Split New York City Mayoral Race

[pood]

Could it be that NY has large uzbek emigrant population?

There might be. Sayfullo Saipov, a Diversity Immigrant Visa program recipient who drove his "truck of peace" into people in NYC murdering 8, is Uzbek.

But this seems to be a more general Muslim custom.

[Apologies for the accursed vertical video]

“A more general Muslim custom.”

There are nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world. They all drive trucks into people?

I mean, really, you are pathetic.

 

[pood]

Here are what seem to be some white Anglo-Christian American customs: Displacing and exterminating natives to take their land, enslaving dark-skinned people, fighting endless wars, bombing the fuck out of others to keep the financial elites in gravy. I don’t think the Muslims can compete with that. They’re just pikers.

I used to go to a Fish and Chip shop in Leicester that was called "Halal Fish and Chips". I always wondered what the correct procedure was for the ritual slaughter of a potato, but never dared ask.

FYI, it's the oil they fry the chips in.

Of course not! To won a national election in this ignorant racist commie-hating country, we have to appeal to the commie-haters. Yes, there are DemSocs winning elections. They are NOT winning in the many districts where ignorant commie-haters are a majority

I disagree. It's more that to win in this country of people who feel listless and unheard and un-led and unentertained, making people feel directed, heard, lead, and entertained will win an election... It doesn't matter whether that leadership is conservative or "liberal".

That is exactly what I heard about Mamdani's campaign, that his entire focus was on helping people get by better and improving their lives. It was his entire focus.

I have near zero interest in the NYC mayoral election race.
But I've gotta say,
If the worst things Derec can come up with are a vague dismissal of a vague concept like "global intifada" and eating rice with his hands, and overblown campaign promises, Mandani is probably an excellent choice.

Trump administration raises possibility of stripping Mamdani of US citizenship

Move comes after rightwing Republican accuses New York City mayoral candidate of concealing support for ‘terrorism’

So here’s the Trump solution. Just strip him of his citizenship. Easy!

He should position himself and his office so that if he gets deported, someone even more objectionable to the MAGAts ends up in office

Except this produces a candidate that doesn't work in the general.

Says who? Does it mean YOU won't vote for them? Does it mean Higgins or Swammer or Whoever else won't?

And an "informed decision" not to vote is an oxymoron

You can make this claim, but the other thing has been tried all my life, and until the gerontocracy falls, maybe we need to try other stuff, ya?

We tried it your way and now we have Trump because the Dems shit their spines out some time in the 80's.

So you suggest jumping from the frying pan to the fire.

This provides no market incentive to build tall. Thus people will not build tall, you'll get LA type sprawls or worse.

Tall doesn't need to be that tall, and the incentives to do so don't need to come from the market; rather they shouldn't, because like healthcare and other services, some things the market only ruins.

The taller a building the more expensive per square foot. Thus you only see tall buildings where land value makes that economic. If you take that land value away nobody builds up, the city sprawls and you spend a lot more on roads, transit etc.

You raise taxes, it's passed along to the consumer and prices go up.

Bullshit.

It depends on who and what you tax, and to what extent, and how the laws are written.

We know damn well that the sales tax laws were written in the US, for example, to prevent the obviousness of the cost of taxes, to make it not seem like the company gouging even more.

Not one bit a rebuttal.

Why do you keep claiming that moderates are Nazi? Channeling Barbos??! I disagree with some of Zohran ideas. How does that make me a Nazi?

I would never vote for crooked Cuomo if I lived in NY City, and I would vote for a progressive even if I didn't agree with all of their positions. I usually vote in the primaries for the candidate I think can beat the Republican candidate. Luckily, I don't live in NYC.

I wasn't a big fan of Warnock, but after reading all the data on the candidates, I voted for him in the primaries because I believed he was the only Democrat who could win in Georgia. As an atheist, It was hard voting for a pastor and I was disappointed when he didn't even give up his work as a pastor after he was elected, but considering the alternative, I had no problem voting for him in the general. We will never get everything we want and calling people Nazis because they aren't as progressive as you is not based on reality.

I'll call people "Nazis" who seek to prioritize "trains running on time" over "keeping those trains from shipping people off".

That doesn't make me extremist, because *Nazis are exactly the people who prefer the trains running on time*.

It is absolutely based on reality, because we have a demonstrated world war, against Nazis, wherein their power arose from a lack of cultural zeal to choose "keeping those trains from shipping people to camps" over "trains running on time.

Germany took reasonable measures to identify and disempower such movements since, but we sit here in America letting it happen here.

Until people realize their priorities are messed the hell up, that their priorities are empowering Nazis, what would you have me do?

Over a hundred Democrats in Congress sided against impeachment proceedings FFS.

What you are missing is that by not voting you're saying late trains and trains shipping people off are equally bad.

What you are missing is that he doesn’t live in NYC and would vote for a progressive he didn’t always agree with over a non-progressive.

And that the German people could congratulate themselves for trains running on time while completely ignoring that trains were taking people to death camps.

Unfortunately we are only half a step away from that now in the US.

Sure, but that's not as funny as an Imam trying to cut a potato's throat so it bleeds out.

Why are you culture shaming?

 

[Derec]

“A more general Muslim custom.”

The "more general Muslim custom" was referring to the custom of eating rice with one's bare hands, as seen in the "right for scoop, left for the poop" video. That was in response to barbos suggesting that it was specifically an Uzbek custom.

There are nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world. They all drive trucks into people?

I never suggested they did. But a disproportionally large share of them do.

I mean, really, you are pathetic.

Your reading comprehension is what's pathetic, since you did not even recognize what I was replying to, and have assumed that my aside about Saipov was the custom I was talking about. Did you even watch the video?

It is mind-blowing you think that is an effective rebuttal.

Why are you culture shaming?

For one, not all cultures are equivalent. Shoveling rice into your maw with your bare hands is not necessary when utensils are widely available.

Also, I think he is cosplaying here. The video from which the rice eating was taken has him claiming that it was him growing up in a "third world country" that shaped his political beliefs on things like socialism, Islam, and "Palestine". Apologies for it being a FOX News clip, but this is the first video I found that had the actual clip of him talking while eating, rather than just have stills of him shoveling rice into his mouth.

However, Mamdani had a very privileged upbringing. He was living in NYC since he was 7, and attended the posh (and very expensive) Bank Street School for Children. He then went to attend Bowdoin College, also a posh and expensive institution. Btw, while there, he cofounded a chapter for "Students for Justice in Palestine", a rabidly anti-Israel group with ties to Hamas.

Btw, here is another Mamdani clip, where he talks about "seizing the means of production" among other Marxist buzz words:

He is yet another limousine socialist.

Such pathetic, bigoted mewling. Why does it bother you if he eats with his hands?

He was born in Kampala, Uganda, and spent a year in Cape Town before moving to the U.S.

I have a friend who is a refugee from Liberia. She came over to our place and made us a traditional African dinner — which we ate with our hands, because she wanted to do it authentically.

Get a life.

 

[pood]

Oh, I see. You meant the earring with hands, not the truck bombing.

Why does eating with hands bother you? I am given to understand it is traditional in many African countries. And … so???
