Ffs. That’s not the case.
If you think someone saying “he doesn’t have a plan” is slander, you might want to stay the hell away from politics.
This wasn’t FPTP, it’s NYC and yes there’s a Jewish component to the race, and yeah he’s young and inexperienced. All of those are valid, legitimate concerns regarding a political election.
Unfortunately for them, the primary is over and they already lost. So no, they don’t have to blindly believe Mamdani is going to win in a lanslide, but they should at least act like it. I think we’re looking at a mayoral race through a presidential-election lens.
Slander though? No.
Also it would be libel, not slander anyways.
