The Issue: Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s endorsement for Zohran Mamdani.
So Bill de Blasio, aka Mayor de “Bozo,” endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor and tried to explain his decision in a guest article for The Daily News (“DeB’s damning endorsement,” Sept. 3).
He could’ve saved the ink and the paper by just saying, “The only reason I’m endorsing him is because he’s an idiot just like me. Birds of a feather flock together.”

You heard it right from the mouth of the worst mayor in New York’s history: Zohran Mamdani has the right ideas.
So, if you want to continue the decline of your city, with more crime and dysfunction put into action by Warren Wilhelm Jr.
(“Bill de Blasio”), run out and vote for him.

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio is doubling down on stupid by endorsing self-identified socialist Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York City.
Mamdani’s proposal for free bus rides, government-run groceries, defunding of the police and the use of social workers to respond to street violence might send “tingles” down de Blasio’s leg, but should send fear down the spines of taxpaying New Yorkers.
After watching the rapid decline of the city since the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations, I have no doubt that four years of Mamdani will chase large employers and high-income earners out of New York, and their tax dollars will go with them.
Without its tax base, New York City will collapse and with it, Mamdani’s socialist experiment.

I am surprised that it took de Blasio so long to endorse Mamdani.
Those two are taking New Yorkers down a road of disaster — first with the old policies from de Blasio and now the new policies that Mamdani will try to get in.
I hope that the Democratic voters are smart enough to see where this is all going.
Then again, they voted for the putz twice.

The trouble with many political jokes like Joe Biden, Bill de Blasio and Zohran Mamdami is that they often get elected.
New Yorkers, think long and hard about your vote in November’s mayoral election.

The Issue: New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s announcement that he will not seek re-election.
Rep. Jerry Nadler’s retirement from Congress provides an opportunity for Democrats to inject some young blood into their national leadership (“Nadler is calling it quits,” Sept. 2).
The party has some young leaders across the country with more moderate views, such as Gov. Wes Moore, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. John Fetterman.
Unfortunately, those individuals are being pushed to the back by the party’s extreme AOC-Mamdani-wing.

Your piece hailing Rep. Nadler’s decision to forgo a re-election campaign obscures political reality (“Jerry Nadler’s Bold Example,” Editorial, Sept. 3).
Nadler scrambled to immediately endorse Mamdani after the latter’s primary win, notwithstanding that his own Judaism and prior support for Israel — which is now at best lukewarm — contrasted with Mamdani’s ignorant, frenzied hatred for the Jewish state.
He thought it would forestall the ascendancy of the far-left in the Democratic Party and allow him to retain his House seat without a primary challenge.
He was quickly disabused of that notion and realized that the sort of liberalism prevalent in his generation is now seen as antithetical by the likes of Mamdani and Alexandrioa Ocasio-Cortez.
