I think the person you are responding to was suggesting Mamdani voters were likely the sort of people who are being targeted by the current administration. I think you might be misunderstanding their (admittedly obtuse) post.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I should have been more charitable in my reading of GP's comment.
I've edited my comment to reflect that.

They weren't attacking Mamdani, they were saying that it would be interesting how things play out, considering that, being a brown person, he's in the group of people that the RNC would love to toss into a camp before making them disappear.

Yeah. I get that now.
It's an interesting, if horrifying thought -- stripping someone of their citizenship because folks don't like his religion and/or level of melanin.
It's disgusting.
I said it already, but I'll say it again -- I have no idea whether or not Mamdani will make a good mayor -- but he's far and away the best candidate in the race.
What are you going on about? Mamdani may or may not be a good mayor for NYC. Ask me in two years.
But he's not some sort of jihadi, Commie pinko. He's a New Yorker who is actually talking about issues that New Yorkers care about.
It certainly helps that his competition are a disgraced serial sexual harasser (Cuomo), a corrupt sitting mayor whose administration (as well as himself) is riddled with corruption and a lack of accountability (Adams) and a clownish jerk whose claim to fame is that he used to ride the subways at night with his gang and beat up whoever they felt like (Sliwa).
Given the competition. is it any wonder that Mamdani is a cinch to win the mayoralty?
And all that has absolutely zero to do with the mud being slung at him. He will be the next mayor of NYC and I look forward to his tenure -- especially since it means the other folks will go away, at least for a few years.
Mamdani may suck at being mayor. I don't know. But it would be difficult for him to be worse than his field of opponents.
And none of that stuff has anything to do with national politics or the DNC.
I say all this as an old white guy of Jewish extraction.
I don't know where you're from or where you live, but you're talking out of your ass and it smells that way too. Yuck!
