"In a paragraph, let’s review: A machine politician, former governor and scion of a political dynasty lost to a 33-year-old Muslim, immigrant, and socialist who is unapologetically critical of Israel. The political ruling class and the news media assumed Andrew Cuomo, but more than that, they dismissed the people’s choice, assembling their pipe dream on the it’s-the-party-elder’s-turn proposition.

I didn’t expect Mamdani to win. I thought the Party machinery was unbeatable. I was wrong. I’ve learned some mind-bending lessons.

  • Money Doesn’t Decide.
  • Young People Do Vote.
  • Saying Controversial Things is Okay "

Israel is a rogue state, led by a criminal, and it can go fuck itself. And it has nothing to do with anyone’s religion, and I have nothing against Jews, and I’m half Jewish.

You’re literally hitler if you don’t praise Isreal and the genocide of Palestinian people.

/s for the dense folks.

I’m half-Jewish Hitler; got it. Makes perfect sense.

Makes perfect sense for Bibi, he'd call you a traitor of the religion.

I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.
