The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    “Sure the numbers are really bad and it keeps happening but…”

    I’m gunna need you to shut your stupid fucking mouth. The US is a dangerous hellhole and no amount of deflection will override the fact that the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world. The reason you personally suck isn’t because you’re from the US, it’s because you’re trying to save yourself by downplaying the severity of what the country is doing. Be better.

        You’ve probably never lived in the USA. From the sound of it.

        I’ve lived here going on 60 years, in multiple parts of the country, in about ten different states. I’m also a veteran.

        the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world.

        100% accurate, whether that other commenter lives here or not.
