NYers’ miserable options for mayor: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: The candidates working for NYC mayor within the upcoming Democratic major on June 24.
I’ve lived in New York City my complete grownup life, and I’ve felt apathetic during the mayoral elections, through which I’ve principally didn’t take part (“Mamdani gaining on leader Cuo,” June 18).
But this election is completely different: Zohran Mamdani is working on a set of beliefs which might be antithetical to New York City.
Mamdani desires to raise taxes on rich people and companies, which have already demonstrated that they may merely depart New York for more favorable financial climates, like Miami, if metropolis coverage turns into too prohibitive.
That wouldn’t solely trigger unemployment, it should additionally cut back the working budgets of the numerous cultural establishments that depend on donations.
If you wish to defend the greatness of New York City, merely depart Mamdani off of the poll.
It doesn’t matter who wins.
It solely issues that Mamdani loses.
If Mamdani loses, New York City wins.

There’s not one individual working who I’d vote for with the assumption that they’ve what’s best for the voters in thoughts.

Why does The Post continually run op-eds and editorials criticizing Andrew Cuomo?
While no candidate, together with Cuomo, is ideal, he’s our best hope of defeating Mamdani, who would wreck New York City if he turns into mayor.
The upcoming major is pivotal.
Bashing Cuomo may contribute to a catastrophe.

It is inconceivable that New Yorkers could have to decide on between Mamdani, Cuomo and several other different low-lights within the race for mayor.
Mamdani, a radical socialist, espouses concepts which might be absurd and would wreck New York’s economic system. Cuomo’s audacity to even take into consideration working after his callous and moronic choices during COVID killed numerous people, which he then tried to cowl up, is past perception.
The relaxation of the Democratic area is pitiful as nicely.

Since Cuomo is the supposed frontrunner, I’d prefer to remind New Yorkers of a number of issues: He issued an order that resulted within the deaths of quite a few seniors, and he shut down the Moreland Commission investigation when it was getting too close to his workplace.
He gave New York bail reform, which resulted in a crime wave.
He’s utilizing New York as a springboard to the White House.
You can do higher.

Will the moron Democrats in New York City ever wake up?
I assume they like mendacity politicians, who tax the hell out of them and are more anxious about illegals than Americans.
Vote for a Republican, and issues will get higher for the working man.

The race for mayor makes me grateful I don’t stay in New York City.
The main candidates are a disgraced former governor who was pressured to resign amd a pure socialist who desires to present away all the pieces for free and defund the police and hates Israel.
And the incumbent, working as an impartial, smokes cigars with a pair of antisemites.
I can’t vote in New York, but when I may, my alternative could be “none of the above.”

Mamdani is gaining on Cuomo?
With all of the upheaval occurring within the metropolis, you’d suppose people could be prepared to leap ship.
But in the event that they vote Mamdani into workplace, then they deserve what they get!
