speaking of which, he has such a cool name. both first and last.
when people chanted his name before his victory speech it was like a scene from a movie. kudos to Tish James for hyping people up like crazy. played like a transcript:
"They said he doesn't have the right name!"
BOOOO
"Well now they all know his goddamn name!"
crowd erupts, mics explode
MAM-DA-NI! MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
... repeat
where do I sign up for his army?
The party of pre-teen adults is so pissed
"What is best in life Zohran?"
crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their news readers
It’s really only good in the original Klingon.
Ray. When someone asks you if you're a god — say yes!
Yes, yes! Your rage only makes him stronger! >:D
You don't mess with the Zohran.
Zohran will Fuck You Up in capital letters.
He needs this on his office door. It'd really set the tone for meetings.
Uh yes hi, I have a 10:30 with Mr. Destroyer.
Me: Hi, Mr. Zohran, it's a pleasure. Should I assume the position?
Him: What position?
Fuck yes. That's metal as hell.
Even his first name sounds badass with the rest of the title the've given him.
Trump wrecked the Republican Party that turned out great for them. I have been waiting for somebody to wreck this party.
FR and given Republican attraction to strong and religious male leaders, Mamdani might actually sweep the generals.
If ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER actually destroys the GOP, I won't complain. If he needs to stomp the current DEMs into the ground for that, well, that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
I would celebrate if he destroys the DNC as well. Burn it all down and start from scratch.
Nah, we just need a purge. Mumdani is the new spiritual leader of the party, the rank and file are signalling a pivot, and the leadership are some of the most hated people in America
I think the biggest threat is someone like Gabe Newson managing to take the reigns as a "centrist".
But the old guard is pretty much done for. There's way too much public demand for fighters, and the current leadership are collaborators
That's a sacrifice I'm likely to encourage!
Seriously!
This guy sounds so fucking METAL!
I like how the Republicans are painting him as a Communist, when they are the ones supporting Communist regimes. From what i heard from him, he's a Democratic socialist, that's pretty much the standard here in Europe. good on NY. If you think about it, not even the Millionaires want to live in the middle of desperate poor people... some has to be given back to society.
On top of that, Mamdani''s policies stimulate the NY economy, because if people have money, they spend more.
Republicans, on the other hand, drive people into poverty, which slows down spending and cripples the economy.
I'm super conservative and don't live in NYC but am really enjoying this election result.
Serious question, if you are super conservative why are you enjoying it?
Because Democrats are dealing with someone that doesn't fit their mold. He's a product of their policies and philosophy but doesn't walk the party line. Meanwhile mainstream Conservatives are making up reasons for why they are so upset that a super liberal city elected a super liberal which should be expected. The reality is they are dancing around the fact that he's not submissive to the Israel lobby and that makes them freak out. He's liberal sure but he's a liberal that's not going to be kissing a wall anytime soon.
Liberals are center-right. Anti-regulation, anti-guardrails, anti-equity, anti-accountability, etc. Like conservatives, they are defined by all the things they are against. Mamdani is thankfully not liberal, which is precisely why he has voters excited while liberals and conservatives are having meltdowns.
Super conservatives hate NYC, so he probably thinks destroying it is a good thing.
Projection maybe? NYC is already a corrupt shit hole. There's not much left to destroy. I've lived there and it sucks. You literally get black gunk in your nose from the poor air quality. You can never see the stars. Everyone there is high on copium thinking just because they ride a subway to work they are saving the world. In reality NY is a big pile of trash. Perhaps the most unnatural living conditions of any "city" I've ever visited. Furthermore a Muslim with no love for Israel won the primary. It's going to be wild to see how that goes. More Jews live in NYC than Tel Aviv.
