Can Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo to become NYC mayor?

Zohran Mamdani has buzz and some momentum in New York City’s mayoral race. But can a 33-year-old democratic socialist beat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary? Mamdani picked up a key endorsement Thursday from U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It remains to be seen whether her support will help Mamdani overcome Cuomo, whose campaign juggernaut has won the backing of some of the cities biggest unions as he attempts a comeback from a sexual harassment scandal. The primary is on June 24.

No.

The answer is no.

I hate this fuckin world

Hey do you still hate the world?
A little less than I did before!

Zohran Mamdani is a progressive candidate similar to past Bernie Sanders. He is running for mayor in New York against big establishment figures such as Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran has a massive online hype campaign behind him right now.

I hope he gets in if he isn’t evil. My town’s mayor is fucking evil and its obvious as soon as he’s off camera. Our guy is especially good at tricking the elderly into voting for him then worsening their living conditions every time.

He isn’t. Zohran supports BDS.

The most surefire way to filter out carreer politicians is to look who dares to oppose the Israel lobby.

What is BDS? Duckduckgo and Wikipedia weren’t very helpful.

Boycott, Divest, Something…

At least, given the context, it’s somehow related to supporting Palestine.

Guide to BDS Boycott & Pressure Corporate Priority Targeting

Ending the complicity of states, corporations, and institutions in Israel’s ongoing, live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza is the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to end the genocide and dismantle Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid.
