For all those with "Mamdani Derangement Syndrome" ;-)...here's a list of U.S. Socialist Mayors...
and all those cities across the USA still represent democracy...not communism.

That is a pretty short and unimpressive list, which proves the opposite of your goal

So you're agreeing that he's not the first one...right? You might also agree that not one of them
has tried to convert their city inhabitants into communists...right?
What a pathetic backtrack.

Still no comments on his own words

You voted for Trump, yet you are now consumed about a candidate’s “words?”
Racist, please.
Lend your brothers a hand: We need to know when and which words matter.

I thought I’d already posted the attached Politifact review of his comments…in case you missed it
And of his other comments that I posted? The quotes?

Have you watched the Colbert and FOX videos I've provided?...lots of questions asked...and
responded to by Zohran Mamdani himself.
So you just want to pretend he didn't say any of it.

Sorry man, but that guy is just a MAGA sized idjit on the other crazy side.
You don’t fight crazies by supporting other crazies on the other loon fringe.
All the MAGA toonies cheer every time these clowns get support.
As luck would have it, our family moved from NYC to a town not too far from Bridgeport, CT back in
the late '50's', when that city was run by a Socialist Mayor, Jasper McLevy, from 1933 to 1957, so he was in the news a lot in our area. Here's an excerpt from the attached Wiki summary of his life and time as Mayor...btw, let's see if Mamdani can win the NYC Mayor's Office, and then let's see what kind of Socialist he is...that will determine whether he or other Socialists have an impact on American politics. One thing for sure we DON'T WANT...is an Authoritarian Plutocracy under MAGAs imitating Putin's Russia.
-----------------------
Contrary to the fears of some,[who?] capital did not flee Bridgeport and McLevy began upon a reform agenda rather than a revolution.[citation needed] In a time of reduced revenue due to the Depression and, with city coffers depleted by corruption, McLevy managed to meet the city's obligations and balance the books, even reducing taxes. He withheld the lucrative contract for trash hauling, instituting municipal trash collection, saving the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. He took over Pleasure Beach where concessionaires had been reneging on taxes and rent for years. He began the process of putting all city purchases out for competitive bidding. In one instance when asphalt suppliers all supplied identical bids, he threatened to create a municipal asphalt supplier and broke their cartel. He championed transparency, opening all board and commission meetings to the press and the public ("Operation Goldfish Bowl"). He sold the expensive limousine his predecessor had used. He instituted a merit system in the police and fire departments. McLevy went on to be reelected eleven times.[1][2][5]
While he was a Socialist, McLevy was known for his fiscal restraint. When asked, after a snow storm, when the city would begin plowing snow, McLevy allegedly replied, "God put the snow there, let him take it away."[6] McLevy gained a reputation for balancing budgets, reducing spending and micromanaging city affairs. In the vernacular of the time, McLevy was referred to as a "sewer socialist", a pragmatist who focused on the details of running a city.[citation needed]

Yeah but this guy is no McLevy. Defending him just plays into the knuckle draggers strategy.

The 'Knuckle Draggers' will always pour $$$ into mudslinging claims and ignore their own corruption.
Mamdani is laser focused on the vast majority of NY citizens who aren't billionaires...that scares the Hell out of the MAGA GOP who rely on those votes to get their agenda passed. Besides, Mamdani can't ever run for President...so let's see if actually delivering for ALL New Yorkers works. Note that his "attack" on the richest NYers amounts to just an additional 2% of income...oh, the Horror!!!
100%
