In case you weren't convinced Zohran Mamdani was awful, now he's pushing soccer. Literally, the worst.
The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live.

American decline can be directly tied to the rise in soccer's popularity. https://t.co/gqRtzT4GmL

Commies are going to commie.
people seem to have gotten World Cup tickets 20 minutes before the group stage ticket draw and are already flipping them for nearly $20,000 https://t.co/tTunAGNWAC pic.twitter.com/NLIxxzMYoR

Oh good! Mamdani's rich nepo baby friends can get tickets.
His charisma and charm are why he's dangerous. Mamdani is advancing legitimate socialist, economically illiterate policies with a warm smile. https://t.co/xV1COzHzvu

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Stadium seats are a limited resource. Capitalism solution: price system to balance supply-demand.

Under socialism, WHO decides who gets a seat? A bureaucrat.
Pricing system is MUCH MUCH fair.
Sadly, the average New Yorker won’t understand it. https://t.co/vhErvDCwA0
Literally no World Cup games will be happening in New York City. Scalping and price gouging is bad and could use some regulatory attention but this is not a person who is serious about using the actual tools government has to improve people's lives. https://t.co/w1T5BGYyss

It's like when Biden (or his handlers) worried about making a law to tamp down on Ticketmaster fees, when the biggest issue was actually people can't afford groceries.

Well, he's a Communist, so.
When you cap the price of soccer tickets, you get a shortage, and then a black market emerges, which has its own “dynamic pricing” that, unlike the kind you want to ban, isn’t susceptible to any sort of transparency or protection for buyers. Oh, the rulers get tickets for free… https://t.co/yEWEGg9Ruo

This is not a smart person who has had to experience the realities of life. He has no idea what he is talking about and wants to run one of the world's major cities.

Everything about him is so bad.
Let me get this straight. You live rent-free in a subsidized Astoria apartment as a millionaire socialist funded by your mommy’s Qatari money, vacation in a Ugandan villa with private security, and now you’re whining because you discovered that live streaming FIFA isn’t free? https://t.co/St2NThcsZ5

That about sums it up.
