The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

        Ah, you’re making the mistake of thinking we have free and fair presidential elections. We do not. It’s fucked.

          I don’t know any R voter who has a single bad thing to say about what’s going on right now. I haven’t seen one online either. (except those saying it’s not going far or fast enough) I peek at /r/conservative every so often and it’s nothing but cheerleading.

          And nothing happening right now is a surprise to anyone who wasn’t trying not to see it.

          They are cool with it, or it’s not a dealbreaker, at best.

            I know plenty of folks… and social media and youtube has a LOT of outspoken Republicans that don’t like Trump. I mean, this is not a small number either. I even met some at the NOKINGS protest.

            I’ve seen several regretful Trump voters in news articles.

            But yeah, haven’t met any IRL either. Including my own parents.

      Matters little if that “very small group” has power and is getting away with it

      “Sure the numbers are really bad and it keeps happening but…”

      I’m gunna need you to shut your stupid fucking mouth. The US is a dangerous hellhole and no amount of deflection will override the fact that the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world. The reason you personally suck isn’t because you’re from the US, it’s because you’re trying to save yourself by downplaying the severity of what the country is doing. Be better.

          You don’t need to live the US to know about it, and actually it makes it a lot easier because you aren’t dealing with their shitty education system or the propaganda. Besides, I’m Canadian, and have to deal with that pile of garbage all the damn time.

          Get outta here acting like I can’t judge the US because I’m not in it. Get right outta here.

          You’ve probably never lived in the USA. From the sound of it.

          I’ve lived here going on 60 years, in multiple parts of the country, in about ten different states. I’m also a veteran.

          the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world.

          100% accurate, whether that other commenter lives here or not.
