Zohran Mamdani pulled in almost double the funds of his nearest rivals for New York City mayor between early July and mid-August, as the candidates prepare for the crucial post Labor Day push to the November poll.

New York’s City’s campaign finance board said on Saturday that the democratic socialist, who won the Democratic party nomination in June against former state governor Andrew Cuomo, raised $1,051,200, with an average donation of $121 recorded equally from donors in and outside the state.

Didn’t have that under Obama

Yes we did. The only difference was that it was Muslims being targeted.

Go look up who it was that appointed Tom Homan.

You can't seriously be arguing that it was just as worse as it is now, even for Muslims.

Ah, I see. You prefer MLK 2's smiling fox to the snarling wolf.

Totally.

It is unfair for me to point out Obama's contributions to the fascist state. After all, he gave such great speeches.

It's unfair of you to not consider the scope and breath and intensity of the issues you discuss yes, because they are very much relevant to the people alive today even if they don't factor into your ideal world.
