Zohran for NYC

Posted by LuchAAA on Tue Oct 14 23:07:47 2025

I wonder why he's branding himself by his first name Zohran?

His website. TV ads. The focus is on his first name.

I'm sure it's not long. Most are voting for Cuomo, including myself.

Could be the generation. They love to be called by their first name.
It’s also easier to say than his last name.

I guess he doesn't want to get confused with:
Ebrahim Mamdani (1942–2010), Tanzanian-British mathematician and computer scientist

Mahmood Mamdani (born 1946), Indian-Ugandan academic author, and political commentator

Mohammed Mamdani (born 1983), British entrepreneur and activist

Muhammad Mamdani, Canadian pharmacist and academic

Riaz Mamdani, Ugandan-Canadian businessman

Bingo!

Cuomo's got to land few knock out punches (figurative) at the debate to have any realistic chance to beat the beard. As for Curtis, he'd be great for the city but as it stands now, he'd be lucky to get 20% of the vote. That's also is realistic.

Get ready to sell your homes, your businesses and move out of NYC.

If you dare to stay in NYC, make sure you have less than $100 in your bank accounts and drain your retirements before Zohran's communist regime uses eminent domain to seize your properties in the interest for paying all that "great" freebies.

Years ago I posted here about homeowners.

People, usually seniors, who live in a 2 BR with no kids and how government would want to tax them for owning too much space.

I was mocked by a List of chatters who said it was ridiculous. Now NYC has a candidate who thinks this way.

I'm Hearing that in some neighborhoods there's a waiting list for moving vans (U Hauls) along with for hire moving companies when the exodus starts. He'll never get away with any of his proposed giveaways or confiscations. But he might try to get away with raising the real estate takes on affluent (code word got White) neighborhoods.
Bottom line is this, if the beard wins, buckle your seatbelts on those moving vans.

Huh?

He can push for different rate structures than are currently in place, sure. But single family homes are only going to have one rate structure, and those are not predominantly white-owned or minority owned.

Co-ops are maybe more heavily white-owned, but deliberately penalizing them would be political suicide. A good part of his base is liberal white co-op owners.

LOL. How's the tin foil lining in your hat doing?

A bank account is not subject to eminent domain. Despite President Trump's most energetic efforts, we still have a Constitution.

Mamdani actually got a very large percentage of his primary votes from the middle class. Look at the map.

Link

Just as one of many examples, he strongly won the East Village but lost the projects on Avenue D to Cuomo.

It's not a uniform picture by any means, but he wouldn't have won without very heavy middle class support.

In what way? It's unconstitutional to base tax rate on neighborhood or ethnic makeup.

There's plenty wrong with Mamdani but you guys are just making this up.

Yes. Similar things happen there.

Mamdani did very well in Brooklyn Heights (middle class for sure) and Long Island City (ditto). Cuomo did well in East New York.

Again, my main point is that there was no broad pattern, and there were lots of comfortably well off neighborhoods that went for Mamdani. But there were also neighborhoods that went the other way.

Why, do you think I'm wrong just because my first example was in Manhattan?

Socialists, not democrats.

Unfortunately the Bernie/AOC/Mamdani caucus is ruining the Democratic Party and overshadowing the liberals. Plenty of people will now vote R because they will assume the D stands for Das Kapital.

First of all I didn’t say you were wrong. Secondly I would not call Brooklyn Heights middle class. It’s upper middle class if it’s anything and has been. It looks like the real middle class neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens went with Cuomo and the invaded communities went to ZM.
