@brianarmstrong this is a bad take. I would love to know specifically what about the policies proposed by Mamdani would inhibit "economic freedom" in a way that would harm the poorest people in society.

Are 5 publicly owned grocery stores going to prevent someone from going to a private grocery store? No

Are free buses going to stop someone from taking a cab, riding a bike or driving their own car? No

And so on and so forth...

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic

Well said. Socialism ultimately harms the poorest people in society the most (while being marketed as a way to protect them). Economic freedom is required for all societal progress. Every generation has to learn this lesson, sometimes the hard way, as it is a counter-intuitive

“socialism is bad” is always professed by the wealthy, not the poor.

True, but they don't always explain their opposition as this kind of lip service to trickle down economics.
