We will need to be on our toes because the millionaires and billionaires will not be below creating AI to make him look guilty of things he never did. Mayor Eric Adams was spreading a horrible lying attack against Mamdani on Don Lemon yesterday. Adams just grinned real big after saying it, thinking that folks would believe him. None of Don's watchers fell for it.
You have to be born in the US to be President, so Zohran wouldn't qualify. I wish him all the best if he wins (fingers crossed) as he tackles power brokers and city machinery. He is going to need all the support and solidarity of a strong grassroots coalition to get his ideas activated to get past all the gatekeepers.....
I love your analysis and composition skills. This is a comprehensive, explicit, forthright look at the situation - which I so appreciate in all your prolific writing. Bravo, Qasim. I shared a plea by Michael Moore for New Yorkers to vote for Mamdani. I am very glad he won. I am from Long Island and lived in Manhattan in the 70s. Best wishes.
I’m really unhappy with Kristen Gillibrand’s support of Cuomo. I remember how she kneecapped Al Franken and played a leading role in forcing him out of the Senate. But now a serial sexual abuser is OK???
Congratulations to Zohran who took on the tired old guard and won. Time for a change party-wide!
You have discerned and captured in this powerfully written piece what many of us have felt for years. I am one of the 92% who has voted in every local, state and federal election for the last 50 years. I am so eager to embrace the next generation of leadership. There can be no greater joy than being able to pass the baton to those willing to continue the race for justice. May God bless Mr Mamdani in his quest for office and you in efforts to platform these pressing issues.
This makes me think of the rage and hatred many of the wealthy, including some democrats, had (still have) towards FDR and how they have spent decades trying to dismantle what he accomplished for the country. Today's Democratic Party needs to stop being the party of Ronald Reagan and go back to being the party of FDR if they want to win elections. Otherwise, they are consciously choosing to be enablers of the MAGA regime.
Thank you, Qasim, for laying out the facts. I forwarded this to 2 daughters & 2 friends, hoping to dispel that he is anti-semite (one had heard that). In the most expensive city, that needs workers to make it run, yet can't afford to live there, his suggestions of taxing the wealthy, freezing rents, providing free bus and childcare .... this will help IF the establishment will get out of the way. The altered racist photo, shows he should -- we'll see. To see integrity finally ... is a breath of fresh air.
I am really happy Zoran won the primary. The old guard needs to pass the torch and bow out graciously. I believe Zoran has the winning formula for the Dems along with AOC, Jasmine Crocket, Pete B, etc. I am a boomer and recognize the status quo is a losing formula. Wake up and let go of clinging onto power. Bernie S. is the only senior in the party with guts and dedication to the working class. F*#& the billionaires!
The ClintonFoundation has done MORE than enough Pedophile-Isle, ZioNaziTERRORIST, BLOOD-LUST DAMAGE to Humanity. GTFO and STAY OUT, until YOUR Noose & Gallows are readied.
Zohran Mamdani is a beautiful soul. He embodies a compassionate intellectuality and his greatest strength is *Authencity*. He is America's Sexiest Mayor, inside and out. He is musically and artistically talented, morally sound, genuine, and caring. If America prides itself on being a nation of immigrants, I see no reason he shouldn't be president. 💖🥰💪🌎🔥

I'll happily vote for Mamdani as soon as NYC expands to include my town in central PA. Since that is unlikely to happen, I'll wish him well from afar.

That is a Right On analysis!!!
Corporate Dems and AIPAC control will pull every stop. We must all rally around him no matter from where we hail.

Heather: So true. I often think the same thing. May your urging be realized.
Glad to have a real progressive champion win in New York City.
From everything you wrote, and I trust your words and opinions more than any other person in politics, we need more Mamdanis in our country.
We need more people like Zohran in elected positions 😊.
