Another reason why we cannot fix ourselves

The New York City democratic primary for mayor was Andrew Cuomo’s to lose. The 67-year-old career politician was polling ahead for months and had support from billionaires, unions and old-guard Democrats like Bill Clinton.
Instead, the city overwhelmingly voted for Zohran Mamdani, a formerly little known Queens assemblyman and self-described socialist, in one of the city’s biggest political upsets in decades.

How can this end well?

Nothing says it can’t end well quite like “Cuomo, a moderate”

I’m not sure how the doesn’t rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic?
I know some people who live in New York City are immune to what it costs to live in New York City,
but this will squeeze the heck out of a lot of Millionairs and on a whole New Level.
This Guy is such a Socialist that Democrats will Vote Republican to avoid the Mass Casualties.

End well for who is the Q. For NYC? Probably not. For a future GOP candidate? Very possible. Low bar as it is, best they can do now is Adams again as an independent.

I’m in my Mid-60’s andd I never thought I would live to see the day the Democratic Party ceased to exist, but here we are and no matter how old you are, you’re standing here watching the wheels fall off of the entire Party before our very eyes.
But when you’re a Communist and have to call yourself a Socialist in order to appease a bunch of Rich. Upper Middle Class Liberals with White Guilt who think Socialism is better than Communism, the Democratic Party is done.

Amos couldn’t happen to a nicer place, and Trump won’t bail them out.

Don’t count on it. If there is one thing I have learned is that democrats do not correlate their government-induced problems to their voting habits. They think their problems are always caused by not voting hard enough Left. The best we can hope for is that Adams wins reelection in the general election.

This guy will literally Mug everyone of these guilt ridden nin compoops just to support some trashy folks who can’t figure out that leaving would improve their chances 100%.
It’s a snake eating it’s tail.
Just when California can’t get any worse this Guy hands his beer to Gavin Newsome to hold while he get’s ready to burn down New York.

Mamdani ran on a platform that included economic policies aligned with progressives and socialists in the Democratic Party, such as a higher minimum wage, tax hikes on businesses and the rich and other policies, like creating city-owned grocery stores and imposing a rent freeze for stabilized tenants.

Ackman wrote in a post on X he is “gravely concerned about New York City” after Mamdani’s apparent victory and went on to ask, "Who is your best centrist candidate who could go toe-to-toe with Mamdani on the campaign trail and on the debate stage? Let’s crowdsource the names and then do a poll. If someone is ready to raise their hand, I will take care of the fundraising.

Ahh someones paying attention.

A large portion of socio-economic elites have always leaned towards socialism/communism as a way to strengthen their position/hold on power.

It got mentioned by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as an alliance between Soviet communists and western capitalists, although they were not/are not capitalists because they oppose a free market at least as much as any open communist.

It is worth the time to read it.

It might make sense to agree with Socialism as a concept, it might even have advantages for those in or on the cusp of power
But
Somebody has to pay for it and your base supports you essentially because they either have nothing or have and want more.
Are the “Have’s and Want More expected to Pay for This?”
I beleive Mrs Thatcher said “The problem with Socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
The “Have’s and want More’s” may see this as a possible way to wealth and power, but can they fund it?
Meanwhile the Leaders move these guys around a Chess Board like playing pieces.

That’s why communist states are police states. Once power is consolidated the elites have their armed wings curb stomp the peons if the peons complain too much.

Hakeem wants him to clarify his hatred for Israel.

I don’t see what this has to do with a U.S. election ,especially a state election. But ,I guess old Hakeem has to do what he is told to do. He is one of the biggest AIPAC recipients of $$

Interesting first few weeks.

Residents in an uproar over the idea of raising their property taxes 10%. Dead bodies littering the streets in sub zero weather. Can’t get the garbage picked up or clear the snow in a timely manner to allow power crews to restore service. But hey, a guy’s got to learn, right? Mamdani is preparing for the next snow by hiring snow shovel workers who can… drumroll please… show ID. Apparently, Mamdani didn’t get the memo.

What did you expect? This limousine communist is a trust fund baby that has never held a job. You know, just the person you would want to run the largest city in the country and the financial hub of the world.
