and the right hates him mostly due to his name and brown skin. Most couldn't articulate ONE thing about this man. They just know he's brown and his name threatens them due to their ignorant, bigoted views. Hell, I had a long time (former?)friend of mine expose his utter stupidity a couple days ago by saying IF Mamdani became Mayor of NYC that a mass exodus of people would be the result. I laughed in his face and told him to stop watching Faux News. He shut right up. I had long suspected he is a Repuke but we politley have never talked politics. Pissed me off. He's a retired school teacher in my kids district and he's that obtuse. Dumb ass.
