Mamdani wins NY
Nov 5^th, 2025 at 1:10pm

Quote:

New Yorkers have shaken the United States's political establishment and delivered 34-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani a thumping victory in the city's contentious mayoral election.

For weeks, polls predicted Mr Mamdani was on course for an historic triumph and as counting continued on Tuesday night, local time, his lead became unassailable.

He will become the first Muslim mayor of New York, and joins a small handful of people born overseas to get the keys to Gracie Mansion since the city threw off its colonial shackles almost two centuries ago.

From what I heard of his policies, he sounds like he'll be a great Mayor.

Yes, I must be catching TDS: I loathe Trump for saying he would deport Mamdani if he won.

Trouble is Mamdani will not be able to implement his 'socialist' policies, because he won't be able to tax the rich to fund his policies - the establishment won't allow it.

I hope the progressive wing of the Dems can now assert itself over the moribund 'centrist' faction, by exploring the funding of government via issuance of money from treasury, rather than taxing or borrowing from 'taxpayers'.

[Milton Friedman's line: "inflation is always a monetary phenomenon" is BS; it's time to abolish the "independent central bank"].

Bernie Sanders knows of MMT through Stephanie Kelton (who was his economic adviser in the 2016 election); so there is a chance Mamdani - in Bernie's progressive faction - might discover his options are far greater than relying on the rich to fund his policies.

Bully Trump has threatened to defund NYC if the "communist" (Trump's word) is elected; hopefully 'TACO' will apply when Mamdani is sworn in.

Mamdani won 50% of that So 18% of all eligible New Yorkers elected him mayor.

Yep

He's the new Mayor.

Yes - he's a political communication genius every bit as rousing as Trump (if you'll excuse the comparison).

But how can he be so confident he can deliver on his promises, if he has to rely on raising taxes on rich people?

Trump has his plan to tax the rest of the world instead of taxing Americans (the results still to be determined), Mamdani can't try that trick....

Australia is the Political reverse. Look at how weak our Federal level has become via the position of PM. Our political power is really at 'the people's (the Common Wealth)' level, like Shires and States.
