The Issue: Extremist DSA-NYC positions that DSA member Zohran Mamdani refuses to repudiate.
It’s no surprise that Zohran Mamdani is avoiding detailed questions about his socialist agenda. If you already have a hook in the fish’s mouth, why tell it you’re going to eat it for dinner (“You can run but you can’t hide!” Aug. 29)?
Mamdani’s platform — driven by the socialist lens of equality for all — promises free stuff and radical reforms. But his policies would suppress law enforcement, hinder capitalism and stifle economic growth.
Mamdani, heaven forbid his election, would be the last nail in the coffin for New York City.

New Yorkers must ask themselves if they really want a socialist who wants to control grocery stores, overtax businesses and the middle class and ultimately drive everyone out of the city.

The content of Mamdani’s manifesto is now public knowledge. If these revelations don’t rattle the public, then nothing will.
Nonetheless, his run for mayor shows many parallels to the condensed Kamala Harris campaign: short on meaningful substance and weighed-down with far-fetched policies.
My prediction is that Mamdani will achieve the same result as Harris and slip into the realm of obscurity.

Kudos to The Post for enlightening its readers with Mamdani’s socialist agenda. Keep up the pressure and hopefully a light bulb will go off in his young supporters’ heads.
Mamdani is a snake-oil salesman who uses young voters as useful idiots.

When my 6-year-old grandson saw Zohran on the cover of the New York Post, he asked me, “Grandpa, who’s that crazy guy?” Well, out of the mouths of babes.
Every legal, eligible voter in New York City should read The Post’s article on the leftist looney who wants to be mayor. The fact that socialism has never worked anywhere doesn’t seem to have seeped into the pea-brains of the fools who support this nut.
If Mamdani is elected, everyone in the city can take a free bus to the free grocery store and hope they make it home safely, because all the criminals will be roaming the streets.

The Issue: Miranda Devine’s column calling out Minneapolis politicians’ approach to crime.
Miranda Devine is right in saying Minnesota’s three stooges — Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and state Attorney General Keith Ellison — “find political profit in chaos and disorder” (“Dems’ latest Minny horror,” Aug. 28).
Of course, the woke social-justice-warrior crowd will have crickets to say about the Annunciation Catholic School shooter’s descent into transgender fanaticism.
“It’s the guns,” they say like clockwork. For sure, common-sense gun control measures must be enacted — but sick, evil people are the ones who pull those triggers.

Yet again, the elephant in the room will not be addressed: the mental illness of a transgender lunatic.
This aberration didn’t occur overnight; it followed years of a dysfunctional upbringing.
Devine’s message to the sickening leftist Minnesota politicians and those who laud them is simple: Do the lives of these murdered children matter?
The Minneapolis police force is half of what it should be just because of the Democrats in charge.
