The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.
On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.
Don’t worry, I got full coverage of the cute little parades.
What precisely is your understanding of how mass political change happens? The populace is just supposed to go from zero to violent overthrow of the government overnight?
Protests are part of building movements and flexing long-disused political muscles. You don’t get change in a vacuum.
Don’t act like you suddenly found yourself in this situation overnight. This has been on the horizon for DECADES and literally the entire planet has been telling you so. In response, you stuck your fingers in your ears and renamed french fries.
You don’t get a pass for being unprepared with the correct tactics when everyone’s told you, accurately, for years, what was happening to your country.
You’re painting with an awfully big brush there. And also, if I may say so, doing some world-class victim blaming. I’m pretty sure the people with a boot on their neck for “DECADES” didn’t rename any french fries. And to your point about the long duration of this problem and apparent inaction about it: It’s really quite tough to 1. organize, and 2. fight capital when you’re experiencing economic precarity. The good news is that things may have finally reached a tipping point. So maybe those folks fighting the good fight here in the States could get some support from our friends to the north, eh?
It’s TOUGH? Oh, Lordy- had no idea! By all means, take a pass on fixing your country. I’m sure you have the best of intentions- nothing at all like the very good Germans in the 1930s who just felt that doing literally anything was “tough.”
Fuck off. Nothing at all indicates a “tipping point.” If anything, you’re worse off week after week. You’ll get support from the north when you do literally ANYTHING.
Okay, I’ll bite. What, in your esteemed opinion, qualifies as “ANYTHING”? I’m looking for some sage wisdom here from my magnanimous northern neighbors.
