Fuck yeah! Checking in from Portland where 3 of our 12 city councillors are democratic socialist. Love this shit, go Zohran
The undead disembodied specters of the foul decomposing corpses of the bloated geriatric elites are assembling as we speak in vast underground chambers that reek of brimstone and sulfur.
I love his platform and his face. Look at that face.
Oh noez! This socialist communist man of the people is too popular! /s
He’d have my vote if I lived in NYC.
Let’s move so we can vote for him!
Anecdotal but I’m not seeing his stuff as much on Instagram as I was before the primary election. Almost feels like IG tuned him down in the algorithm.
Is he posting as much stuff? I’m not saying you are wrong, but I wonder if he’s put out less stuff if he’s trying to recalibrate his campaign for the general election.
It’s as if IG is controlled by a billionaire so cowardly and manipulative the far left and right hate his guts.
Mr. Mamdani, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
yeah, I’ve read these stories countless times and the outcome has always been the same. In all honesty I think they do more harm than good. It gets it into the morons heads “oh, he’s going to win, I can stay home”.

I keep seeing this line printed over and over again, in every election cycle, by people who seem to think there really is this enormous body of people who are enthusiastic about a candidate but unenthusiastic about voting.
Hell, Cuomo complained about it shortly after the election. He lost because too many people liked him too much and thought his win was assured. I heard this after Brexit. I heard it after Hillary lost in 2016 and after Trump lost in 2020 and after Harris lost in 2024. We can have historic high turnouts and historic low turnouts. We can have sea changes in the composition and ideology of the voters. We can have scandals flood the papers a day before the election that throw polls into chaos and candidates who coast to victory on double-digit margins. (Incidentally, Mamdani won by 12% in an election he was projected to lose by more than that a month earlier). The “I was secretly so popular that people forgot to vote for me” myth endures.
I’ve got an alternative hypothesis. Maybe people turned out for Mamdani because they liked him a lot and people stayed home for Cuomo because he was a creepy sex-pest POS. It had nothing to do with their projected odds of winning and everything to do with their appeal as political leaders.
Doktor Cardamom is a dream boat.
Wow, I am finally glad that the worst people in the world telling you not to support them, even if some of those evil assholes are Democrats, has stopped working.
fuck off newsweek with your clickbait bullshit, such a garbage outlet…
Somebody surly has come up with the right slogan
You don’t mess with the Zohran!
“You too!”
Tap for spoiler
fake headline duh
Zohran the Destroyer!
Or whatever label his opponents came up with that make him sound badass
Keep it up!
Fucking love this polling. The only shot the establishment has is either Adams or Cuomo dropping out and endorsing the other. Cuomo won’t quit because he’s a sociopathic narcissist. Adams can’t quit because if he can’t do Trump’s bidding in NYC, Trump will probably prosecute him for corruption (and he is very guilty of corruption). Throw Silwa into the mix and the moderates will have to choose between two corrupt megalomaniacs and a weirdo in a beret, while anyone remotely progressive will gravitate towards Mamdani.
Aw… they did poor Curtis Silwa dirty.
Like, Mamdani all the way. But if I’ve got to pick between those last three, Silwa’s clearly the least awful choice.
I vote for Not Sure. He’s the smartest man in the world.
So…Socrates?
Also to note for others: NYC only has ranked choice for mayor in primaries (or special elections), so there is no ranked choice in this general election
That’s why they got that cunt cuomo to run independent.
Honestly at this point, because of first past the post, this probably splits the establishment vote. Which I personally think is hilarious (ranked choice being implemented would be better, of course).
Yeah, because the Dems have been keeping him in news cycle after news cycle by attacking him so he can spread his policy ideas.
Maybe the real progressives were the Democrats we made along the way.
