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.

We can debate who is most affected by this legislation and argue over the statistics. However, the most critical question we must ask ourselves is this: Are we okay with a society that promotes sex work, where it could happen anywhere, at any time? Are we okay with a society that turns a blind eye to the exploitation of people within our communities? Are we okay with children having to walk by and witness this on their way to and from school? Is it acceptable that anyone should be exposed to this? Most people do not support exploitation, and no one wants this in their neighborhood. Yet Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani has given his full support to prostitution in our civil society. With Mayor Eric Adams and activist Curtis Sliwa remaining in the race, their determination to stay in the race only strengthens Mamdani's position. The real question New Yorkers must ask is this: Do they want a Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a mayor under whom prostitution could become the law of the land? If Mayor Eric Adams and activist Curtis Sliwa truly care about the future of New York City, they must put aside personal ambition and unite for the greater good. The time has come for them to step aside so that New Yorkers can rally behind one strong candidate to defeat Mamdani.

It is unbelievable that Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's supporters are unaware of what he truly stands for. He has openly backed efforts to decriminalize prostitution. He is even listed as a co-sponsor of Cecilia's Law in the State Assembly, a bill named after a sex worker who was a victim of violence, which would remove criminal penalties from sex workers, clients, and managers. In addition, the New York Assembly Bill A00849 also seeks to decriminalize certain prostitution offenses, such as solicitation and loitering for the purpose of prostitution. This is deeply concerning. It is outrageous that Mamdani believes prostitution should be acceptable anywhere in America, potentially disrupting the social fabric of New York City. With Mayor Eric Adams and Activist Curtis Sliwa remaining in the race, their divided approach only strengthens Mamdani's position. The real question New Yorkers must ask is: Do they want a Mayor Zohran Mamdani?

My goal and intention have never been to gaslight anyone. Your perception is not my reality, nor is it my intention. I was stating clear facts and presenting research to understand Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's ideology better. His views on wealth redistribution and social welfare echo elements of Karl Marx's communism. This appears to be his vision: to transform New York City into a city that resembles a communist city within America, based on his proposed policies and public statements. I also question his judgment and empathy, as he has expressed sympathy toward a documented terrorist. How can someone effectively lead any city in America while empathizing with individuals who have committed acts of terror? I find myself agreeing with President Trump that there are too many candidates in this election. The field must be narrowed to those who can truly win. Activist Curtis Sliwa and current Mayor Eric Adams must set aside their personal ambitions for power and unite to defeat the rise of communism in NYC. Their unity can create a platform that addresses the needs of every New Yorker, prioritizing safety, affordability, and cleanliness, and encourage companies to move to NYC. This unity is crucial for the future of NYC.

My comments were never an attempt to gaslight anyone. Gaslighting means manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity or reasoning, and that is not what I am doing. My goal is to highlight the stark contrast between Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's lofty promises and his actual lack of meaningful results for the people of New York City. Instead of building his own record, he has often aligned himself with the achievements of other Assembly members and elected officials, while remaining largely unavailable to the very community he represents. Moreover, his platform includes proposals such as "free" buses and "free" grocery stores, as well as defunding the police, which may sound appealing but are unrealistic and potentially harmful. These promises create false hope without offering sustainable solutions for NYC residents. New Yorkers need solutions that can stand the test of time, not just sound good on paper or amount to false promises. I never imagined I would find myself agreeing with anything said by Trump or his supporters, but at least they can sometimes look beyond party lines to prioritize what is best for New York City. Despite its challenges, NYC remains one of the greatest cities in the world, and it deserves real leadership, not empty promises. This proves one thing: we can unite and defeat Assemblymember and Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Right now, New Yorkers must rally behind a candidate with a real chance to win and lead effectively. Mayor Eric Adams is polling too low to remain a candidate, and activist Curtis Sliwa risks becoming a spoiler. A split vote would only pave the way for Mamdani to win, which would not serve the best interests of NYC. Voters must act strategically, set aside divisions, and unite to ensure the best leadership for our city.

There was no attempt to gaslight anyone. The real issue is the lack of journalistic ethics and integrity. Instead of reporting the news, asking hard-pressing questions, or clarifying positions in real time, journalists are often prevented or unwilling to do so. Too often, they choose to write books months or even years later about the problem, rather than addressing it when it matters most. For example, a breakdown on Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's position 1- Not one journalist is asking about his understanding of the FRESH program. He spent almost five years as an Assemblymember and does not know the name of the program or how it is funded. 2- Not one journalist is asking how he will pay for the "free bus ride" proposal? Who is paying? Will the tax go up? 3- I can not believe I find myself agreeing with Trump (any Trump) , but New York City truly deserves common sense. It is time for Mayor Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa to step aside. Only then can NYC have a real fighting chance.

I am disappointed that you do not think people in NYC deserve real investments in infrastructure, an improved subway system, safer highways, better-maintained streets, and genuinely affordable housing. Instead, Mamdani's Marxist-communist plan threatens to take away these necessities. Every American deserves this opportunity, but I am speaking specifically about the NYC election. It is disheartening to see politicians like Mayor Eric Adams and community activist Curtis Sliwa prioritize their own ambitions over the well-being of NYC. They need to step aside and give New Yorkers a chance to thrive.

Whose job is it to report the news? What happened to journalistic ethics? How can anyone make an informed decision when they're only being presented with a selective angle on a politician, while the truth about what Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani actually stands for is ignored? He cites the Oregon study to justify defunding the police, yet the people of Oregon themselves have called it a massive failure. What Oregon is now facing. His new response HIS REAL POSITION Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's does not value the NYPD

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously said, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” What happens to the working class in NYC under Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's socialist platform? What happens to elderly pensions will determine whether seniors will genuinely be able to age in place, or will they be left behind? A question no one seems to ask: why has Mamdani never created any meaningful legislation to address these issues, potentially leading to dire consequences?

Let us not ignore the real issues facing everyday people in NYC. The problem lies in the hypocrisy of Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani promising things like "free" grocery stores, "free" housing, and even "free" transportation, rather than putting forward serious plans to resolve the housing crisis or improve affordable transit. Instead of solving problems, Mamdani is neglecting the needs of the elderly population, especially in the very district he was elected to represent. What New Yorkers truly need are real investments in infrastructure, an improved subway system, safer highways, better-maintained streets, and genuinely affordable housing, rather than having their homes taken by the Mamdami's Marxist communism plan.

Hold on! Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani has openly proposed the abolition of private property, a concept directly from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. This is not a matter to be taken lightly. What is truly astonishing is the media's silence on this issue. Mamdani is forthright about his beliefs and values, and so should the people of this nation be. They have a right to the truth, and the media has a duty to ensure it.
