Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor has energized a disturbing coalition of delusional activists, grievance-obsessed millennials, radical ideologues, and identity-obsessed mobs who see his candidacy not as a path to good governance, but as a vehicle to tear down the systems they’ve convinced themselves are to blame for their own failures. Here’s a look at the core groups backing this dangerous socialist—and why their support should alarm every sane voter.
The Downwardly Mobile Millennials
This group consists of overeducated 30-somethings living in overpriced Brooklyn apartments who resent the fact that they aren’t richer than their parents. Raised on the promise of upward mobility, they now embrace Mamdani’s zero-sum worldview where someone else’s success is always seen as their loss. They want rent freezes, free public transit, and taxpayer-funded groceries—not through economic growth, but by gutting the productive class.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
The DSA is Mamdani’s ideological home base. These are the folks who think Venezuela was just a good idea poorly executed and who cheer for policies that punish wealth, property ownership, and individual merit. Their obsession with “co-governance,” public ownership, and identity quotas turns every civic institution into a weapon of redistribution and division. They don’t just want to run New York; they want to remake it in the image of their failed utopias.
Muslim Identity Voters and Their Families
While many Muslim Americans vote like anyone else—based on values, economics, and safety—a segment of this group is flocking to Mamdani simply because they see a reflection of their identity. With little regard for his extremist policies or his refusal to denounce antisemitic rhetoric, they back him for being “one of us.” That’s not democracy—it’s tribal politics. And it’s dangerous.
Radical Educators and Teachers Unions
The United Federation of Teachers and similar bureaucratic dinosaurs love Mamdani for one reason: he wants to hand them unchecked power. He’s endorsed ending mayoral control of schools, expanding failed diversity mandates, and eliminating merit-based admissions. Under Mamdani, the classroom becomes a tool for indoctrination, not education—perfect for a union that already helped drive 100,000 students out of NYC schools post-COVID.
Postcolonial Academics and Far-Left Intellectuals
Finally, Mamdani’s most nauseating cheerleaders are the ivory tower theorists and radical professors—led by his own father—who see America as a colonial power to be dismantled. They worship grievance studies, view citizenship as oppression, and want to “restructure” society into something unrecognizable. Their version of “justice” is vengeance dressed in academic jargon.
Together, these groups form an echo chamber of bad ideas, all rallying behind a candidate whose hatred of capitalism, suspicion of Jews, and obsession with identity politics make him the worst possible choice for New York. If they win, the city loses.
