He got over 50% of the vote. Second closest was 8 points away. These are mandate numbers.
The NYC "elite" better get in line. They have no ground to stand on.

US’s far left marxist socialist is decent countries centrist parties, the difference being their populations know how to fight to get what they want

Red is a symbol of communism, anyone wearing a red hat is a communist and allied with Russia and China

There were those "better Russian than democrat" t-shirts floating around...

When you don't know what socialism is, so you call it communism because you don't know what that is either.

This should be considered slander. It's totally baseless.
You know, if they did something equivalent like this to Trump, showing a big fat orange caricature of a bloated nasty looking King with a "Proud Fascist" flag, Trump would immediately sue them.
iRegretThisUsernameAlready
At this point I would expect Trump himself to post it. He's already posting videos of him shitting on American cities.

I can't imagine newspapers still generate enough revenue that supermarkets can't live without them on the shelves.

It's pure profit for them, the papers collect all the unsold copies.

Boomers love spending money on that shit.

Yes but I still can't imagine any grocery chain seeing a noticeable dip in profits if suddenly they remove all newspapers.
ZackWester
you be suprised. that said seller of news paper dont make a ton of money but its more that peaple go there buys the news and buys a piece of cheap coffee that the store charge way to much for for what it is.
ReverseSyzygy
bonus: it sold out: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/06/zohran-mamdani-new-york-post
$355 on eBay. But this one, sold by the paper itself? lmao, ok https://shop.nypost.com/products/red-apple-metal-print

High taxes (on the rich), free stuff (paid for by those taxes and distributed to those who need it), hating Israel (which is a genocidal dictatorship) and 'vibes' (a scary word you don't know that all the Youths keep using that could mean ANYTHING OOooOOooOoOOOO!!!!)

Do they not know the difference between Socialism and Communism, or do they assume the public doesn't?
merxman
Both
NaughtButOne
It's a pretty safe assumption. For most people, the two are synonyms. Even around here, a lot of people believe one is just the 'baby' form of the other.
grasshopperlj
Yep. I have nice ignorant people who listen when I explain and say, "Why aren't we taught this in school?" so, I mean, that's kind of hopeful?
DnT64
The second one, I believe...
circlebreaker
It's not that they're too stupid to tell the difference, it's that they don't care to distinguish while slinging mud. The bullshit on their rhetoric is off the fucking charts.
Suomijuusto89
Even the Soviet Union didn't know the difference between socialism and communism.
0xBADA55
Yes
Snooj
The difference? They couldn't even tell you what they are to begin with.
taez555
The paper is owned by Rupert Murdoch. They know exactly what they're doing.
daguq
They know very well. It's just that the word Communism is still, since the 1950s, a trigger word for the hard of thinking.
RubberMonkeys
My mom passed away in September. My brother and I got into the day she did because I hadn't spoken to him in like ten months. At one point he grabs the copy of Mao's Manifesto I purposely left out, and yells at me "Are you a communist?!" I just started laughing and yup pretty much. It's the same as the time I bought and left out a Wiccan handbook when he first started getting really into conservative christianity. I'm normally not a petty person, though with him I can be.
ViperMD
You. I like you. Also sorry for your loss.
RubberMonkeys
Thank you.
RufusPimperton
Boomers were actively told it was better to blow up the world 16x over rather than give Communism (and its gateway drug socialism) an inch. Then one day the threat just stopped without pageantry or climax. I firmly believe cold war babies have a generational PTSD that's still waiting for the bomb to drop, and it's been successfully exploited by media groups for decades.

NYC banks and trading firms have benefited from socialism for years. They don't want to share it.

Socialism for them, sir. It's social darwinism for *you*.

"Subsidy" is just another kind of socialism.
Sticklebrickk
Receiving any monetary amount from the government is literally socialism. Tax breaks are socialism. Food stamps are socialism. Giving extra eggs to your neighbors is socialism.
sometimesidontevenknowwhyibother
In America, the word socialism does not mean the government owns the means of production, but rather from when white opponents of Black voting insisted that the money to pay for programs like schools redistributed wealth. They demanded an end to the taxes that supported public programs - Heather Cox Richardson
RedStarVidal
Tree-fiddy the means of production.
Eyeetsass
Literally welfare. If SNAP is welfare a subsidy is worse. It’s a reward for working on shit nobody wants, or needs.
cytherians
Oh, and I'm not saying socialism is a bad thing. It actually works better than capitalism in the long run, and it's certainly far better than communism.

