Zohran Mamdani is a progressive candidate similar to past Bernie Sanders. He is running for mayor in New York against big establishment figures such as Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran has a massive online hype campaign behind him right now.

Hope they win.

I hope he gets in if he isn't evil. My town's mayor is fucking evil and its obvious as soon as he's off camera. Our guy is especially good at tricking the elderly into voting for him then worsening their living conditions every time.

He isn't. Zohran supports BDS.

The most surefire way to filter out carreer politicians is to look who dares to oppose the Israel lobby.

What is BDS? Duckduckgo and Wikipedia weren't very helpful.

Boycott, Divest, Something...

At least, given the context, it's somehow related to supporting Palestine.

Zohran Mamdani has buzz and some momentum in New York City’s mayoral race. But can a 33-year-old democratic socialist — or anyone else — beat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary?
