Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City, supported defunding the police (as Gotham City crime spiked and the NYPD’s roster dwindled); he wants to institute government-run grocery stores, provide “free” buses, “free” child care, and freeze rent hikes. He’s refused to recognized Israel as a Jewish state and declined to condemn the Holocaust.
So, of course he’s got the backing of Hollywood celebrities.
I don’t say this lightly:

Andrew Cuomo, who’s also currently running for NYC mayor, in a 2018 gubernatorial race) race a full-throated endorsement of Mamdani as she hiked to her polling station to cast her vote for him.
