The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    Yeah that’s not going to happen. Zohran Mandani is in no way a threat to the US. Period.

    If it did happen I bet LA this last month will look like a slumber party compared to what will happen as a result of this actually happening.

    From a board game standard, political ideologies are like this.

    Conservatives see life through the game of Monopoly. They must take everything and have everything and leave others with nothing. If any other player has anything, then they aren’t truly winning.

    Liberals see life through the game of Jumunji. They see it as all the players must work together to win and if there is even one weak link, we all lose.

    Moderates see life like the game of Life. They believe “wrongly even” that we all start similar and that our choices determine how we end with some winners and some losers.

    The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn’t going to be

    “Blue no matter who”

    It’s going to be

    “More green than blue or else fuck you too!”

      RNC promotes greens through the Badger Values PAC, the European Greens parties asked the US Greens to step down in the last election because if Harris lost then Republicans win. Can you guess how many Greens are in the US congress today? ZERO. Can you guess which party Mamdani is in? DNC.

      As an outsider looking at American politics, “blue no matter who” is a propaganda to condition Americans citizens to always accept the lesser evil, and to not bother to try to lobby or pressure their own representatives to be actually be better.

        “Blue no matter who” doesn’t mean “vote for the second worst person”. What it means is anyone who has any shred of decency isn’t a republican anymore, and republicans cannot be allowed to win at any cost, or they will very quickly backslide civil rights and start a war in the Middle East.

        I think the Dems will back Mamdani, since he’s going to win the primary. There are a lot of naysayers about the Democrats who think otherwise, it will be interesting to watch the space in the next few weeks.

        Also, if the Republican pull his citizenship then I’m going to fucking riot.

          Dems are already backing Mamdani, he already won the primary and he is himself a part of the party. Even though Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo, who served as HUD Secretary under Clinton, he had this to say about Mamdani’s victory:

          “Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future”

          ~Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States of America

      The first time I heard of “communists” and “socialists” was back when I was in middle school, when Bush Jr got us into war. All I did was ask why in the world we were invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden. Sincerely trying to understand the world. That’s when the already-brainwashed kids starting flinging “socialist” and “communist” like they meant the same thing as “idiot.”

      So, I decided to read about those concepts to see what all the hubbub was about. Surprise surprise, when I later responded to those same kids by asking what they thought the words meant, they couldn’t answer the question.

      Now I’m thinking it’s kind of like the Streisand Effect - 'Muricans don’t want you to know about how other countries run. I didn’t know about systems besides capitalism yet, until the spawn of conservatives decided to use ancient fears from the 1950s as an insult in the year 2003. Surprise surprise, now there’s a swath of Millennials (and other generations, of course) just like me who learned that if conservatives hate something, it’s worth looking into.

      “Communist” and “socialist” are no different than “liberal” for them – just labels to selectively target those they don’t like, for whatever reason they decide. Just slap the label on and you’re good to go

          Well that’s pretty ignorant of the mass murder that Mao and Stalin engineered amongst other atrocities by communist regimes.

            Would Marx have said those folks are communist? I reckon “the least” sure yeah… but to me, compared to “capitalist” (which is gobs worse) - the moniker “communist” is not offensive.

              Marx wouldn’t likely have accepted Stalin or Mao as “communist” either. Unfortunately like the word literally, “communist” has expanded in what it can mean.

              Which is why I felt inclined to comment due to your use of “in the least”

    If they revoked a U.S. citizens of his citizenship, that will provoke nation wide protests across the U.S., you dont revoked citizenship unless someone has done something extremely egregious, and there are very very few cases of that ever happening in the U.S. (maybe none, I havent looked it up).

    I personally will not sit down and just take these wackjobs shit laying down. This country is everybody’s, not just the far-right dipshits christofascist playground.

    This guy has done literally nothing except want a better future for people. That’s not a crime.

I honestly would prefer to just do this shit peacefully, but that may not be an option. We certainly aren’t doing nothing like you are saying. Just bcz hou dont personally see it doesn’t mean everyone is laying down.

          Unfortunately I strongly believe peaceful protest only works with a government that actually gives a shit. If we had a government that was comprised of people who we simply disagreed with but who still respected “the will of the people” they’d react to massive outcries.

          We do not have that government. We have a government actively pushing for the president to have dictator “unitary executive” powers. As in: setting the president above the judiciary, and having Congress subservient to the presidency. They do not give a single solitary fuck about how upset we are about XYZ thing.

          Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I’d say No Kings was nothing.

        AFAICT, the law is not very well settled at all about whether you have a right to defend yourself when the cops are acting like a bunch of bozos. There’s case law that supports people defending themselves from middle of the night no-knocks raids, and also case law that basically says “it’s your fault for not just magically knowing it was the police”. There’s case law that says that you are within your rights to not obey lawful orders when the police fail to properly identify themselves, but it’s also an absolute mess of state level laws and rulings, with some states basically being like “you are legally required to just know who the cops are” and others requiring that the police very clearly identify themselves with some type of proof of who they are.

    At this point I think GOP is simply a fascist party, which has been hiding behind false patriotism.

    They are simply atrociously and with no sense of humanity or ridiculousness. Just pure hatred personified into a shell of human beings.

          They already made a similar deal with the UK to recieve asylum seekers. I’m guessing for quite a bit of money/support. So yeah, Uganda signed on for this. Not the Ugandan people off course, but Museveni is quite a POS. Also, I kind of enjoy the idea of the right wing losers in the NYYRC finding themselves as a refugee minority in a majority black country.
