Why the Powerful Fear Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani Is Winning the Class War And the Elites Are Shook

In a political moment defined by cowardice, compromise, and capitulation, Zohran Kwame Mamdani is doing the unthinkable: he’s standing his ground and instead still gaining momentum. And not just against Republicans, but against the billionaires, corporate media giants, and establishment Democrats who continue to sell out the working class to maintain their grip on power.

Let’s be crystal clear—this is a class war. And Mamdani, a 33-year-old Brown, Muslim, immigrant is showing us how to win. But will the Democratic Party come to its senses and follow his lead? Let’s Address This.

The Billionaire Surrender Machine

In just the past year, the American elite have thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at Donald Trump in an attempt to avoid his wrath and protect their bottom lines:

• ABC: Paid Trump $15 million in a defamation settlement

• Paramount: Cut a $16 million check to Trump for “emotional distress”

• Meta/Facebook: Paid $25 million to Trump after banning him for inciting violence

• Corporate law firms: Coughed up $100 million in fees to stay in his good graces

• Columbia University: Bent the knee to Trump to preserve a $400 million pipeline—despite holding a $15 billion endowment

• Target: Bent the knee to Trump and gutted their DEI initiatives—despite an annual revenue exceeding $107 billion

These are the most powerful institutions in the country, with every tool imaginable at their disposal—access, capital, legal armies, media clout—and yet they’re falling over themselves to appease a twice-impeached, 34-times convicted fascist. Instead of wielding their power to uphold justice, they are bankrolling the erosion of democracy.

Enter Zohran Mamdani

While the billionaires cozy up to Trump, Zohran Mamdani is telling him—and everyone aligned with him—we will not be intimidated. He isn’t just calling out injustice; he’s refusing to bow to it.

And for that, the establishment is panicking.

• The New York Times told voters not to rank him, then endorsed his opponent—who ran a campaign smearing Mamdani with Islamophobic lies, including the accusation that he wanted to “kill Jews.” Since Mamdani’s win, the Times has run repeated OpEds, articles, and hit pieces demonizing and dehumanizing Mamdani. Just this week the NY Times ran yet another hit piece, citing an anonymous “race scientist” to criticize Mamdani for identifying himself as Asian and African American on his college applications. Mamdani is literally of South Asian ethnicity and born in Uganda, which last I checked is in Africa. The NY Times did not find it newsworthy that the man they endorsed (Tilson) published a dangerous and false attack on Mamdani in 2025, but apparenetly a 17-year-old kid’s college application from 2009 is newsworthy.

• The Washington Post editorial board condemned his victory, not his platform, warning that his rise is a threat. They did not do this for Donald Trump, is demonstrably an existential threat to global peace—but they have to Mamdani.

• The Financial Times criticized him for having the audacity to say that billionaires shouldn’t exist. Never mind that we are currently in the worst period of wealth and income inequality in modern American history, and the Big Ugly Bill will further exacerbate that—but apparently Mamdani calling that out is a threat.

• Senator Kirsten Gillibrand falsely accused him of promoting “global jihad.”

• Republican officials are already calling for his citizenship to be stripped and for him to be deported.

• Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries? Nowhere to be found. They refuse to endorse him. Instead, New York Congressman Tom Souzzi went a step further and wrote an absurd OpEd in the Wall Street Journal condemning Mamdani.

You would think that a party with an approval rating gasping for air at 26%, in which nearly 70% want new party leadership, in which you’ve lost two of the last three Presidential elections and currently do not control any branch of government, would show a bit of humility—especially to a guy who is getting the job done.

But you’d be wrong. Establishment Democrats are doubling down in their arrogance and utter stupidity, refusing to read the room.

All of this for what? For proposing to raise taxes by 2% on millionaires, to freeze rent, to provide universal childcare, and to make public transportation free. For refusing corporate money. For choosing people over profit. For being unbought and unbossed. On this platform, Mamdani won a landslide victory over Cuomo, inspiring record turnout.

This is why Zohran Mamdani scares them. He threatens not just a political party, but the entire political class that has fed off of working people’s pain for decades. He is the first ripple of a tidal wave they know is coming.

The Choice Before Us

Regardless of your political affiliation—this isn’t about left versus right. This is about top versus bottom. This is about whether we want a nation ruled by oligarchs and billionaires, or one that truly reflects the will of We the People.

You don’t have to agree with Mamdani on everything. But if you believe billionaires shouldn’t be dictating who gets healthcare and who goes hungry, then you should stand with him.

If you believe that a free press should hold power accountable—not endorse smears and lies—you should stand with him.

If you believe that a Muslim immigrant who wins an election by listening to his constituents deserves praise, not persecution—you should stand with him.

Because the war against Mamdani isn’t just an attack on one man. It’s a warning shot to every working-class person who dares to fight back. It’s a message from the top: Don’t you dare believe you can win.

Let’s prove them wrong.

Stand with Mamdani. Share his story. Reject fascism—whether it’s wearing a red tie or a blue one. And let the billionaires know: we are coming for our future back.

And this time, they can’t buy their way out of it.
