“Importantly, there are hundreds of million of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight (believe me, I am in the text strings and the WhatsApp groups) so that a great alternative candidate won’t spend any time raising funds. So, if the right candidate would raise his or her hand tomorrow, the funds will pour in,” he added.
Crazy how much money the rich will spend on campaigns to not have to spend it on taxes.
Ooof, he's gonna lose now, because the billionaires are gonna get scared and have their Maga goons go after him.
He's going to win, because, despite that, this sentiment is incredibly popular. Also, they already were scared of him.
Let me speak for jewish people as someone without strong feelings for religion but has spent my life in a predominantly christian culture (oh my family isn't religious we just celebrate christmas as a fun holiday) and thus am not qualified to speak for jewish people in this capacity, this is clearly anti-semitic!
