2025 NYC Mayor Race

[bnew]

Yeah I know it is that way and it should stop, this whole thing where people live here for 10-20 years and can't speak or read English is bad in the long run

The diversity is only good if it leads to one overall culture and language, if not it leads to balkanization

theres plenty of other cities that can do that, we're good over here.

Democrats had a huge Florida win, flipping the Clermont City Council in Lake County, Florida.

🫶 AND
Miami mayor race heads to a runoff:
A Democrat against a DeSantis-endorsed candidate.

[QUOTED POST]
‪@santiagomayer.com‬
To recap, among young voters…

Prop 50: +58
Sherril: +37
Spanberger: +40
Mamdani: +61

I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.

Overwhelmingly young men are voting against Trump. Gives a whole new momentum to his stealing of the Village People’s YMCA song he awkwardly dances to.
“Young man. There’s a a thing you should no. I said young man he’s a fraud with a ho…”

Andrew has a point, diversity is good only if there is a parallel move to unify the culture if not it's bad

It's fine for example to respect people's languages but it's not fine to codify multiple languages in the name of diversity , in the end everybody should speak English

Having multiple languages and multiple cultures makes it hard for the government to work

You and Andrew have it backwards. Diversity is good on its own merits. It's a fact of nature that produces progress and robust, healthy systems. A culture is only good if it is able to positively interact and integrate with diversity.

Antisemitism and racism aren't bad because they produce discord and antipathy, they're bad because they are structurally opposed to diversity. It is the racist/antisemitic culture that responds to diversity with discord and antipathy that is bad. The correct response is to change the culture, not acquiesce to the withering and winnowing by eliminating diversity.

The correct response to your language example is to allow and accommodate multiple languages while also codifying some form of a lingua franca, not to eliminate diversity to be create functional interrelations.

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points. 40! And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump. He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus. 1/2

So, all the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.

Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

He ran on affordability. That’s what did it. Do the other stances matter? Yes, but it comes down to affordability.

So you’re saying that as long as we make American’s lives better in some way, there’s room for everyone to benefit? How novel.

andyfraser.bsky.social
So how did he persuade young men “you know who is making your life unaffordable? Why you can’t afford to live although you’re working hard? It ain’t trans rights, it ain’t immigrants, it ain’t woke. It’s corrupt billionaires”?
Because that is the message everyone needs to have.

This is incredible. But the only problem that I see is that Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill only won that same group of young men by 10 points.

It sure seems like those young men might still have an issue with women being in positions of power. At least that's how it looks to me.

Love this so much. Hopefully this means that the manosphere is entering its decline phase, though a glance at Spotify's podcast charts suggests otherwise. (Weird to see that anyone listens to fukker Carlson in this day and age.)

A stark counter to the exact demo CK was speaking too. Hopefully Mamdani’s message of joy & hope reaches more of them to undo much of the damage done by TPUSA.

I think he gave hope to people of his generation that have met so many obstacles in their young lives. 10 years of tRump bullsh!t, CoVid, unaffordable housing, and low wages.

It's all good until you start applying for government jobs and it says bilingual preferred or people at your workplace don't speak english

I like zhoran but I can't help but notice how black people get lost in his multicultural/immigrant rhetoric

this is semantics but diversity, in and of itself leads to balkanazation especially if its codified, which is bad. to make it into lemonade it requires integration. i agree there needs to be a lingua franca

the other problem with diversity is that a lot of times you can have diversity and not one peep of a black person and you can have diversity prorams like AA that benefits non black people more than it does black people

so to me diversity is not some sacred cow that needs to be protected at all costs

Balkanization is caused when there is broad material deprivation, so people retreat to their more animalistic instincts. A healthy society not only tolerates diversity, it grows from it. A dying society is one in which there is no regenerative capacity because there are no new ideas or people to remix and synthesize off of. Nature abhors homogeneity.

Right, I think there is something to be said for how the concept of "diversity" is b*stardized or coopted. For example, most corporate DEI programs were not genuinely in pursuit of actual diversity. I'm speaking to the platonic form of diversity, like is seen in the natural world, and is applicable to a civilization's population and culture.

so to me diversity is not some sacred cow that needs to be protected at all costs

Just like with inbreeding, a lack of civilizational diversity will lead to a whole host of unhealthy, negative externalities.

why are you against christian nationalism but turn a blind eye to islamism that doesn’t integrate?

I don't think we are disagreeing, but diversity can go both ways. For diversity to be a good thing there has to be a melting pot going on at the same time. People speaking a bunch of languages and not being able to communicate and being isolated into separate communities is not a melting pot. People coming to the us, live here for 20 years and cannot fill out a voting ballot or government forms in English is crazy. That's not the good side of diversity

Dude is bragging that NY has forms in 12 different languages, that is horrible

Look at Canada. A lot of people don't realize how close Canada was and is to breaking apart over language diversity, that's an example of what not to do in the US

how is local governments providing services and documents in multiple languages horrible? you do realize we're an international city right? even if all immigrants spoke English to a standard that you approve of, we still have international tourists that deal interact with our local government everyday for a variety of reasons. We got a government that at least have the ability interface with it's residents no matter their primary language and I suppose thats a strength if other local governments are too inept to see the social and economic benefits in doing so.

when did NYC get too much diversity then? what year or decade?

 

[theworldismine13]

when did NYC get too much diversity then? what year or decade?

Whenever it became possible to live, work, vote and get government benefits without speaking English
