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.
This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.
This is a bellwether moment.
More like a bellend moment…
Well, we’re a year late for Bell Riots.
Exactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.
If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).
It also shows how broken this country is when two groups of people can both look at this and have completely opposite reactions to it.

“We are all domestic terrorists”
They already told us who they are, and nothing they’ve done would indicate otherwise.
Deporting immigrants is one thing. But when a country starts deporting it’s own citizens, and stripping them or reducing their citizenship to justify their treatment, well… before you know it, the half-citizen deportees end up coming out of the concentration camps through the chimney.
Maybe deporting immigrants sucks. Maybe destabilizing geopolitical regions suck. Maybe we could have drawn the line way sooner, if it was abou what’s right and not about indulging bullies and slave traders.
Police brutality we can eat dinner through, but not lying about chatel slavery and torture camps anymore.
If I sound extreme, look up the state of food in U.S. prisons. If it doesn’t seem like I should care, you don’t know how many reprecussions legal, manditory, insurance redlining really had on the body and soul of the nation. It was mutilation, still visable today.
fascists gonna fascist.
“We’Re NoT fAsCiStS tHeRe ArE nO gAs ChAmBeRs! (yet)”
The only metric for them to be fascist is if there is mass murder of civilians. Unless you’re Israel of course. :/
tHeRe ArE nO gAs ChAmBeRs! (yet)
Oh but there are.
/s ?
Yeah lol the alternating caps is making fun of them for saying something absurd
SpOnGe cAsE is typically used to denote sarcasm
Deport is not wrong
Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
I wish the ironic gift of Trump’s grandfather’s German birth certificate hadn’t gone straight over the heads.
Trumpf*
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
They just take issue with brown people immigrating here.
I wish I had artistic talent. I would love to make a political cartoon of the Statue of Liberty holding a sing saying “You must be this color or lighter to enter” with a color chart X’ing out the brown and black colors leaving only white ones. With a caption stating this is the current republican immigration policy.
And to answer the inevitable: No, I refuse to use “AI”.
Reminiscent of the Family Guy Skin Color Chart
lol, they are losing it
angry ceo threatens to close grocery chain… well, that will show them 😂
If he closes wouldn’t he be out of a job? Lol
No, because Kroger is a major national chain that doesn’t need to operate in NYC to be profitable. It’s like a petulant child throwing some of his toys away because he has to share them.
Watch that be something super small time as well, like a guy who owns three convenience stores within about a mile of each other.
Those Jims are about to get Slimmer.
It’s not just Fox News. Bezo’s Washington Post ran an editorial, written by “the editorial board,” about how Mamdani would be “bad for New York and bad for the Democratic Party,” claiming he would destroy public transit, reduce the number of grocery stores, drive away big businesses, depress low-skill employment, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and of course that this would discredit all the other young candidates across the country. The WaPo’s threat earlier this year to make their editorial page aggressively pro-capitalist and anti-public-good was apparently very much in earnest.
they’re afraid.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
I don’t know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.
And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
This isn’t correct at all, but also Dems in NYC represent the rich and the slumlords, not the people that Zohran represents. Make no mistake there are tons of stories about dems melting down about Zohran as well, and senior Dem leaders in NYC like the Governor, don’t support Zohran either.
truth
A major issue that seems to be taking a back seat to racism (lets face it at this point you may as well just assume its there) is the overt posturing about taking control of the largest city in the us directly counter to the populations interest.
That’s what worries me a lot about Cuomo potentially running as an independent: the “safe seat” phenomenon might have him bolder about fracturing the vote.
Hope they are using the word “socialist” more, so people can be informed of what socialism is and on his program.
They really are afraid. Very good.
Don’t Republicans hate New York? You’d think they’d be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they’re worried something else will happen.
They love New York/Wall Street, because that’s where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.
Exactly… It’s all so rich coming from these losers who refuse to even enter NYC because Fox News told them it’s warzone or some bullshit.
Hear, hear! Excellent point.
Do Republicans Know What Communism Is?
Short answer: No.
More precise answer: They don’t have a fucking clue.
Most relevant answer: No and they don’t really care, but they will still call you a communist and kick you out of the country if you annoy them.
Edit to add archive.ph link if desired.
The first time I heard of “communists” and “socialists” was back when I was in middle school, when Bush Jr got us into war. All I did was ask why in the world we were invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden. Sincerely trying to understand the world. That’s when the already-brainwashed kids starting flinging “socialist” and “communist” like they meant the same thing as “idiot.”
So, I decided to read about those concepts to see what all the hubbub was about. Surprise surprise, when I later responded to those same kids by asking what they thought the words meant, they couldn’t answer the question.
Now I’m thinking it’s kind of like the Streisand Effect - 'Muricans don’t want you to know about how other countries run. I didn’t know about systems besides capitalism yet, until the spawn of conservatives decided to use ancient fears from the 1950s as an insult in the year 2003. Surprise surprise, now there’s a swath of Millennials (and other generations, of course) just like me who learned that if conservatives hate something, it’s worth looking into.
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.
WTF
[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was “no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote”.

