Let the Streets Flow with Blood

     Advocate of rent control and $30 minimum wage
     Free public transportation! Zohran Mamdani’s a media-appointed Sage

         For all illegal immigrants, full privileges and rights
         Defund the police, let NYC’s streets flow with blood every night

     O, how excited New Yorkers are about this fresh-faced progressive
     They won’t dare complain about everything there will be less of

Just being called, Zohran, should bar any candidate from office. Now, Zorro, that's a different prospect.

Now that's an idea! I think it should be seriously considered in Tammany Hall, or whatever they call NYC's hall of shame these days. ~ Gershon

Heh-heh. The highways will be jammed-packed. Hochul will 'quick-pass' an 'exit tax,' of course.

Hey, Ilene. Mamdani's the biggest story nationwide, with the possible exception of Iran/Israel... Ready to flee to Chicago? Don't bother. We've got Brandon 'Teachers-Union-Slave-and-Socialist' Johnson in charge here. But the pushback against him is pretty intense most of the time, thankfully. ~ Gershon
