The Issue: Polls show Zohran Mamdani within the lead as New Yorkers select their subsequent mayor.
It is astonishing that New York City is on the verge of electing Zohran Mamdani, a communist and terrorist sympathizer who’s pro-crime, anti-American, antisemitic and anti-Italian as the subsequent mayor (“Turnout set for record high, giving Cuo edge,” Nov. 3).
His insurance policies haven’t labored wherever they’ve been carried out prior to now. Do you actually assume this baby of privilege, who’s by no means held a job within the personal sector, has a magic system to make them work now?
Our founders as soon as stated the largest factor we as a nation must concern is an uninformed citizens, and that’s the place we are actually.

Be cautious what you want for tomorrow, Gen Z voters and others.
If you discover time, communicate to some Cubans to get an concept of what’s to include Mamdani earlier than you vote.
Find out why they had been determined to flee Cuba. Find out in regards to the tremendous rich politicians in energy who preach about equality for the “little people.”
There is just one factor worse than a communist working this metropolis, and that’s a communist who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

As a Staten Island resident, I’m conscious that our island votes overwhelmingly Republican. But there are occasions when the outcomes won’t justify the means — and that is certainly one of them.
A vote for Curtis Silwa, and never the admittedly tarnished Andrew Cuomo, is a vote for the man we will’t have working our metropolis. As The Post has urged, Staten Islanders, and all different metropolis residents, please get out and vote for Cuomo. He’s the one one who can save us from an antisemitic lunatic.

It’s by no means been so important for all New Yorkers to vote within the mayoral election.
Mamdani is a wealthy child who’s by no means had a job and reveals his blatant hatred of Jews and America. Cuomo’s an conceited failure who brought about aged deaths during COVID and couldn’t keep his arms in his pockets round ladies.
Meanwhile, Sliwa has been defending New Yorkers for over 40 years on his own dime. He has concrete plans to save lots of town and particulars them on his web site. A vote for him is a vote for optimistic change. Take pleasure in making your vote depend.

I enthusiastically contributed to each Sliwa’s 2021 and 2025 campaigns however have agreed with everybody saying he ought to resign and assist Andrew Cuomo during the last two weeks.
I liken his habits to that of a spoiled brat who disagrees with the questionable third strike call of the umpire and refuses to depart the batter’s box, leading to his workforce forfeiting the championship sport.

According to Mamdani’s supporters, the day of reckoning is right here. They really imagine they’re going to get all the things at no cost.
Thanks to Cuomo, that is the fact. He couldn’t get his head round the concept he misplaced the first and Sliwa had a likelihood.
It is just not a day of reckoning, it’s a day of “wreck”-oning.

To all Republicans dwelling in New York City, I perceive how helpless you’re feeling at election time, as our candidate by no means actually stands a likelihood.
Nobody likes to compromise their rules. However, we should understand what’s at stake right here.
The lesser of two evils is rarely a nice selection, however permitting a socialist propagandist to be elected mayor of town could be a great disservice to all New Yorkers.
I can’t carry myself to inform anyone who to vote for, however I believe you get my drift.

There was a common TV show years in the past known as “Rhoda.” The finish of the opening credit is a good message for New York City voters: “Hey, New York, this is your last chance!”
Mamdami will destroy this metropolis. Those endorsing him couldn’t care much less about how you reside after they go home to gated houses protected by security guards.