The irony of using it here would be palpable
The freedest country on earth.
All citizens are free. It’s just some are free-er then others.
As a perpetually online individual I could swear that “conservatives” absolutely hated “thought crime” and political persecution for their beliefs…
Ohhhhh right, hypocrisy. I almost forgot. “Conservatives” use words as weapons and are only consistent in their inconsistent stated beliefs.

Citizenship doesn’t exist under a tyranny. There’s only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller
Basically PUBG, but with more guns
Citizenship does exist under tyranny, but instead of having rights, you get duties.
I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.
ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.
Now that the Supreme court has approved of deportations to third countries, this is actually feasible. Maybe Uganda would like to welcome them. Or perhaps Libya.
What has Uganda done to deserve such mistreatment?
They already made a similar deal with the UK to recieve asylum seekers. I’m guessing for quite a bit of money/support. So yeah, Uganda signed on for this. Not the Ugandan people off course, but Museveni is quite a POS. Also, I kind of enjoy the idea of the right wing losers in the NYYRC finding themselves as a refugee minority in a majority black country.
Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.
Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.
Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.
You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.
I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.
Bill Clinton stepped in at the last minute to endorse the Dem incumbent, yeah the establishment (which is 95% of the Democratic party) won’t be thrilled.
Clinton didn’t endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York’s former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.
Wait, who is doing this?
None that I have been able to find; probably just hearsay, or a misrepresentation of what a pundit said on cable news somewhere.
I wouldn’t be surpised if the DNC was actively looking at various rules to get rid of Zohran.
Well, most people require evidence for such bold claims.
[Gestures wildly at David Hogg]
Your lack of surprise is all the proof I needed.
The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.
They haven’t done a good job of hiding who they are since before the 101st Airborne had to escort the Little Rock Nine to school.
Become? This is who and what the cons and the Republicans are.
Don’t let anyone fool you with that “true conservative” bullshit.
It is hard to understand this as I grew up around a lot of conservatives who actually had values and decency.
If you told me even ten years ago that Republicans would be calling for US citizens to be deported I would have said you were crazy, but here we are.
I could have told you decades prior to that. I grew up in an area that was deeply, deeply red.
Sure, maybe not every conservative/Republican is overly weird about things like race, religion, and the “blood and soil” stuff…but far, far too many are.
Appalling. Only the repugnicans would stoop this low. He’s been American since 2018. If they succeed in this - the US is truly Germany in the early 1930s.
The US is already there. We arrived about 2-3 months ago.

There was an Italian socialist politician called Giacomo Matteotti who got disappeared after he spoke up against the fascist regime. It marks the turning point for the Italian dictatorship. If this century is truly a Disney bad reboot of the previous, we could be seeing some similarities with Mamdani.
I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for. Capitalists will collaborate with politicians to either have him removed or make him woefully inefficient. It will definitely be an uphill battle.
