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, well, we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren’t doing nothing. Would you like us to make the potential civil war hot now or later? 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.

        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.

          Why dont you organize a bigger one then that isn’t on a weekend, and try to get more people to participate instead of just complaining about it? If you’re not going to do something then be quiet…Seriously, who comes in with this shit, ‘actually iTs oNlY ThE tHiRd bIgGeSt iN hIStOrY’

            I’m not complaining; I’m simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.

        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.

          Just wish we’d get it over with already so the healing and rebuilding can start. I’d like to see things head the right way before old age takes me in a couple decades, and it’s gonna be a bit to undo all this.
