    Liberals and the GOP are going to spend huge amounts of money to defeat him.

    Ftfy.

    Money doesn’t win elections, people do. We see it over, and over, and over again. And even so, Mandami is probably positioned to be one of the number one fundraisers in the country with all the earned media they’ve generated.

    There is a real way they can beat Mandami, which would be to have him kidnapped by ICE. So.

      Propaganda wins elections. The less educated the population is, the more likely they are to fall for propaganda and media manipulation. America has a lot of uneducated voters.

        America does but NYC is a fairly different electorate. I canvassed for Mamdani and many voters were exposed to anti-Mamdani propaganda and voted for him anyways. The cost of living in NYC is a far larger threat than narratives they come up with.

      Money doesn’t win elections, people do.

      This assumes that elections aren’t tampered with, which is factually false in the US now.
