Mamdani elected New York Mayor

MG55 which news channel do you watch? What does it matter?

Hopefully that was a rhetorical question 🙈
Because each news channel has its own bias in the way it presents information (or omits information) so one needs to question what one reads / hears to see all sides and become fully informed.

I’m surprised that Cuomo got the number of votes given his reputation. But then I guess people voted for Trump and look at his past history.

J52. I give up. You really think NYPD are corrupt if they leave New York? How do you figure that?

That’s why I used the word ‘might’.
Off now, I have a busy day.

I am heartened that we have fresh new blood challenging the old order both here and in NYC ! I hope I live long enough to see changes ! I might not agree with all they want to achieve but I love their bravery to take on the existing lot!!

Oh yes, he apologises to NY police now of course he needs them on his side, but that will be doubtful.He knew all those facts when he said what he did about the police, it’s simply clawing back and grovelling now that he’s in a position of power.
I guess the time to comment on what he actually does is a few years down the line.

reading the above posts about the NYPD and their officers moving out to a Republican area - the 5% must be the police officers!

So, back to the claim about 'anti-semitism'.
Is it another example of the frequent conflation between being anti-Israeli Gaza destruction and being anti Jewish?

I wonder which news channel you are watching?

Just a wild guess... Fox?

Mamdani took every borough bar 1 - Staten Island which voted for a socially conservative democrat.

Trumps party got 5% of the vote

The democrats totalled 94% of the vote - Mamdani 57% and Como 37% of the vote.

Apparently, NYPD officers are now looking to move out of state to other States that are Republican states. Good.

On that we can agree, no loss to NYC and gives them a chance to recruit better people.

IOMGran You don’t think what…..

That I believe you.

Re the police Mamdani's stance has moved on. Are you going to not allow anyone to evolve their stance?

Zohran Mamdani apologized to the NYPD primarily because he wants to work collaboratively with the officers and recognizes the risks they take serving the city. He expressed regret for the harsh language he used in 2020 during the George Floyd protests, when he called the department "racist," "wicked," and "corrupt." Mamdani explained that back then, it felt like safety and justice were far apart, which fueled his frustration and critical comments. His apology reflects an evolution in his views and a desire to build a working relationship with the police force, acknowledging the complex demands placed on NYPD officers, who now respond not only to serious crime but also to mental health and homelessness calls. This was articulated publicly during a Fox News interview, where he apologized directly to rank-and-file officers he had previously criticized.

I expect those police officers who might be corrupt would look to move elsewhere. After all, we are also trying to root out our corrupt Metropolitan Police officers.

Thank you Artois for the information. I take it that you are in America.

Oreo - Mamdani has never been a centrist.

IOMGran - I agree with you …
Sigh

Thank you J52 for the facts.

Artois and Oreo seem very edgy towards other posters when only asked to explain their views.
Artois did reference the voters in New York who supported Mamdani to ‘fools’ ( have not got the exact quote here).
So much for respecting democracy.

Very edgy🤔 perhaps we don’t care for personal attacks…just a thought!
It doesn’t matter that opinions on this new Mayor differ.
Also try to get posters names right , it’s Arto1s not Artois.

J52 it just popped up on our news over here

Do you mean ALL officers or some?
How many and where have you got this information from?

Direct quote from Mamdani “ There is no negotiating with an institution this wicked and corrupt. Defund it. Dismantle it.” The man is now backing away from this statement. Hypocrisy beyond belief.

Where is this quote from, please.

It’s all there, just google about it.

This is why I rarely comment on here. It feels to be such a waste of time and energy. I guess at the end of the day, we have to agree to disagree.

We need posters to disagree….but to do it agreeably without all the personal attacks.
After reading about the new Mayor I agree with you, if he now tones down the radical ideas he was espousing he may ( or not) be too bad.He was arguing to defund the police a while ago and is very left wing, not a centrist at all.
