Former AOC Supporter Issues Warning About Zohran Mamdani – Twitchy

July 5, 2025

As we approach the New York mayoral election, the momentum appears to be in Zohran Mamdani’s corner. He would be a disaster for the Big Apple because he’s a raging communist, yet affluent white New Yorkers might hand him the keys to Gracie Mansion despite that.

Now, a former AOC supporter is warning voters: Be careful what you wish for.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

A former AOC supporter has come out with a stark warning for young Big Apple voters in the wake of socialist Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic primary victory.

“If I was 25, I would’ve been obsessed with Zohran,” Lucy Biggers admits in a video she posted last week on X.

“Now I’m 35, and I’ve grown up. The feel-good promises of free college, free food, free housing might sound great, but they don’t work.”

She goes on to explain her view that socialist policies make cities poorer because rich people leave, while everyone else is left stuck with higher taxes — and little to show for it.

Here’s that post, by the way:

When I was 25, I would’ve been obsessed with Zohran Mamdani.

At 27, I helped get AOC elected. I made a viral video about her campaign, met her a bunch of times, and was totally bought in.

It continues:

I get why young people love Zohran. I really do. They’ve been indoctrinated into the belief that capitalism is the problem. They want to fight inequality, make a difference, and vote for the good guy.

But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. These policies don’t make cities fairer, they make them poorer. The people who are supposed to foot the bill leave, and the rest of us are stuck with higher taxes, more regulations, and less to show for it.

She is right. I, too, was a liberal Democrat in my youth because I got hoodwinked into believing they cared about fairness and the working class whereas the Republicans were about wealth, profits and controlling ‘the people’ via govt.

I later learned the opposite is true. https://t.co/YcdOw26B2c

This writer used to be liberal, too. Then she grew up.

I’m the same way. I was a democratic socialist back in 2018 and moved away once wokeness took over. I am 100% sure Mamdani will use race, gender and sexuality to discriminate if he’s elected mayor. https://t.co/MMrwtvE9SJ

He’s already said he’ll tax white New Yorkers more.

Young leftists should SERIOUSLY look into why lifelong leftists like Lucy Biggers (and @IsaiahLCarter & I) grew out of the society-destroying socialist pipe dreams of our youth.

Try to understand what we came to learn, rather than continuing to help ruin your cities. #Zohran https://t.co/74yY28qkET
