Overwhelmingly? Trust me I am a big fan of yours but a Democratic candidate in NY getting just a little of 50% in NYC is an underperformance and certainly not indicative a vast support for his policies.

When your argument is weak. Insult! Got it. Bye.

I couldn't disagree with you more, but you are entitled to your opinion. If the Dems run nationwide on a Mamdani like platform they are doomed to lose.

It's crazy to think that because Mamdani go slightly over 50% of the vote as a Dem in NYC this is a mandate for his type of progressivism. If anything he won in spite of it not because of it. Dems would be foolish to copy his ways. With all the kicking and screaming Schumer is right.

Most. Of course not all. A Democratic mayoral candidate in NYC normally gets 70-80% of the Jewish vote. For Mamdami only to get 30% which is what the polls are saying shows that a lot of Jews feel like I do.

I'm sure you will dismiss all of this but this is what Jews feel whether you like it or not.

No chance I will stop and don't shut me up. We are all entitled to say what we feel. That's what his place is about.

Why don't you listen to Rabbi Buchdahl, an extremely liberal Rabbi on how dangerous Mamdami is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZhH...
Angela Buchdahl - first East Asian-American rabbi, has spoken against casting a vote for Z. Mamdani

To you. You have no right to tell us what to feel. Obviously more than 1300 Rabbis of all persuasion who signed that letter feel differently than you and you have no right to invalidate those feelings.

Right and to frame his statement that police abuse is the fault of Jews is not scapegoating Jews? That's absurd to think that. You think that Israel is the only place that police departments get trained in? Get real!

No way to beat around the bush. BDS is antisemitism and supporters of it should not be cleaned of that charge.

Oh for instance - when a NYC police officer puts his foot on a New Yorker's neck he was trained to do that by the IDF. Seriously you don't have to go far to find examples of his bias. Anyone who supports BDS is dangerous to Jews. Now the Mayor?

And to dismiss years of excellent and important work by the ADL because of one mistake is absurd. Thank G-d we have the ADL.

No the ADL should not be ignored. A person who has said some of the things that Mamdani has should certainly be put on notice the he will be watched. People need to realize that no person who has said about Jews about another group would have immediately been disqualified. About Jews? Gets elected.

Well Jews normally vote like 80% for a Democrat and now the polls show about 80% voting against the Democrats. Oh and over 1300 Rabbis signed a letter saying how dangerous the Democrat is to the Jewish community so yes the devil is in the details unless you choose to ignore them.

Is it not unreasonable to think that we should not have a mayor who a large % of people think has a bias/prejudice against them and is worried if he would keep them safe?

Time is running short. The Jewish community needs to realize what is at stake here and the good Rabbi is right. Every Jew needs to show up. It's that critical.
