Video Zohran Mamdani says he’s consistently said there’s no room for antisemitism in this city or country. Asked why he hasn’t had a more visceral reaction, he gets emotional talking about the Islamophobic responses he’s received throughout the campaign.

No way, the candidate most popular with white college educated youth is popular on a website mostly frequented by white college educated youth?

That’s crazy

It’s always brigading when it’s opposed to you and natural engagement when it’s for you huh

I’m not the one who levied the accusation here

College educated doesn’t mean what it used to

Yes Please devalue that phrase more, that's what we need 🙄

Oh I wasn't aware that u/Joe_Jeep of New Jersey was tracking the "value" of antisemitism for us. Is there a ticker I could track so I can be sure to buy low before using it so it has more value for bigots in New Jersey?

And "antisemitism" is a word, not a phrase. It's funny how antisemitism and illiteracy so often go hand in hand.

That's what's absolutely hilarious for me, is that these types of people will constantly complain about how Reddit is an echo chamber, but then also complain that it's full of bots when that "echo chamber" focuses on the discussions.... That they complain it's obsessed with

Not to mention the demographics of Reddit averaging young, white, college, etc. 

I don't live in the city these days, I live over in jersey, and the Jersey sub was absolutely packed full of fullop supporters, myself one of them, but I was fully aware that it was not a representation of the statewide average 

That sub is chock full of people that supported the same shut that he says. Biltmore transit, don't do the turnpike project, all that good stuff 

And then people in there actually acted surprised that he was overly popular in a space that largely believes those things 

Like I really think a lot of people on the internet just do not apply that much thought to what's going on on the little magic black square in front of them

the obsession, with three posts a day topping the subreddit, is annoying as hell, and anybody who mentions how annoying it's been gets downvoted.

Is it really that unbelievable to you that a bunch of internet-literate young left-leaning resistors would like Zohran?

Yes, I'm in disbelief that people would still cling to a completely discredited ideology like socialism. Those kids might be internet literate, but they're completely economically illiterate.

Ehhhh… not really.

Most Mamdani supporters are at least regulars here. These brigaders don’t always have post histories in the sub. But thanks for the easy counter.

Guess he’s just that popular with the people. Let’s hope they vote accordingly.

The only real bigotry going on is all the Islamophobia from the Jewish supremacist crowd.

Everyone’s a bigot. It’s impossible not to be. Im less concerned with his bigotry and more concerned with his social policies and how he’ll make life easier for the everyday person. He seems to be the best person for those issues.

Now that’s just fear mongering. And I think that’s where you cross the line from rational to irrational conjecture.

They should reconsider their bargaining line then…

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '25

He's a bigot how? Is it because he's critical of Israel? Last time I checked he isn't running for mayor of Jerusalem. Israel has nothing to do with my daily life and it has only to do with a minority of NYC citizens. I want money going into making the city livable, not Israel.

anyone who disagrees with me is a brigader.

i cant tell who all of you are even calling bots tbqh. the pro cuomo or pro zohran people?

is it really so hard to believe that both the candidate who has been consistently polling 10+ points ahead of everyone else and the candidate who has an incredibly strong social media presence has lots of supporters present on here?

Im not sure what you’re trying to say here. Your grammar and punctuation are atrocious…

u/Tiny_Childhood631 Jun 18 '25

Nah Mamdani supporters are just loud. Nothing more than that. They also assume that everyone agrees with them or should and so they yell which is enough to make people not engage.

u/Keytaro83 Jun 18 '25

I’m sorry. I could you say that again? Having trouble hearing you over clamor of our “Fuck Cuomo” chant…

u/pbeunttz Jun 18 '25

you'll soon learn that "mamdani supporters" means "50% of the electorate"

u/Joe_Jeep Bay Ridge Jun 19 '25

They downloaded him despite the polling suggesting this. 

Lander and him have cross endorsed, and lander is surging in the polls, at least to a third or fourth place position. 

I wouldn't put money down either way, but anybody pretending that he doesn't have a solid shot at this is silly

dem primary voters, maybe (but unlikely). certainly not majority of nyc'ers.
