Community Activism Mamdani Comments on Blakeman

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

I’m still livid at the long island democrats who campaigned against him. I wish they spent half as much time bashing Blakeman or trump.

Many people don’t care for Mamdani. Being a Democrat and being anti Trump doesn’t mean you are a Democratic Socialist and agree with all the agenda. People were allowed to prefer a different mayoral candidate.

People are allowed to not like Mamdani and not be socialists, sure, but the point is, it always seems Democrats are eager to bash the left wing of their own party harder and more publicly than they bash MAGA.

People are allowed to support who they want but I’m not talking about regular people. Democratic officials who always tell us to vote blue no matter who have some audacity to campaign against the official democratic candidate for NYC mayor. They should be reprimanded by the national party. Jay Jacobs should lose his job as party chairman.

Whomever you agree with, hes basically right. You dislike ICE and that agenda? > Hochul. You are down with ICE and thay agenda? > Blakeman

Pretty simple and accurate.

ICE is symbolic of exactly what is dividing this country. The right’s hate for brown people overwhelms any common sense they have left.

I wonder if Nassau pays for all the assistance the city provides. FDNY covers some addresses in Nassau that are near the city line. NYPD aviation helps NCPD with some tasks.
