People are putting their money on Democrat Zohran Mamdani to be elected the next mayor of New York City. The crypto-based prediction market, Polymarket, has Mamdani with an 82% chance of winning the upcoming NYC mayoral race. Both former mayor Andrew Cuomo and incumbent mayor Eric Adams are in single digits.

Both Cuomo and Adams won office as Democrats.
Commenters say they want Mamdani to win in the hope it will be a lesson to New Yorkers.
I hope NYC does elect this guy.

They deserve everything that comes after, and it will serve as an example of what not to elect.
Looks like you are going to get your wish.

Every decade or so Socialism needs to be given another chance if only to remind ourselves how much it sucks and we should never do it again.

I live in CA and can guarantee that the people who elect him will never admit they made a mistake. I live with idiots like that who swear the dems are doing a great job. pic.twitter.com/Ecy6F1CNpq

If there’s anything we know about Democrats, especially the far left ones, it’s that they cannot learn. They’ll just double down on their insanity.
Commenters are still surprised New Yorkers are choosing Mamdani. How can they be blind to what a horrible candidate he is?
82%? New York really looked at crime, filth, and bankruptcy and said, “Yes, please — but make it faster.”

Leaders in the D party need to do some soul-searching. There is a reason people are rejecting their leadership and are turning to a radical.

They searched, and no souls were found. Several Democrats are expectedly letting their communist flag fly for Mamdani. Senator Elizabeth Warren is a fan, and DNC Chair Ed Martin says the Democrat Party tent is big enough for communists like Mamdani.
Posters are urging non-Democrats to escape from New York. Hey, wasn’t that a Kurt Russell movie?
People have to start making plans now to leave NYC if he actually wins the election.

The city will fall fast under his insane policies.
Many already have.

Leave? Why would they leave?? It’s going to be a socialist utopia, dontchaknow?

If they didn’t leave under deBlasio, they’re not going anywhere.
— Larry Wilson (@LarryGiants) August 13, 2025
Bill de Blasio was bad. So expect a lot of talk of moving out, but many will stay in hopes of a better mayor in four years. Spoiler: that’s not going to happen.
Some are confused about the difference between polls and the odds market.
And Hillary was polling at 90%+

Are we back to trusting polls
This is the odds market, not polls. Real money on the line.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) August 13, 2025
Poly market is a pretty good predictor because people are betting $ anonymously so there’s no social pressure to lie in favor of a more popular opinion. I can tell you I’m voting for Hillary, at no cost, lose the election and still retain social cred and have no consequences.

NYC has more than its fair share of village idiots so this poll might be pretty accurate.
— Seize Liberty (@leja999) August 14, 2025
Not a poll, but we get what the poster is saying. New York City and Mamdani feel like they’re on a collision course. We don’t see him losing. Conservatives fled years ago. It’s a blue city, and the people there are just that stupid. Stupid enough to vote en masse for a communist.
