Even though he’s mayor of the largest city in America…

Kathy Hochul just told him- yeah, I can work with universal child care, but free busses? More affordable bus fares, sure, but free busses? No way.

The power of the mayor of New York is fairly circumscribed

Plus, you don't live in the Big Road Apple so you don't need to worry about any Zamboni baloney that Mamdani creates as Mayor.

Hochul will cave into the Mamdani communist red wave and will give him whatever tax increases he wants.

why would you be worried anyways?

Have you posted about Non Muslim Democrats and said "i'm not so worried about them" before they even take office?

Stick to being quiet about him - -120 days plus :)

At least Mamdani has his own voice and can use it.

BAAAAAAAAAA

Hmm. You might want to re-think this.

Politicians in Nee York state are currently fawning all over the guy. Including Kathy Hochul, who isn’t terribly popular.

Remember that the New York Assembly has a fair number of democrat socialists in it. Where do you think Mamdani’s base of support came from?

New York’s already seen a massive spike in murders/other crime by juveniles thanks to the laws they’ve already passed. With an ascendant Mamdani and a weakened Hochul, who wins?

I know who loses. New York.

"I know who loses. New York."

Can we have a little more respect for Hizzoner the New Mayor, please?

The correct name of the city is "The Ugandan Caliphate of New York."

And a fair number of upstate districts that handed Democrats their asses in 2022. Where do you think Elise Stefanik came from?

New York City may have a number of Democratic Socialists, but the rest of the state is pretty much split. Though Kathy Hochul may cater to New York City, her own base of support is elsewhere and is more conservative than NYC. She can’t lose them.

New York’s already seen a massive spike in murders/other crime by juveniles thanks to the laws they’ve already passed.

No, New York City hasnot seen a spike in murders recently when looking at year-to-date data for 2025; in fact, murders have significantly decreased.

Here is a breakdown of the recent murder trends in New York City:

Year-to-Date Decline (2025): Through the first ten months of 2025, New York City experienced historic lows in shooting incidents and shooting victims, and the overall number of murders was down significantly (down 19.6% as of August 2025) compared to the same period in 2024.
Monthly Fluctuations: There was a 33% increase in murders in the specific month of August 2025 compared to August 2024, largely attributed to several high-profile, geographically concentrated shooting incidents. However, officials noted that these monthly "spikes" are relatively small in raw numbers and do not reflect the overall long-term trend, which is a decline.
Long-Term Trend: Murders have been on a general downward trend since a pandemic-era peak in 2020-2021, and current numbers remain a fraction of the historical highs seen in the 1990s.

While some other crime categories like felony assaults and rapes have seen increases in recent years or months, murder and shooting incidents have generally been decreasing in New York City.

It takes almost nothing to check up on anything you say now Dope.

You really should stop trying to score points. The reason is that you suck at it and it just reinforces others' opinions that...you suck at it.

This is the Mayor's Management Report from September of this year:

Youth arrested for major felonies:
FY 2021: 2807
FY 2025: 5623

Ratio? 2.00x

Again, you suck at attacking other posters. Why don't you spend some time studying issues and learning how to make arguments? Then you can avoid looking silly every time you take a run at somebody more equipped upstairs than you are.

And what was it you said? Murder and violent crimes per memory - so your response doesn't match your point

AI Overview
Murder/Homicide: The murder rate in NYC has decreased. In 2024, there was a nearly 4% reduction in murders compared to 2023. This downward trend continued into the first half of 2025, with a 16% lower homicide rate compared to the first half of 2024.

Violent Crime (overall): Overall major crime in NYC was down by around 3% in 2024 compared to 2023. However, the general "violent crime" category (which includes murder, rape, robbery, and felony assault) has been trending upward since before the pandemic, primarily driven by increases in specific offenses. End

I'm not the one calling you stupid Dope, but I do think you will always be a surrender monkey, and I do think you lie, dissemble, cheat, deceive and think you're the artful dodger by doing that.

You haven't even mentioned any laws that were passed by Social Democrats and established a causal connection between those laws and anything in those laws. That's your main point and it's easy to show that you're wrong:

"A new report by Brennan Center Justice Program Senior Counsel Ames Grawert and Economics Fellow Terry-Ann Craigie offers the most wide-ranging study of the issue so far, finding no evidence that bail reform affects crime rates. The authors discussed their approach to the research and unpacked the significance of their findings in an interview."
