Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do the same pic but with trump, and the towers are two little girls.
Reminds me of post 9/11 America. Anti Muslim hate and hate crimes became normal and celebrated. Americans sang koombayah about how united they were in their hate for brown people. Anyone who spoke out got cancelled, and anyone who defended muslims was called a terrorist
Didn’t Donald celebrate after 9/11 because his was now the tallest building in Manhattan?
Yes, on a call to Howard Stern's show
And it wasn’t even true.
Not much that comes from his mouth is. The useless kiddie fiddling paedo couldn't tell the truth if it was on a cue card in front of him.
Last year, Mamdani claimed to be 33 years old. Now he claims to be 34. Which is it Zohran???
You can shorten it to a month. His birthday was on the 24th
How does that message make sense in any framework besides racism?
The stated idea is that because Mamdani hates Israel, he is therefore in favor of Hamas, and therefore global islamist terrorism. It's a major stretch but people like my parents have been fed a nonstop stream of propaganda leading to shit like this since 9/11 happened.
Hey, it worked for Trump. Not in New York, though...

“His parents own a mansion in Uganda, he spent a lot of time there,” Cuomo said during an interview on Fox Business. “He just doesn’t understand the New York culture, the New York values, what 9/11 meant, what entrepreneurial growth means, what opportunity means, why people came here.”
Maybe I’m a dog, cause that whistle loud.
I was ABOUT to Vote for Mamdani until I found out he lived in a MANSION in UGANDA INSTEAD Of a Mansion in New York like Cuomo!
@danc4498 @return2ozma https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx005vdgg5yo ooh Farage tried that same one here. Nice.
We're way past dog whistles in the USA.
But you can't use a fog horn on a dog. They are way too loud.
What??
*cups one ear with a hand * /s
I THINK THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING PROUD!
What I know of him, he's been very outspokenly pro-American and anti-violence, but he'll never back down from siding with someone just because they're Muslim.
That doesn't matter to the fascists though, he'll be put with "Pro Islam == Pro Terrorism" regardless. It's pure racism, and they will always find some utterance of his and twist it to fit their agenda.
The Fascists? Obviously they're racist
How about the Democrats? Every goddamn interview they're like "hey, so we saw you with a brown person who looked kinda angry earlier, would you like to disavow claims that you're planning another 9/11?"
Hmm... Mamdani has the support of the guy who said something nasty about 9/11.
On the other hand Cuomo has the support of the guy who has insulted the memory of every victim and survivor of 9/11 more times than we can count.
Tough choice.
Cuomo has the support of the guy who, less than a full day after the attack, was in an interview gloating about how he was so happy that he had the tallest building in Manhattan now.
Is he seriously doing the Family Guy 9/11 meme?
So are they trying to show that Mamdani was in his teens when 911 happened? If so, then he should be in a leadership position, because typically, throughout American history, the futures of the young haven't been determined by people who should have died a decade ago.
It sounds like he's a contemporary to me, but what really interests me is that he promotes ideas and programs that seem to exclusively help, real, actual people that live, work, and breathe in his city, regardless of their social standing, or the number or properties they own. Almost like he embodies the the spirit of large amounts of the Constitution and declaration of Independence.
This is a great interview with Mamdani if you haven't had a chance to see him live- Jon Stewart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_cRrKScvE
