    This is certainly an unpopular opinion lol.

    Are you sure they’re doing that? I’ve known many Muslims and have never known any of them to do anything like that. Are you sure you didn’t watch some dishonest media that convinced you that that is what they are doing, and then you were able to apply it to this singular politician who is doing some policies that are wildly popular outside of the media you consume?

      Great, actual debate instead on an insta-ban! How modern!

      It seems somewhat obvious, but it’s not a surprising opinion for Mamdani to have, putting the interests and opinions of (parts of) the Arab world before the Christian/Jewish heritage that is New York City. He might be representing other interests and opinions than his constituents.

        He might be representing other interests and opinions than his constituents.

        You know he’s ahead by 22 percentage points, right? I mean it goes down to 4 points if you artificially winnow the field down into the most disfavorable one-on-one matchup that’s available and continue to give him no support from the Democratic establishment… but overall it sounds like he’s representing exactly the interests and opinions of his constituents, more so than anyone else anyone can find. Specifically that war crimes are bad and rich landlords can get fucked. What interests and opinions would you like to see represented instead of that?
