New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.

The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

He has also emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. Now, days before New York’s primary elections,

          How about China lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years between 2010 and 2020? Seems pretty significant if you ask me.

            What a useless fucking conversation.

            I’m treating this conversation like I’m a Uyghur in China and I won’t be seen again.

              We know what genocide looks like. It’s inescapable. You can’t have a secret genocide. There would be evidence of genocide if there was genocide. I can’t believe this has to be explained to adults

                I can’t believe that the people positioning themselves as anti-genocide melt down if you mention Ukraine or Uyghurs.

                Let me guess the only ethical genocide is my genocide?

                    What are your views on the genocides happening in Ukraine and to the Uyghurs?

                    For the record I believe Israel is doing horrible things to all their neighbors right now and their genocide in Palestine is inexcusable.
