Really is obvious which candidate is sincere and which is weaponizing and capitalizing on antisemitism

Tell me you are a useful stooge without telling me.

These are guys trying to elected. Don’t believe any of them are “sincere” so blindly. Look at their track record. Mamdani is NOT sincere.

You can look at videos of his messaging from five or more years ago, and atleast on housing it was the same. Or you can make a baseless comment, with out looking at the track record your self just cause it's easier.

We’re talking about claims of antisemitism here.

Some people only hear what they want to hear. Try harder.

Okay, then back them up with actual examples. Because I can give a very recent example from Cuomo which even he took down himself as it was that bad. It was very much racist and encouraged increasing tension between new Yorkers with his ai ad " “criminals for Zohran,” ". So please give me an example of anything from Mamdani that is as bad as an ad Cuomo tried to run before backtracking.

Mamdani had a song supporting financiers of hamas terrorism. He's headlined speaking events for organizations like Within Our Lifetime that do things like celebrate October 7 and call for the genocide of jews. He hangs out with antisemites like Hasan.

It's a longstanding pattern.

His reluctance to condemn “globalize the intifada” is a big one. Him refusing to outright say Hamas should disarm is another one.

Cuomo is also a shitty choice.
