Please, Zohran, make some noise about your support for unions. My daughter's union was out supporting Cuomo as a union loyalist from way back. Of course I will tell her of your union endorsements, but they need to hear more from you. Thanks so much being the candidate that New Yorkers deserve.

Wow! So refreshing! This actually was my introduction to Zohran Mamdani. I’m impressed and found my heart cheering for his every spot on response to Mehdi’s questions. Respect.

Fingers crossed for Mamdani’s campaign - if I were a New Yorker, he would have my vote. I think it is crazy to choose Cuomo when you could have Mamdani!

The fear-mongering over Zohran’s policies being unrealistic or dangerous falls flat when you consider the facts. City, state, and even federal elected officials across all levels are endorsing him specifically because of his bold, working-class-first policies. These aren’t fringe ideas, they’re backed by experienced lawmakers who know that public investment in people strengthens communities, not weakens them. The real question is, why are we still letting billionaire backed narratives dictate what's "affordable," when what’s actually unaffordable is the status quo?

Ask yourselves? Why did he pardon the insurrectionists? Who are these masked men and women breaking windshields and kidnapping people in unmarked cars and disappearing them? Willingly attacking democratic politicians? Mayor, US Representative, US Senator, State Comptroller? Calling people into citizenship or residency interviews to arrest them? And why is the country governed by presidential decree and social media text? Who actually writes these?! Did he actually win the election?

If ICE Agents were members of a gang or part of organized crime ( good description of them, actually) we wound be going to Judges for warrants for their arrest for violation of RICO laws that forbind groups organiing to intimidate, harm and harrass others as a group. RICO laws are to stop such behavior, even by government agencies, for actions like this in our communities. We need names and addresses of ICE agents and Judges to issue Bench Warrants for their arrest. My guess is that these guys and gals currently have MANY warrants for their arrest within our justice system. Many will quit ICE once this starts and other will be held accountable for violence, harrassment and kidnapping during their coordinated dangerous and illegal activity. The thing "wrong " about six people in masks surrounding a lone woman on the sidewalk (and then bringing her anywhere) is THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW, under RICO regulations. Let's enforce our laws.

DHS should be dismantled. It was an overreaction by the Bush administration and congress, as was the Patriot Act. They should be gone.

Let's go NYC! Show America what we missed out on when we pissed away our chance to have Bernie Sanders as President. In a sense, the country picked Andrew Cuomo over Zohran M-A-M-D-A-N-I back in 2016, *and look where that got us!*

Democrats allowed the right-wing demonization of trans people by not standing up for a minority that has been historically dehumanized, abused, assaulted, and killed. Dems didn’t focus on trans people. The Fascist-Republicans are the ones that talked about trans people all the time, non-stop, in every conversation. They were obsessed because they wanted a target to focus their hate on. Remember how the Nazis characterized Jews in WWII. Trans people and Mexicans are the Jews for the Fascist-Republicans.
