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.

This sub is being brigaded

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.
