Everyone has heard of the Never Trump Republicans and now we have the Never Mamdani Democrats! Their reason range from ones I have thought of to those much more important in different cultural circles like the ability of African Americans to own private property driving people to New York City.
The fact that a quarter of people are thinking about moving away if he wins is another wild statistic. Even within his own party in New York City a little under 33% of Democrats who believe his mayoralty could pose an issue for the Big Apple. It's people spanning a wide array of beliefs, backgrounds, values, etc.
It's a very interesting article telling a bit about the persons background and then what is the issue and why that is. A lot of these issues he is running on might sound good on paper but when put into practice don't work….
He's just the male AOC. He's gonna talk a big socialist game but when the money starts rolling in he's gonna be a donor puppet just like everyone else.

US 'democracy' is a joke- its crony capitalism and the corporate sponsors have dictated policy for at least 50 years now.
Better perhaps to have a CCP Heavens Mandate system where if the ruling party fails to deliver they literally risk their necks!?

The growing inequality in USA is a huge problem. Trump is making it even worse. It will result in USA becoming increasingly divided within, dysfunctional and ultimately unable to maintain its wealth power and global hegemony. The best economy is a mixed one with a government directing capital toward strategic economic drivers and supply chains like rare earths and power generation and free enterprise existing within that state directed strategic framework.

Good government is fundamental to the wealth of nations.
USA cannot go to war without rare earths supply.
Trump is misusing his position of power to enrich himself and his cronies.
Nepotism and cronyism symptomatic of an empire in decline.
The masses will find Mamdanis more egalitarian and principled approach attractive!
