These Billionaires Have Already Spent $19 Million in a Bid to Defeat Mamdani

The flailing tantrum this guy is causing brightens my day a bit. I can’t vote for him from Iowa, but we’ll be watching
Man, I love to see billionaires throwing money at things. Makes it real easy to see where their fears are.
Understand its about how Mamdani isn’t going to follow their demands. They would rather a criminal be in power that ignores your needs over theirs than anyone else.
And yet he’s still ahead.
Anything to prevent government ***for*** the people…
Boy, billionaires sure do spend a lot of money to not pay taxes.
All this just to avoid paying taxes.
I don’t even like Mamdani that much, but the other candidates are so bad and the anti-Mamdani people are so terrible.
$19m total, from multiple billionaires?
That is such a small amount of money to them, it’s laughable. Billionaires should not exist.
Sad part to me is 19 million is peanuts compared to even $1 billion
$19 million to not pay their fair share of taxes
$19MM is 1.9% of $1B. This is roughly the equivalent of $1500 to someone making $80k.
And it’s spread across multiple people with multiple billions, so all said and done they’re not really putting that much money in.
You would think the average New Yorker would get some real though as to why there is a smear campaign against this guy and any other politician that wants billionaires to pay a larger share of taxes.
It’s OK. Mamdani just needs to court a few *good* billionaires. /s
I may not live there, but 3/4 of my family is from NYC, and this level of corruption just makes me sick. I really hope Mamdani wins.
Just proves establishment or Billionaires can’t defeat you if you have a real populist movement behind you.
The more that spend, the more powerful he becomes
I hope he uses that fact as part of his campaign.
All men are created equal. Equal votes. Donations should be capped to what everyone can afford
Directors founders etc of
Airbnb
Bloomberg
Doordash
Estée Lauder
Third Point Hedge fund
Loews Corporation
IAC and Expedia Group
Fox News
hedge fund Citadel
Walmart
chairman of Netflix
James and Kathryn Murdoch
Glenn Dubin, a hedge fund billionaire (and Epstein associate)
Are mentioned in the rambling tedious article, no list as such
And some of them have donated to Democrat party too.
Maybe someone else can better summarise
Or correct where I have misinterpreted too.
Well god forbid someone that wants to help the working class or should I say working poor gets elected. We can’t have that they might get a leg up on the ladder no no no we can’t that
That’s like me and a few friends scraping together $45
> Airbnb reported a $5 million donation to Affordable New York, a group that has spent heavily on city races and reported spending $1.3 million opposing Mamdani and his progressive ally, city comptroller Brad Lander.
Airbnb existing makes New York less affordable. A non-ironic Affordable New York would curtail Airbnb’s operations
So instead of using that money to help NYC, they chose to flush it down the drain
If millionaires are working against it means it’s good for the rest of us.
19m is like us donating 5 bucks lol, tax the rich so they cant buy elections anymore please.
They should spend their money more altruistically instead of pitching a hissy fit.
There is more to come
I think all of this is actually increasing Mamdani’s support. It’s obvious anyone that inspires this level of hatred from the establishment is a good thing.
Hey maybe instead of just throwing money at the problem they could have recruited a better candidate? One who isn’t a reviled sex pest who the city hated (hated!) while he was governor forever or a Republican?
Like, I frankly don’t care for Mamdani at all, but look at my options!
I’m hoping this backfires spectacular – showing the working class just how the non working billionaire class wants them kept down.
Upstate NY — we LOVE ZOHRAN!!! No more uniparty madness or fascist regime. Real policy since the 1960s! Let’s go!!!
Turns out they do have extra money for taxes
My racist ex lives in NYC. We still chat once in a while. Last time we spoke a couple weeks ago I asked her what she thinks of Mamdani. She went off on a tirade about how he wants Sharia law and if he’s elected will tank property values city wide. Also said anyone, kids especially, crossing the border illegally should be mowed down with automatic weapons. I shit you not. She was never that bad when we were together, but the tendencies were always there. Good thing she doesn’t vote.
Billionaires would rather millions on a failing campaign rather than fix the subway system
Money needs to get out of politics.
When we finally get the chance to do this over for America with democracy 2.0, I really think we need [among many other things] to protect our votes by getting rid of things like Citizens United and the electoral college.
Love watching billionaires wasting their money