Wasn't New York Post a real newspaper? Basically a tabloid at this point.

TheBigBadBonerBiter
NY Post has been a conservative rag for as long as I can remember. My theory as to why people don't know this is because they show up innocuously in the backgrounds of a shitload of media so viewers probably assume they're "just another newspaper".
whereismymind86
nah it's been garbage for a very long time
calenti
The Post is basically the NYC National Enquirer. Used toilet paper with ads.
eetsumkaus
NY Post has been gossip and tabloids as far as I can remember. Maybe way back when it was first founded it was a serious paper.
cytherians
It was a real newspaper back in the 20th century... at least until the 1980's, when they shifted to more of a tabloid format. Since the Bush years, it has declined... and now, it's no better than The National Enquirer.
Misteree8
As far as ive know. It was treated as the most base newspaper. The writing is middle school level and so is its tendency to dramatize the subjects they cover. Its goes from bottom to top; NY post>daily news>NY times and Wall Street Journal.
taez555
Founded in 1801, it was a very respected paper for a long time. It switched over to a tabloid format in 1943 when Dorothy Schiff took over. The biggest change, which cut off all credibility, was in 1976 when Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp purchased it. So..... for most the majority of the living population on earth, there has never been a time in their life when it was a real newspaper.

I'm 40 years old and I can't remember a time when they had a single shred of legitimacy.
Theshnazzyone
no, always tabloid. Notorious for it in fact. For the life of me I just assume people online who aren't very knowledgeable on news started confusing it for the new york times. No clue why people share around their incendiary headlines when they are and always have been a trash outlet. The proper thing to do when they publish shit like this is ignore it and never share it.
onlyhalfghost
people also love to share the Daily Mail, so I think maybe people are just really bad at source evaluation.
InfocalypseRising
It's been owned by Rupert Murdoch for decades. LONG time since it was anything but a fash rag.

Fetish Rag for Right Wingers. :)
PoliticalWanderer
Rupert Murdoch (same guy who owns Fox News and literally hundreds of other far right news outlets and newspapers around the world) bought it sometime in the 70s or 80s, I think.
jaggcomputing5
Murdoch is an arsehole.

The Times cheered for invading Iraq so hard...
Selfinflictedwounds
Yes, but you have to go back a really, really, really long time for that. Mostly its be a tabloid/newspaper blend.
But, since 1976, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has owned it. Keep it more far right tabloid, other NewsCorp divisions cite for credibility in their reporting. Because that makes it more credible and true...
BeachsideBarghest
Fuck Murdoch, I hope he dies angry and alone.

For average poorly educated American, who is also brainwashed by propaganda, communism and socialism is the same. They can't tell the difference
alt1387
Hes not even a socialist. Americans are brainwashed

Communism and socialism are scary words for those that don't know their meaning. i've learned that almost all murican's associate both words with fascism.

I thought the Billionaires and Magites liked Russia and the Oligarchs?
PhailRaptor
He's not, but they can't tell the difference. Even if they could, they've been programmed to hate anything they don't understand. Which, given the state of education, is kind of a lot...
mercyPandaRunner
They can tell the difference. They don't want to.
NaughtButOne
It doesn't... say 'communist' anywhere in this post?
StewedTomaters
There's a fucking hammer and sickle right there, lol
ViperMD
No but the "newspaper" is using communist imagery, because the US far right, tend to be wilfully ignorant. Things like facts, reasoning and basic human decency don't get in the way of a good ragebait headline and imagery.
Molvanian
It does have overt references to the soviety union though.
NaughtButOne
Which was not communist.
Qaetan
Please crack open a history book. I beg of you.
NaughtButOne
The USSR consolidated public resources and wealth under a central authority, who managed it in lieu of "the people". That is ... basically as textbook 'socialist' as it gets. It doesn't matter what the party called themselves.
Rogahar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_and_sickle
NaughtButOne
Yes, and your article says it was adopted as the state symbol for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It's more widely recognized as a symbol of the USSR than anything to do with communism - outside of propaganda, anyway.
Rogahar
NaughtButOne
Yes, and Wikipedia also says the swastika "is a symbol used in various Eurasian religions and cultures, as well as a few African and American cultures". It doesn't matter what Wikipedia says it is. The hammer and sickle is associated with the USSR - a purportedly socialist organization, thus why it was used while calling him a socialist.
StewedTomaters
If you're describing the hammer and sickle as something other than the symbol that communist parties adopted as their own, you're ignoring history. The fasces weren't an originally fascistic symbol either. But we live in 2025.
