Why Zohran Mamdani Cannot be mayor of New York.

Despite his current political momentum, Mamdani's agenda represents a dangerous experiment on the nation's largest city. His core proposals, including a rent freeze on nearly a million units, fare-free city buses, and city-run grocery stores are rooted in a socialist ideology that has failed everywhere it has been tried. As Republican strategists have warned, a Mamdani victory would provide a national platform for the radical left. His success would be cited as proof that Democratic Socialism can win, emboldening the most extreme elements of the Democratic Party and pushing national politics further left, Perhaps the most troubling aspect of Mamdani's candidacy is his unwavering hostility toward foundational American values and institutions, manifesting in statements and policy positions that can only be described as unpatriotic.The stakes could not be higher. New York City, and by extension the nation, cannot afford a mayor who is more interested in ideological warfare than in good governance. -Conservative Current 2025
