NYC BREHS: Mayor Mamdani is here.

[JamesJabdi]

Trump made his dollars from the corruption of New York in the 70s-90s....so he is used to "bad democrats" like Cuomo.

Status-quo Cuomo aint gonna do shyt but fill his and his friends pockets if he was elected.....Mamdani has literally united establishment democrats and republican against him just because he wants actual change.....the tide is shifting and they know it.

One of my low-key favorite parts of the Mamdani campaign is that he walks around the city. People who love cities walk around their cities, but few political candidates do so. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Ahhh-so yes Cuomo's nursing home policy of forcing them to accept covid patients was awful and killed a lot of people, but it seems that this particular person died more due to neglect and hydroxychloroquine type medical care.

Smart that he kept hitting up the BX because oddly enough we as a whole were holding out for Cuomo back in the primary. I don't think anyone really took him seriously at first but he's won a lot of people over with the stuff he's tryna deliver. If he screws up, then he screws up, but there's no point in running back Cuomo and Adams.

BIG Satmar Ahronim sect is endorsing Mamdani for mayor, two sources familiar confirmed.

Mamdani is expected to meet with Satmar leaders in Williamsburg this afternoon.

Here is more background forward.com/fast-forward...

very big — but not for reasons the political press has been hyping about Jewish fears of Mamdani - since that’s based on the idea that the way to pander to Jews is by shouting Netanyahu right or wrong, while the Samars are, and have always been, steadfastly anti-Zionist

Satmars not Samars

*Satmar Hasidim not Satmars (it's a descriptor, not a noun).

Read to the end. Not the best news. He is promising to let a sect continue to leave their children, mostly boys, uneducated.

To borrow the phrase, I regret to inform you, dear reader, that we’re goin to win

“Skepticism over antisemitism” man I need somebody to point out what Mamdani has said or done that’s antisemitic. Meanwhile Chuckles said this about the guy who denounced “shylocks” and hosted Nick Fuentes

they must be antisemites

I want ZM to win, so I'm mostly happy about this.

I am uneasy, though, about a religious leader having so much sway over a congregation.

Consider an evangelical Christian pastor endorsing Trump.

"Consider an evangelical Christian pastor endorsing Trump."

That's been happening for the last 15 years.

15/38
bjkeefe.bsky.social
Yes. And I hope you agree that that's a bad thing!

16/38
greym0user.bsky.social
Of course.

However,

"Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik. The odds will be even."

17/38
bjkeefe.bsky.social
Perhaps. But also, "two wrongs don't make a right."

I am actually not denying that this is current reality, and so if the other side is doing it, and we know we can do it, too, it would be stupid not to use the weapon.

But it's still worth speaking about ideals from time to time.

18/38
greym0user.bsky.social
I would argue that this isn't the time.

We are at war.

19/38
bjkeefe.bsky.social
Yup. I pretty much already agreed with this view in my previous reply to you.

Unless you're saying that this is not the time to speak of ideals? If so, I would disagree. It's always time to speak of ideals. They are what helps keep us on track, even when we have to go down in the gutter and fight.

Willing to bet that the price for this endorsement was allowing Satmar and maybe other sects to continue to duck the legal requirement for their children to receive meaningful secular education.
This results in adults unable to cope in secular society and binds them in dependency to their sect.

tomlevenson.bsky.social
I'm waiting for the Cuomo campaign to denounce the Satmars as antisemitic.

Why shouldn’t all schools meet state standards?

23/38
chadmasterclass.bsky.social
Well you need their votes, and their followers vote like a cult (because they are one).

So why solve the problem, that punishes thousands of innocent children, when you can keep winning elections?

24/38
timothykolk.bsky.social
I live in North Williamsburg. I live across the street from a school. I’m familiar with them.

25/38
chadmasterclass.bsky.social
And I was agreeing with you in a sarcastic way because I too am tired of politicians bowing to them

26/38
timothykolk.bsky.social
It’s even more galling because I don’t think he needs them to win.

27/38
jstrw.bsky.social
Mamdani embodies Jewish values; Cuomo embodies the opposite. It's only fearmongering and disinformation from propaganda outlets that have stopped Mamdani from running away with the Jewish vote.

28/38
whateverwhichwitch.bsky.social
Very very big.

29/38
chadmasterclass.bsky.social
"The issue of your education is something I will listen to your leaders,” Mamdani said"

This is a betrayal of all of the values of his supporters have fought for.

This is a cult. Their backwards schools need to end and they need to integrate into our society. Sexist, cruel, fanatical freaks.

30/38
wistfulwitness.bsky.social
WOW.

31/38
pppioe.bsky.social
I’m really hoping that Mamdani isn’t going to accept lower educational standards for the Yeshivas.

32/38

Show me one politician who's worked as hard to get to know, engage with, reach every aspect of a city. Show me one! And we're not talking about a small town somewhere, we're talking about NYC, about five boroughs, about day and night, about unions and non-union, about all of us. Just show me one.

33/38
ellik.bsky.social
And here I thought they’d vote Mamdani since Cuomo sexually abused Jewish women.

34/38

Why are there still sects in 21st century?

That is stunning. Good for them. I need to reconsider my disdain for all Hasidics.

Could someone explain to me why he's not popular with Jews in particular?
I'm not from the US but I haven't seen anything that would alienate an entire group.

Islamophobia.

I hit the mean streets of the Upper East Side to see how voters in Cuomo Country really feel about Trump, Musk, harassing women (allegedly), and how many politicians it takes to fail New York’s public schools.

My bro been living in NY about 6 years now. I’m really so happy for y’all. I hope he do what he say, but man y’all had some fukked up mayors. It’s a breath of fresh air and I love he not Christian. No disrespect to Christian’s at all, but we want people with different perspectives that go against the norm n some places and New York is one of those places. He got natural enemies just from his religion and ethnic identity. He gonna be more prone to championing the people because of that. I’m cool with every counter to this white Christian nationalist country .

 

[beenz]

Trump made his dollars from the corruption of New York in the 70s-90s....so he is used to "bad democrats" like Cuomo.

Status-quo Cuomo aint gonna do shyt but fill his and his friends pockets if he was elected.....Mamdani has literally united establishment democrats and republican against him just because he wants actual change.....the tide is shifting and they know it.

trump also used to be a democrat prior to his entry into politics.
