Mamdani

New York City just did it again

The same city that taxed the rich, chased out the middle class, and then complained about rent being too high has now decided to double down — electing 34-year-old socialist assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor.

If you’re wondering whether this is a prank, it’s not. This is what happens when TikTok trends become campaign platforms.

Mamdani’s victory speech sounded like something out of a college activism rally that never ended. He quoted socialist labor icon Eugene Debs, the same guy who ran for president from prison a century ago, and declared that the “working hands of New York” now hold power. That’s a nice image — but one suspects those hands will be reaching for the exit button once the tax bills arrive.

And after his victory speech, if he thinks he will get one dime of federal money from Trump, he should pray to Allah.
