    Duh. Rich people. If there are any left there after the election.

    I really think he will just assure a GOP mayor.

      He has a tax plan but it all has to be approved by the state. I don’t know all the details, but I think ever since the city needed to be bailed out in the 70s (remember the NYPost famous headline- Ford to City: Drop Dead) the state has some veto power over the public fisc.

        My concern is the anti-Mamdani vote will be split. There will be the GOP guy, Adams as an independent, and possibly Cuomo - he is considering running as an independent.

        The GOP guy ran before. He’s the founder of the Guardian Angels.

          It will leave them ready for the next Rudy.

          A couple observations- first, I cannot believe NYC would elect a Muslim mayor after 9/11. Second, if there’s any city that needs a bare knuckles brawler it’s NYC. That mayor is up against all the most powerful players and factions one can imagine. I don’t know whether he has the stones for it, but I doubt it.

            Really? Those four are the best we have to offer? Lord help us and vote for Cuomo.

                He calls himself Trump’s Nightmare. I think it’s more like Trump’s Wet Dream. The more guys like this are in public eye and in positions of power, the stronger you make Trump.

                      Hard to imagine anti-Zionist or antisemite winning in Jew York, even if he has the D next to his name.

                        He’s actually got a fair amount of “progressive” Jew support. The Jewish comptroller has been very public in his support. He really plays into the anti-Zionism ≠ antisemite.

                          I haven’t followed Lander much (the comptroller) but I thought their co-endorsement was tactical given the ranked-choice voting. Let’s see if it continues into the general.

                            He got the wealthy college educated white person vote. Progressive Jews will be a big part of that. The people in the parts of the city he aims to help most directly with his helpful socialism, voted mostly for Cuomo.

                            Education is extremely important.

                              I know a Jew who jews for a living that made a social media commercial for him.

                              Flip description but he makes his living touring internationally with a klezmer band and has a won a Grammy. I was shocked when I saw him supporting Momdani.
