The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.

    Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.

    Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.

    You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.

    This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it’s war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.

    Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?

    Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.

    The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.

      They haven’t done a good job of hiding who they are since before the 101st Airborne had to escort the Little Rock Nine to school.

    This is more or less unrelated but nonetheless very important:

    Should we tell him that his makeup was swapped for a bucket of shit? I’m not sure he’s able to smell it but we can certainly see it.

        It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.

          I don’t know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.

          And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.

      It’s not just Fox News. Bezo’s Washington Post ran an editorial, written by “the editorial board,” about how Mamdani would be “bad for New York and bad for the Democratic Party,” claiming he would destroy public transit, reduce the number of grocery stores, drive away big businesses, depress low-skill employment, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and of course that this would discredit all the other young candidates across the country. The WaPo’s threat earlier this year to make their editorial page aggressively pro-capitalist and anti-public-good was apparently very much in earnest.

    As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

    I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.

    The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn’t going to be

    “Blue no matter who”

    It’s going to be

    “More green than blue or else fuck you too!”

      As an outsider looking at American politics, “blue no matter who” is a propaganda to condition Americans citizens to always accept the lesser evil, and to not bother to try to lobby or pressure their own representatives to be actually be better.

        “Blue no matter who” doesn’t mean “vote for the second worst person”. What it means is anyone who has any shred of decency isn’t a republican anymore, and republicans cannot be allowed to win at any cost, or they will very quickly backslide civil rights and start a war in the Middle East.

        I think the Dems will back Mamdani, since he’s going to win the primary. There are a lot of naysayers about the Democrats who think otherwise, it will be interesting to watch the space in the next few weeks.

        Also, if the Republican pull his citizenship then I’m going to fucking riot.

          Dems are already backing Mamdani, he already won the primary and he is himself a part of the party. Even though Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo, who served as HUD Secretary under Clinton, he had this to say about Mamdani’s victory:

          “Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future”

          ~Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States of America

      RNC promotes greens through the Badger Values PAC, the European Greens parties asked the US Greens to step down in the last election because if Harris lost then Republicans win. Can you guess how many Greens are in the US congress today? ZERO. Can you guess which party Mamdani is in? DNC.
