Zohran Mamdani (33) was born in Uganda, to Indian parents. Move to Cape Town when he was 5. His mother is a filmmaker (1991) film Mississippi Masala, starring Denzel Washington and 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe) and his father is an academic at Columbia, who studies colonialism, was expelled from Uganda under the dictator Idi Amin. He's from Queens, he's in the State Assembly. Moved to NYC when he was 7. Went to Bronx Science, then Bowdoin College in Maine with a bachelors in African studies. Mamdani worked as a prevention counselor and cricketer, and attempted a career in hip hop (video). He worked on a few political campaigns and then ran himself. His district includes Astoria and Long Island City.
The amount of weird stuff coming out is crazy, lots of fairly racist, islamophobia and against democratic socialist nonsense. Trump is against him, so that's the biggest endorsement you can give. To me, it makes people look really bad.
Cuomo is going 3rd party, along with Adams, so it's going to be Adams, Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa and our man Zohran Mamdani. To me, anyone but Zohran Mamdani is a wasted vote. Zohran Mamdani will win in a landslide. There was unprecedented young voter turnout, hopefully that amazing trend continues.
Cuomo and Adams are crony capitalism, which we're tired of. Silwa is wacky vigilanti pretending to be law and order candidate, running for the attention, knows he can't win. Actually if the DINOs who don't like Zohran Mamdani voted for him, he could get a little closer, but I'm pretty sure those 3 split their votes. And then there's the candidate for the people, who is savy and wise beyond his years and hopefully turns out to be a good leader, and can fight the negative press against him. De Blasio was slammed by the press and cast as bad, and he's one of the best mayors we've had in a long time.
