The Fruits of Immigration for New York
It's amazing to me less than 25 years after 9/11, the people of New York are poised to elect a guy who pals around with a left wing influencer who has declared America deserved 9/11 and campaigns with a rabidly anti-American cleric who was an undicited co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing and testified as a charachter witness for the terrorists who were charged.
Then you see this poll.
In a rematch of the Democratic Primary, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani leads Former Governor Andrew Cuomo by 43% to 32%, an 11% margin. Republican Curtis Sliwa stands in a distant third place, at 19% of the vote.
The most groundbreaking results of this poll are found in the cross-tabs. Among American-born New Yorkers, Cuomo leads by a healthy margin, with Mamdani only winning 31% of the vote.
Among foreign-born New Yorkers, Mamdani earns an extraordinary 62% of the vote, far outpacing Cuomo and Sliwa.

Oh.. Estimates are that only about a 1/4 of current New Yorkers were in New York on 9/11. 9/11 simply isn't relevant to the majority of current New Yorkers, it's something that happened to people in another country.
Hard to create a functioning republic when there's no continuity.
hard to create a shred of credibility with an article when the poorly photo shopped picture that accompanies it shows one of the subjects standing in front of the other subject, while his arm is also back around behind the shoulder of the same subject ...
So much for the "Never Forget" mindset.
You make it sound like Mamdani wouldnt be unhappy if there was another 9-11.
Outrageous.
Outrageous is palling around with terrorist supporters and 9/11 cheerleaders.
It would be like running for mayor in 1970 by campaigning with actual Nazi supporters. But I guess that's where the people who vote in New York are now.
I see you do not dispute my characterization of your article.
Try again. You misused the word outrageous.
Whether Mamdani and friends would be happy about another 9-11 is an open question
Keep doubling down while you do not deny you imply Mamdani would not be unhappy if there was another 9-11.
I can see Mamdani chanting from the river to the sea, but he will be talking about the Hudson.
How could that possibly be an open question?
Amazing in a good way or a bad way? Considering the way Muslims, as a group, were discriminated against by the general public after 9/11, I’d say it’s a good thing.
If it’s bad, what do you think he’s going to do? Blow up a building? Do you think everything in New York should be defined by some kind of righteous vengeance for 9/11 in perpetuity?
Yeah, they were the real victims of 9/11.
I’d say it’s a good thing.
I'm not surprised the party of Jay Jones, graham platner etc. would celebrate the election of a man who campaigns with someone who publicly proclaims America deserved 9/11. It's completely on brand.
Not at all what I said. Why do you have to respond with shit like that?
Clearly, most actual New Yorkers are more concerned with everyday issues that affect them personally than they are about being perpetually angry at all Muslims for 9/11. You know, at some point, most of us got over being mad at all Japanese and Germans, too.
I'm worried they will accidentally skewer each other.

A salient point.
First how many are there?
According to copilot: As of 2024 , approximately 38% of the resident population in New York City is foreign-born , which translates to nearly 3.2 million residents born outside the U.S. This figure represents a significant portion of the city's population, highlighting the diverse immigrant community in New York City.
That would surely influence an election if they were all voters. And of course, a negative influence if those people had not assimilated into American culture and had some divergent views to those of ordinary Americans.
How many of them legal immigrants?
It seems that we have a few states which aren't waiting around for illegal aliens achieving "amnesty" and becoming citizens. For instance, the state of Minnesota recently passed a law allowing everyone getting a driver's license to automatically be registered to vote. The state elections director admitted that it had enabled illegal migrants to vote.

And then there are the NYC progressives. Add it all together and one can see how an antisemite Socialist like Mamdani can be elected mayor of New York City.
