As Zohran Mamdani did a victory lap in New York City on Tuesday night, many were left wondering what and who propelled his victory forward.
It was women. Young, Gen Z women. Now, of course, any woman, when faced with voting for a guy who grabs women’s asses and a guy who eats rice with his hands would vote for the guy who eats rice with his hands-that’s a no-brainer. But, what do we make of Zohran Mamdani’s appeal with Gen Z women?
According to NBC News exit polling, among women ages 18-29, 84 percent supported Mamdani.”-Hayden Cunningham, The Post Millennial
Mamdani talked out of both sides of his face during his whole campaign. He claimed to be a “champion” for the single mom and for women in general by making New York City a more “livable” city. He also, once upon a time, wanted to defund the police. How does that make NYC safe?
Mamdani’s overwhelming support among young women comes despite his past statements about defunding the police, which could lead to increased crime. The socialist mayor-elect has been a controversial figure throughout the campaign, as his past rhetoric had included calls for abolishing the police, calling cash bail ‘racist,’ referring to violent crime as an ‘artificial construction,’ and advocating for the removal of the NYPD gang database”-Hayden Cunningham, The Post Millennial
Apparently, these women voters don’t think crime is a problem.
Among those who said crime is not a problem for them, 68 percent voted for Mamdani.”-Hayden Cunningham, The Post Millennial
Not a problem at all. It’s all good until some woman gets torched on the subway by a nutcase who should have been locked up.
But, according to The New York Times, a “newspaper” that continues to gush about Zohran Mamdani, the campaign for the democratic socialist gave Gen Z sooooo much more than a democratic socialist:
In Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, a 29-year-old welcomed new canvassing friends to his birthday gathering. In the borough’s Flatbush neighborhood, a 27-year-old fresh off a breakup gained a whole new social group. And in the East Village, a 24-year-old landed a date with another democratic socialist.”-Emma Goldberg and Benjamin Oreskes
Love brings everyone together in Bed-Stu. Zohran Mamdani is the link to a social life for these young, Brooklyn/East Village types. It’s a modern-day Sex and The City. The kids in keffiyehs are making friends. Some might even be getting laid…
…or not.
Volunteering for Mr. Mamdani’s campaign became a salve for members of a generation diagnosed by psychologists with anxiety and by the surgeon general with loneliness, whose religious affiliation is often ‘unaffiliated’ and who also apparently killed drinking and having sex.”-Emma Goldberg and Benjamin Oreskes, The New York Times
Correction: a generation largely brought to us by COVID lockdowns imposed by Democrats, who then amped up the anxiety during pandemic by sticking youngsters in front of a screen, and old people in front of journalists on the TV who recited the scripts they were given. A generation who saw the revamping of school curriculum with “lessons” telling them that it is okay to question their identity (gender) in this world, and be anxious about, like, everything. A generation of remote work. Then, they whispered in their ears that it is the government’s job to look after them in every aspect of their lives. Of course, they have NO religious affiliation. Churches were shuttered at this time. They worshipped at the government’s altar. Of course they don’t have sex. Some of them have mutilated their bodies beyond recognition and don’t have the correct parts anymore to do the actual deed. And, they killed drinking and just replaced alcohol as the drug of choice with pot.
Mr. Mamdani’s campaign events are like salsa sessions at Bronx Brewery, raves at Elsewhere in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and night markets in Corona Park, Queens.”-Emma Goldberg and Benjamin Oreskes
Oh, and the scavenger hunts!
But it isn’t only young, Gen Z women who turned out for Mamdani. Crusty, white women showed up as well to be part of the excitement:
They are freaking out. White country-club Republicans, when they see educated, brown-skinned people like you all, and like Zohran, it is a threat to their privileged position that they hold, and they see it as un-American, and they see it as an attack on their way of life.
If it was all White people here right now, it would be boring as s—. I’ve grown up in those circles. Everybody needs some spice and color in their lives. Life’s a lot better. And that’s the coolest thing about America. Americans have no culture except for multiculturalism.”-Jennifer Welch
Spoken like a true, crusty white, country-club woman who is a democrat and wants to be part of the “cool kids club”:
It feels like we’re the cool kids! (So they say.)
So, Zohran Mamdani is the “spice and color”, spoken like a true white person. The cult of personality has taken over New York City and the five Burroughs. They have enjoyed Zohran craft sessions where they’ve exchanged friendship bracelets with their new BFFs, stich-and-bitches where they made Mamdani crocheted blankets. They found love when their hands met after grabbing that bag of sour cream and onion chips at a Mamdani campaign scavenger hunt one Sunday morning in Bushwick. They will have these love stories to cherish and tell their kids should they choose not to abort ’em first.
Let’s hope they enjoy the same of the same “community” in the bread lines at an amazing Zohran grocery store.
It’s Socialism And The City. Stay tuned.

I thought the feminist movement meant that women could have all the opportunities that were once the domain of males that gave them financial independence and freedom of choice. Now they regress and have someone, in this case the government, assist them with the independence and freedom they fought so rabidly for? I fail to understand the rationale.
I have to say6 Lisa, while you and the other ladies here are the exception, the facts you have in this article do NOT make the case that the 19th amendment was a good idea…
IMO it was the Nick Fuentes vote. They both believe the same things — they love Hitler, Stalin, taking away property from people who lawfully bought it, and all problems are the fault of the Jooooos! Since that book by Hitler was read by the Muffti of Jerusalem and was adopted by Jihadis as the next chapter of the Quran and since they both believe that a woman’s place is on her back, they share fundamental values. So, it’s easy for supporters of one to support the other.
And, their life stories are similar. From privileged home lifes, one dropped out of college and the other couldn’t get admitted to the university where his Poppy is a full Professor despite lying about all his intersectional bonus points. Further, neither has ever held a real job. Incels of the World Unite!
The rats have elected their new leader,and so it goes,sigh o well…
Boroughs, not burroughs.
