22. After the terrorist attacks in DC and Boulder, where Jews were targeted for the nerve of existing as Jews in public...

... Mamdani still defends the "globalize the intifada" phrase. New York has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel.

There is a legitimate question whether due in New York City would be safe under Mamdani. If I still lived in New York, I would put Cuomo in a ranked-choice vote. I wouldn't even consider it if Mamdani weren't a factor.

Your Jewish fellow citizens right now are worried that they exist safely as Jews because we are squeeze between Donald Trump and the antisemitic thugs and his administration and people who celebrated the largest massacre of Jews in a single day since the holocaust and don't think it's a big deal when a candidate for mayor of New York City defends rhetoric that calls for the killing of Jews worldwide. Which is why I am now moderate and not progressive.
