To wish we had someone like Mamdani in UK politics?

[LostInManhattan]

Someone who’s passionate, young and willing to break the rules in politics, all while caring about his city and the people in it. I wish we had someone like that here.

You'd think they'd spot that last bit, but nope...

Maybe on the first line of second para. Agree about dropping safeguarding part.

I guess we can see how a socialist does in reality v the talk and find out what’s viable.

Well yes, it is kind of inconvenient if you want your MP to deal with your issue on housing, or your child's school, or something along those lines, but they have no interest in anything other than Gaza.

How do you know they’ve woken up concerned and why do you ignore the massive number that DID vote for himself are they antisemtic?

It's so tedious that when people don't like the result they dismiss the people of the demographic they're crying about that DID vote for him.

I literally didn't ignore tbe ones that voted for him! There has been very widespread coverage ofJewish concern. - its all very easy to find inline Those concerns that were there yesterday did not evaporate over night so obviously they are still there.

Who dismissed it?

I'm obviously talking about tbe people who have legitimate concerns about Mamdani who have been dismissed as 'arseholes'.

No doubt you prefer to have Trump who definitely 'knows what a woman is' because he has sexually assaulted a few of them.

What are the legitimate concerns? Wanting to arrest Netanyahu if he arrives in New York? Not unquestionably supporting Israel?

Can't stand Trump but I don't have to, because I'm not American and would never want to visit that place.

And not wanting to vote for the anti-women left doesn't mean for one moment that I support the anti-women right.

What an achievement for him, a 34 year old Muslim man being mayor of New York! He ran a fantastic campaign and I wish him every success.

Millions of women woke up last November feeling disturbed and apprehensive about an anti-women's reproductive rights, adjudicated sex offender becoming President again.

The hate filled propaganda against Mamdani is utterly ridiculous. Saying that he would welcome another 9/11 and that he would make all women in New York wear a burkha. Have you seen his wife? She looks like a model.

The Jews of New York that you refer to are probably right wingers that voted for Trump and who support people like the disgustingly racist Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer.

The son of Mira Nair is most definitely not going to make anyone wear a burkha. That's nonsense.
If someone wants to wear one though, he is not going to ban it or call them names.

Interesting that *the Republican candidate got only 7% of the vote! (According to the BBC website.)
I dare say Trump will say it was rigged….

This is going to be more and more common as younger politicians gain power in America. More than half of Americans have a negative view of Israel. When it comes to the under 50s 50% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats have an unfavourable view. Unwavering support for Israel is gone and it won't come back any time soon.

How convenient to just ignore this. Apparently if you don't like the official definition of 'Zionism' you just ignore it and make up your own.

This is why 'anti-zionism' is a protected political belief in the UK.

Didn't Trump encourage people to vote tactically for Cuomo?

Trump encouraged people to vote for a sex pest and fraudster? Surely not...

Yes, I do call out anti-Semitism, as you can see from my posts.

'The Arabic one'. Delightful.

The post including that term, it’s not about a person, it’s not an insult to the post. Do continue to post as you like, that’s what mn is for.

We don’t have to post on everything the same way.

You mean like 90% of the US administration RIGHT NOW? Almost all of them TV people.

And you think Farage is not a performer?

Hatred or a different point of view? Antisemitism is not the same as anti Zionism
