An openly Democratic Socialist Candidate in the United States of America is now within striking distance of winning mayorship of the city that is the beating heart of American capitalism. In only 8 1/2 months of campaigning we have gone from 1% in the polls to now being the electoral favorite.
This is perhaps a long shot, but if you are reading this, we are still looking for people to work the phones for Zohran today and tomorrow! No requirement to live in NYC, just to have a US phone number. We have 9 different phonebanking times today and offer 27 second language options! We need all of the help we can get to win this, and every little bit helps. Please consider signing up for a shift here even if you can only make a few calls.
As somebody working for the campaign, I’m not really supposed to say this, but if you don’t feel comfortable using personally identifiable information, you can use a fake name, burner email, and Google voice number. I don’t really care. We need people working the phones. Zohran is not even above 90% name recognition yet among potential voters, and 4% of voters are still undecided. If even one of you signs up, please let me know so I can recognize you for your efforts to the community here.
I only have one real concern about Mamdani’s mayorship.
You know damn well that the porks will be conspiring to sabotage his term. False flags to artificially increase the crime rate, porks hypocritically using union tactics to band together and go on strike to achieve their demands (mass layoffs, organized wage cuts, organized rent hikes) if not flat out sic the CIA on Mamdani.
Does anyone know how Mamdani plans to defend against the inevitable bourgeoise temper tantrum if he wins?
I can talk more about this if I do an in depth breakdown for sure, but in short it’s been something we’ve been aware of and planned for
