I’m sorry one of these anecdotes really stands out from the others
Excerpt from an article reading: At a holiday block party, a mother was called a "genocidal killer" in front of her preschool-aged children; another was called a "bitch" by a man miming throat-slitting while she scraped graffiti from a lamp post. At a neighborhood bar's karaoke night, a man sang "Deutschland über alles" while giving a Nazi salute. Posters and stickers with keffiyehs and machine guns have regularly appeared near playgrounds and public spaces.

Also I think the slogan at the bottom of this mailer is the worst I’ve ever seen
SAY NO To The Extreme Agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America It May Sound Nice but Their Ideas Endanger Our Community. They actually want to: DEFUND AND ABOLISH THE POLICE RELEASE ALL PRISONERS, EVEN VIOLENT CRIMINALS DISMANTLE THE GANG DATABASE DECRIMINALIZE ALL DRUGS, INCLUDING HEROIN AND FENTANYL THE DSA: Dangerous. Senseless. All wrong for Black America

A scene from The Office (US), S02E12 "The Injury" Ryan and Toby are standing in the break room. Ryan is holding a piece of string cheese that he's bitten into, and he says: "You know, around age 12, I just started going for it, you know."

This is their number one suggestion, something he is already doing
Screenshot from the article that reads: “1. Dispense with the anti-semitism issue. This is the biggest obstacle to Mamdani coming in as a unifying force and starting his mayoralty with momentum. We are both Jewish, and like most New Yorkers, we are worried about increasingly overt anti-Semitism. We both realize that it’s possible to oppose Israel without being prejudiced against Jews. The truth is that what the New York City mayor thinks about the Middle East is mainly irrelevant. What matters is how the New York City mayor treats his Jewish constituents.” Screenshot from the article that says: “If Mamdani can actively protect Jews from hate crimes and violence and make clear that he vigorously opposes prejudice, if he spends time working with Jewish leaders (like he would any constituency), and if he focuses his energy on making New York City clean, safe, well run and more affordable and not on geopolitics, he can put this issue to bed. Otherwise, it will be a constant distraction that could end up becoming the defining issue of his mayoralty.”
