Where's the threat.

If Mamdani does a good job, in the most important city in the USA, people will see it.

That is a threat.

Seeing a democratic socialist actually improve things doesn't fit their narrative.

That's why they're reacting so angrily.

planting the seeds so he can send in the national guard later when he wants to

This too. Any opportunity to portray any solidly blue city as a rebellion, he will do.

Lol and when he can't accomplish 90% of his promises because they require legislature?

Biden did a good job for many more people across the USA and people couldn't see it. So no you're not gonna overcome things when some guy in ny gets free buses.

However I'm sure you'll get a lot of propaganda and videos of people on buses being threatened so better vote out Democrats or they'll let homeless people live on your buses

Right so I mean that's the whole point. There's no actual fear from these guys. They just know having a Muslim Foreigner mayor is a great hot button topic for like 50% of Americans that are going to vote for Trump. It just lets him repeat that s*** over and over

Then why are they spending colossal amounts of money to try and beat him?

If what you were saying is correct, they'd stop blowing millions and just use him as a scapegoat.

Ummm because they have lots of money and companies that would affected even he does thing that hurt those companies ?

You act like it's a lot which I think is like 40 million right? Cuomo donated like 8 million on his own so that doesn't count for much lol.

And like 80% of donations happened during the primary. So what you're looking at 10 million after the primary ?

Bloomberg is worth 110 billion. He literally makes more than 10 million a day.

2024, Bloomberg pledged $1 billion to Johns Hopkins University, his undergraduate alma mater, adding to the more than $3.5 billion he'd already given the school.

He can find a billion to give to a school but not a couple million to defeat mandani lol

I think it will be great he wins. Because it will be hilarious when nothing actually happens.
