Notes -
Don't you find it amusing that some people are trying to stop Mamdani with the same toolset that hilariously failed to stop trump for 10 years straight and are surprised at their failure.
There are extremely long think and hit pieces and lots of snark, refutals and zingers. And none of them are in format or place that are engaging to the people that will vote for him.
That's because the actual strategic play on the right is not to oppose Mamdani, its to amplify him. If deep blue NYC wants to vote in a champagne socialist who larps at third-world credentialism, more power to them. They'll just be over in the corner eating popcorn and taking notes.
As a result, the anti-Mamdani coalition is a slapdash contraption hobbled together by people who mostly despise each other and are united only in their disbelief that NYC voters could possibly be this dumb, financed by a couple of boomer billionaires who are not particularly relevant. Thus the reason you dont see any coherent opposition is because it doesnt exist. Mamdani will be the next mayor of NYC, and his supporters will get what they voted for, good and hard.
I am talking not about the people on the center left, which fail in exactly the same way the people on the center right failed to stop Trump. There is coherent opposition. It is just an extremely ineffective one.
Yeah? Centrist boomers gonna centrist boomer.
