While I have not supported the views of Mamdani on government grocery stores, free bus rides or defunding the police, he is less of a racist than the typical MAGA folks which is needed for the more diverse NY diaspora. Its a democracy and people have the right to chose and Trump and his team should stop the antics and deal with it.
And Mamdani is far better than the Somali contestants who speak nothing but anti-trump. Mamdani addressed the burning issues in NYC such as high rents, inflation costs, crime rate etc though his views may/may not work, but those resonated with the public there.
This should be a wake up call for both Republicans and Democrats. For democrats to see that their tariffs talk and MAGA thing is not working with actual people on the ground. And for Democrats to see whats actually working - its not the LGBTQ and extreme leftists views but addressing the important ones concerning daily life. Interesting times ahead.
