NYC Mayoral race…

[Lartinos]

If this guy wins, I’m moving to New York for free food, rent, electricity, and water.

Sounds like a campaign the Cuban’s would run.

Cubans tend to vote republican.

What population in New York?

Mostly Muslim or? What happened to the Italians?


Why are they picking that Mayor?

Muslims aren't the problem, if anything, they're more conservative than Whites in the State or City. There aren't enough conservatives left in the State to make it go hard Red, but a centralist Republican or a slightly right leaning Democrat can win sometimes depending on the mood of the City and how they connect to the people.

The Republicans haven't ran anyone that connected with the majority of the City in years (Adams changes his affiliation easily, depending on his and the city's mood). Meanwhile, the Muslim fellow is connecting with the poor, the young, etc..... that all want to believe in this vision of of a cheaper New York without asking how he's actually going to do it.

Curtis is the Republican candidate. I like him, and think he'd do well in some official capacity, but he doesn't have a shot at being Mayor. He's a 70 year old White guy, and a lot of folks also see him as a decent, sweet man, but goofy -

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani defends eating rice with hands amid heated cultural debate

When New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was seen on video casually scooping up rice with his fingers earlier this year, some criticized him for his unusual eating habit.

The short video clip sparked online debate about culture, class and proper etiquette for eating certain foods.

Some pushed back on this: If eating rice with one's hands is odd, why isn't eating pizza or a burger perceived that way?

"I have to eat with my hands," the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, who was born in Uganda, told Bon Appétit in June. "In Uganda, we even eat salad with our hands."

After the video surfaced on social media, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, took to X to criticize Mamdani, "Civilized people in America don't eat like this. If you refuse to adapt to Western customs, go back to the Third World."

Whether it's in Mamdani's birthplace of Kampala, Uganda, or in his home in New York City, the way someone eats carries meaning and method, BEX Kitchen executive chef Becky Geisel told Fox News Digital.

"When you're eating with your hands, it's about texture and sensory and temperature and quality," the New Jersey-based chef said.

She said eating rice by hand is prevalent in African cultures.

"They do have an etiquette with using their hands," she said. "You use your right hand to eat with and then you use your left hand to pass the food with — and there's always a washing before and after."

By doing so, "they're slowing down their eating process as well, which digestively would be a good thing, so you're just not inhaling all this food," she said.

A video clip recently shared by the Facebook page End Wokeness has Mamdani saying opponents' "No. 1 issue is whether or not I eat biryani with my hands."

Weird for sure, and maybe it could be argued it’s apart of a larger problem with him in general, but this is a small issue when there are so many more real ones with this guy.
