing suicide with the combination of the tariffs and the Big Beautiful Bill gutting Medicare. They’re almost guaranteeing a progressive wave.

How could you NOT interpret it as a a joke, even if you didn’t find it funny?  He was replying to Matt Walsh saying that it was a “disgrace” that 40% of NYC’s population is foreign-born (which my understanding has been a similar number for decades.  Here is the same stat cited in 2017, so we can’t blame Biden - https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/our-immigrant-population-helps-power-nyc-economy/).  Clearly Miller knows Walsh wasn’t actually born in Ireland, he was pointing out how almost everyone’s family was an immigrant at some point.

But the irony of all the snowflakes in the comments being offended by his joke yet have no problem with people being serious about calling Zohran a “jihadist” (which multiple million+ follower accounts have done) is off the charts.

Or, evidence that a lot of Jews aren't very Jewish.  My barber is a Jew who emigrated from Soviet Russia to NY before moving here; I assure you he wouldn't have voted for Zohran.

If you are a young, upper middle class person in NYC who happened to be born into a Jewish family, what better way to score social points than to support Hamas?  Why, vote for a Muslim Socialist mayor!  Besides, Hamas was so 2024, immigrants are the new Palestinians anyway!

Tim here thinks these Jews are honoring Shabbat, going to temple, eating Kosher, and supporting a Muslim terrorist organization against their family's homeland.

Here’s a good article on his comments about “Globalize the intifada.”  This guy clearly does not hate Jews, and saying things like this I’m sure is why many Jews (just not Hasidics, who might as well be a different religion) support him

https://www.jta.org/2025/06/18/politics/in-tearful-address-mamdani-laments-criticism-following-his-globalize-the-intifada-comments

“It pains me to be called an antisemite. It pains me to be painted as if I am somehow in opposition to the very Jewish New Yorkers that I know and love and that are such a key part of the city,” Mamdani said.

Mamdani then went on to tell reporters about threats to his life he has faced as the first Muslim mayoral candidate, becoming visibly emotional and pausing his statements to compose himself before continuing.

“I get messages that say the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. I get threats on my life,” said Mamdani, who then paused to compose himself as his voice broke. “On the people that I love, and I try not to talk about it, because the function of racism, as Toni Morrison said, is distraction.”

“The thing that’s made me proudest in this campaign is that the strength of our movement is built on our ability to have built something across Jewish and Muslim workers, across New Yorkers of all faiths and all backgrounds and all boroughs,” he said. “And antisemitism is such a real issue in the city, and it has been hard to see it weaponized by candidates who do not seem to have any sincere interest in tackling but rather in using it as a pretext to make political points.”
