I loved your flaming red essay... equal parts rage, righteous indignation, and Talmudic flair. If the revolution doesn’t come soon, you might just incite it with your keyboard. Honestly, you should run for office. Hell, I’d canvass for you just to hear more of your campaign speeches that start with “First, some good communist Jewish music…” Hysterical...
I too like Mamdani. He’s the only candidate who sounds like he could show up at a city council meeting wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt and quoting both Marx and Moshe from the deli. I’m not sure if he’ll win, but I’m absolutely sure he’ll terrify all the right people — bankers, bureaucrats, park ave brunchers...
Your line about rich liberals being the “most irksome, infuriating people G-d ever put on this planet” may be the most concise obituary for the Democratic machine since Jimmy Breslin stopped writing. I almost spit out my overpriced, under-seasoned kale salad reading about the 200 dollar walk shorts. All hail to Temu.com Alibaba n Wish.
And i have to say, your ode to antisemitism, part gallows humor, part bitter realism, part Talmudic koan left me shaken and weirdly stirred. The Sedar egg bit? Iconic. You’ve singlehandedly rebranded persecution as spiritual CrossFit.
Look, your essay reads like Allen Ginsberg had a baby with Philip Roth and sent it to a Yiddish socialist summer camp or camp Modin in the pristine wilderness of Maine 🤣 It’s furious, fearless, and more than a little fabulous.
Run, David run... If not for mayor, then for archbishop of our collective conscience. And if Mamdani ever needs a ghostwriter or a back alley prophet, I know just the guy...

I would nominate you for King
