There is a genuine opportunity to bring New Yorkers together if Elise Stefanik truly wants to be seen as a uniter rather than a divider. By extending her support to Andrew Cuomo, she could demonstrate the kind of pragmatic leadership that bridges divides and focuses on the bigger picture. New York City cannot afford to drift further down a socialist path, a direction that Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani appears eager to pursue. What the city needs now is practical, steady leadership that prioritizes stability, growth, and unity over ideology. Unfortunately, Curtis Sliwa does not have the broad support needed to win. By staying in the race, he risks splitting the vote and effectively ensuring Assemblymember Mamdani's victory. Backing Cuomo is a bold and unifying move that signals collaboration, strength, and a genuine commitment to New York's future.

This is beyond absurd. WOW ! This is scary.

In case anyone forgot who the Activist Curtis Sliwa : It is unclear when or how Activist Curtis Sliwa began aligning himself with Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. What is increasingly evident, however, is that Sliwa appears unwilling to set aside his personal ambition for power to unite against the growing influence of communism in New York City. Based on his recent remarks, he seems more interested in mocking New Yorkers who express legitimate concerns about the rise of socialism than in addressing their fears. Sliwa's actions suggest that he wants New York City to depend on him and his so-called "vigilante" groups, organizations that, for decades, have been criticized for racially profiling residents. Rather than acting as a unifier, he is quietly aiding Assemblymember Mamdani by staying in the race, despite knowing he cannot win. In doing so, he risks ensuring Republican victories in other parts of the country while allowing Mamdani to become the new face of far-left politics in NYC, a figure people may feel too intimidated to criticize for fear of being "canceled.”

Does Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani have the temperament to be a mayor for all people? Does he truly understand his constituents' needs? It appears that he does not. Assemblymember Mamdani seems unable to look beyond his commitments to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), prioritizing their agenda over the real needs of everyday New Yorkers. His record and rhetoric make it clear where his loyalty lies and unfortunately, it is not with the people of New York City. He has consistently shown an inability to set aside ideological loyalties and to recognize that New Yorkers come from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds that deserve understanding and respect. Mamdani's approach to leadership is concerning. He seems to say whatever voters want to hear, even refusing to denounce the intifada when given the chance. His actions reveal little genuine interest in leading New York City beyond winning an election. If he were genuinely committed to improving the lives of New Yorkers, why has he not advanced any of his major proposals before now? Why does it not appear on key platforms or engage openly with the broader community? His lack of engagement with the broader community is a clear sign of his disconnect from the people he claims to represent. Instead of offering bold and realistic solutions to the challenges facing our city's public safety, affordability, and opportunity, Mamdani continues to deflect blame and make excuses. New York City deserves leadership grounded in results, responsibility, and integrity —not ideology, division, or empty promises. His lack of accountability is frustrating and does not bode well for our city's future. He is telling voters where he stands. He does not support the LGBTQIA community. It is against his religion.

The more I research Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, the more questions I have; since 2021, what legislation has he helped advance to support everyday NYC residents? Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani wants to legalize prostitution. In which neighborhood does he want this type of "work" to occur? He mentions the atrocities in Gaza, but has yet to condemn the atrocities of the terrorist group that harasses and kills Christians in Nigeria. ISIS and ISWAP (West Africa), and Boko Haram terroist grouped are linked to each other and Quatar. He uses a campaign line stating that Amazon does not pay NYC enough, while fully knowing that such disclosure is illegal, akin to someone coming to a private citizen and asking for their tax return in the city. (New York law strictly protects taxpayer confidentiality. State officials are bound by Tax Law § 202 and NYC officials by Admin. Code § 11-2115; individual corporate tax return details generally cannot be disclosed absent specific legal authority.) Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is really good at following directions, even former Mayor De Blasio said he is teachable, but at whose expense? The timing overlaps in 2012; these are separate events: one cultural (film funding from Qatar), and that same year, an "uncle" gifted him a land near Victoria Falls (this does not pass the sniff test).

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani Today the NYPD deployed the Strategic Response Group (SRG) to harass + arrest striking @amazonlabor workers. As Mayor, I will disband the SRG, which has cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements + brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights. https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/ 3:48 PM · Dec 19, 2024 · 1,555 Views There's a new version of this post.

https://lizpeek.com/news/socialist-nyc-mayoral-candidate-mamdani-pledges-100m-in-taxpayer-funds-for-immigrant-legal-aid/ Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani claims he does not want to decriminalize certain aspects of prostitution. However, he is also calling for a rent freeze, something that would eventually cause rents to skyrocket and jeopardize building maintenance across NYC. When he finally faced tough questions, it took repeated attempts to get an honest answer. The canceled town hall should be moved from ABC to FOX News, with Rosanna as the moderator to ensure these pressing concerns are addressed among all candidates.

