Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, but even his own party is running scared. The 33-year-old socialist has Democrats so worried they won’t even endorse their own nominee. This tells you everything you need to know about how far left this guy really is.
Mamdani calls himself a democratic socialist and wants to destroy New York’s economy with his crazy ideas. He wants a 30 dollar minimum wage that would kill small businesses overnight. He also wants to freeze rents and have the government run grocery stores like some communist country.
The business world is panicking because they know Mamdani would be a disaster for jobs and growth. Real estate leaders are terrified of his rent control schemes that always backfire and hurt regular people. Even Wall Street Democrats who usually back any candidate with a D next to their name are staying quiet this time.
What’s really scary is Mamdani’s hatred for our ally Israel and support for terrorists. He promised to arrest Israel’s leader if he visits New York City. This antisemitic extremist wants to punish the only democracy in the Middle East while coddling Hamas supporters.
Mamdani beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the primary by fooling voters with his smooth talk about helping working families. But his real plan is to tax successful people into leaving the city forever. New York already has the highest taxes in America and this socialist wants to make it worse.
Even Democratic party bosses know Mamdani is too extreme to win a general election. They’re worried he’ll drive away moderate voters who still care about law and order. Smart Democrats understand that socialist policies have failed everywhere they’ve been tried.
The fact that Democrats won’t rally behind their own nominee shows how radical Mamdani really is. When your own party thinks you’re too far left, that should be a huge warning sign for voters. New Yorkers deserve better than a socialist who hates business and supports America’s enemies.
If Mamdani wins in November, New York City will become the next San Francisco or Seattle. Businesses will flee, crime will rise, and working families will suffer under his failed socialist policies. Real New Yorkers need to wake up and stop this radical before he destroys the greatest city in America.
