The race for the next mayor of New York is shaping up to be a major inflection point in the ongoing infiltration of socialist/woke/Marxist ideology into the fabric of the United States. The success of Zohran Mamdani is very concerning for the future of NYC, the most important and consequential city in the US. If he becomes the mayor, the deleterious effects will be immediately and permanently consequential. The seat of capitalism for the entire world will be led by a socialist, anti-capitalist. To boot, the most Jewish city outside of Israel will be run by an avowed antizionist, pro-Hamas, antisemite.
It is a complete failure that a better candidate wasn't recruited to run for mayor. It is critical for the financial industry centered in New York to have a moderate mayor and the blame and consequence will be directed at them. Where are the finance leaders like Jamie Dimon that invest billions into NYC? Where are the NY real estate moguls that have so much to lose if Mamdani wins. There should have been a candidate for mayor from the business world. Instead we had the choice of a Marxist, a washed out disgraced politician in Andrew Cuomo, and an ineffective incumbent in Adams. But it is too late.
It is inconceivable that the majority of New Yorkers desire Mamdani to lead their city, but he can win for several reasons. The small but vocal woke minority will be sure to get a high percentage of its adherents to get out and vote, while the complacent moderates will have a lower turnout. Futhermore, it is appearing that the anybody but Mamdani vote will be split amongst more than one competitor. This anybody but Mamdani vote has to consolidate behind one candidate for their to be a chance.
Most importantly, the Jewish vote has to be motivated and mobilized to vote. There is every reason for every Jew in NY to vote against this antisemitic, anti-Zionist. The Jewish vote can sway the election holding 12% of the electorate with the potential for an even greater relative percentage by pumping up turnout. Every Rabbi should begin immediately sermonizing to their congregations about the importance of coming out to vote in November. Every Jewish organization should be pounding its NY members to vote.
We cannot sit idly by and watch an anti-capitalist lead the center of capitalism and we cannot allow an anti-semite lead the center of Jewish life in the diaspora.
If you are horrified by the events of October 7 and the public's pro-Hamas response it is incumbent on you to vote. If you are Jewish or supporter of Israel, please make it your business to vote on November 4 .
NO EXCUSES.