I think we should agree to disagree. Many people have escaped socialism and now call America home. Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is the new face of Karl Marx's socialism, only instead of delivering oppression with a stern face, he presents it with a smile, disguising it under the label of "democratic socialist.” If this brand of "democratic socialism" is so promising, why have not Democrats across the country embraced it? Yes, the cost of living is too high, but the solution is not to legalize prostitution, provide free bus services, or open free grocery stores without a clear plan to pay for them. Who will fund these unrealistic proposals? How high do New Yorker City voters want property taxes to climb? And if prostitution is legal, in what neighborhoods will it take root: Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, or Manhattan? We need clear, transparent plans, not just ambitious ideas. Even Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani has said, "Trust activist Curtis Sliwa, he is honest.” Yet it is clear that Curtis Sliwa cares more about his pride and personal ambition than about joining forces to defeat Mamdani.

I disagree with the phrase "scaring the bejesus.” The connotation of socialism is not a word that should be used lightly. It should frighten anyone who understands its connection to Karl Marx's ideology, and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani has not shied away from calling himself a socialist. In fact, he seems emboldened by the word "socialism.” However, the reality is far from the idealistic picture painted by some. In countries like Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Russia, to name a few, socialism has led to mass exodus and the loss of fundamental freedoms. People had to flee for their lives and start anew in America. We, the people, should heed these cautionary tales and learn from the mistakes of these failed countries. Socialism is not a word to be taken lightly; it carries with it grave consequences. That is why Republicans need to publicly speak out and join forces with former Governor Andrew Cuomo for a unity ticket, a ticket based on what America can be. Former Governor Cuomo needs to address the needs of everyday NYC voters and explain how he plans to pay for his proposals. At every moment, he should challenge the Assemblymember's plan, which is to legalize prostitution throughout the neighborhoods in NYC, free bus, increase in property tax, how pay checks will be less because the free grocery stores in NYC, and is a clear manifestation of socialism, expose how Mamdani is in a position to deliver but has done nothing, and demand clarity on his vision for solving NYC's affordability crisis. Does activist Curtis Sliwa care that NYC could move toward communism? Who is he paying the money back to?

No, prostitution is not good for life in any part of the city because it harms the quality of life. Instead of focusing on building the next generation of AI entrepreneurs and growing businesses in New York, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is calling to legalize prostitution. Instead of presenting a real plan or explaining how he will pay for these radical ideas, such as free transit, a rent freeze, and free grocery stores, he wants to increase property taxes, while failing to address how to improve the education system so that NYC kids can compete on a global level. NYC cannot afford to fail, because real New Yorkers do not have a "Plan B" or a second home to escape to, unlike Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.

Insightful.

If Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor, the quality of life in NYC will suffer because he is pushing to eliminate misdemeanor offenses and decriminalize prostitution. Former Governor Cuomo needs to be more aggressive and assertive if he wants a real chance to win the election. He does not seem hungry enough. His campaign should directly challenge Mamdani's proposals in ads and clearly explain what he will do to help NYC through a press conference. Remember, polls do not win elections, people do.

Every child is the future of this country. They deserve to go to school in a safe environment, free of alcohol, drugs, and prostitution, so that they can have a healthy and productive childhood. Let us put political opinions aside; no neighborhood should be exposed to prostitution. Would you want prostitution in your neighborhood? That is why, when Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani attempted to exploit the system to his advantage by checking off that he is African American, it raises serious concerns. How can NYC trust that he will not exploit the vote and make false campaign promises? And how does he plan on paying for all of these so-called "free" promises?

In most areas, including business districts, people and families reside in NYC. The way housing is structured, there is no clear area designated only for business. Within a 5–10 mile radius, there is almost always a neighborhood with schools and parks. Which neighborhood in NYC can truly accommodate this type of business? That is why, when Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani proposes taxing only specific zip codes and incomes, the reality is that it would raise property taxes across NYC and increase city taxes for working families to fund free transit, free grocery stores, and affordable housing. With current Mayor Eric Adams and activist Curtis Sliwa staying in the race, this only strengthens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's vision to tax the residents of NYC. Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's plan to legalize prostitution would also impact neighborhoods where families live, where people cannot simply afford to move away. The question all NYC voters must ask themselves is: Do you want legalized prostitution in your neighborhood? The question NYC residents must also ask is: Do they want a Mayor Zohran Mamdani who will increase taxes? And if former Governor Cuomo wants to be the mayoral candidate against Assemblymember Mamdani, why is he not addressing the affordability crisis in NYC? It is not enough to say that Mamdani's plan "does not make sense" or to label it socialism and communism. What is Cuomo's plan? How can people afford to stay in NYC? How will he generate enough revenue to help with the cost of living, safety, and quality-of-life challenges facing NYC residents? If the former Governor wants to be mayor, what is his plan? Why is he not doing borough tours in every borough to speak directly to the people? It is the people who will decide, not the polls.
