Fake account or not, it inspired me to share why @ZohranKMamdani cannot be our mayor. I am grateful for the inspiration.

I am not opposed to your being mayor due to your religion and I have never suggested that. Nor have I ever said that you are not an American or should be silenced. These are all false narratives that you are trying to create. To the contrary, I have been doing my best to amplify and repost your own speeches, words, and posts, in particular, those you made prior to your attempting to become our mayor. I believe in the maxim to trust what the man said and did before he seeks office. Not his dismissal of things he said and did in the years prior that would make him unelectable now. I am opposed to you being mayor because your policies will be extremely damaging to NYC and all of its residents, in particular the most vulnerable New Yorkers. Your anti-NYPD defund-the-police historical advocacy will lead to an increase in crime, particularly in the poorest neighborhoods in the City. The NYPD’s confidence that the mayor has their back is critical for successful policing of crime. Recent progress on crime will be lost and greatly reversed if you become mayor. To state the obvious, being and feeling safe are critical to our city’s safety, health and vibrancy. NYC’s reputation as a place to do business is critical for companies maintaining and growing their presence here and for job growth in NYC. It is remarkable that you don’t understand that socialism is a failed economic model that has destroyed every country and city that has gone down its path. A mayor committed to socialism will be the death-knell for NYC’s economy. Construction will come to a halt. Businesses will relocate or move their expansions to other cities. Our largest tax payers will leave, decimating the tax base. You say you don’t want billionaires and other wealthy NYC residents. You will get what you ask for, and the city will suffer the deficits that come from their exodus. And yes, your unwillingness to condemn calls for a global intifada speaks volumes about you how will manage and support the diverse ethnic groups that make up our great multicultural city. It could not be more telling that your post attempts to suggest that I am opposed to you because of your religion when I have said nothing about your religion or ethnic background. Meanwhile you fail to condemn calls for the murder of Jews around the world. How would you feel if the future mayor of NYC failed to condemn calls for the murder of your people? What if he failed to condemn calls for the murder of the black community, Catholics or Hindus? Is that the mayor you would want or that NYC deserves?
