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.

    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!”

    As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

      Citizenship doesn’t exist under a tyranny. There’s only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller

    I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.

    Republicans start being revolting, very early in their political careers, it seems. Maybe they are born that way.

    A photo of Trump next to a normal (both in looks and mentally) person never stops being surprising, hilarious and disturbing. We all know he both looks and behaves like an absolute clown, but most photos of him are of his goons and/or other dictators (real or wannabes) who all look ridiculous so you don’t get that direct comparison.

    Sadly, he’s going to lose by a significant amount. The media will smear him and social media will bury him in lies.

    Be idealistic all you want, but we’re going to lose.

      Mamdani is going to lose what? He already won the primary and since he’s running as a Democrat he has functionally won the NYC mayoral race when that happens.

      he might be a socialist and as left as any candidate can be, but somehow, he will institute Sharia law, stone gays, make burka mandatory… because the right is that unfathomably racist

      Exactly. If MAGAt morons don’t like the person, you know they’re probably the best choice.

    I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.

    ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.

      Now that the Supreme court has approved of deportations to third countries, this is actually feasible. Maybe Uganda would like to welcome them. Or perhaps Libya.

    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.

    If he does. Time for even more mass protests. Shut down the streets of New York until his citizenship is restored.

    What will the average non-bootlicking american will do if this happens? I have hope that this kind of event would be the trigger for the passive majority to actually resist.
