we’ve seen this movie before, and the ending isn’t pretty,”

Wow...isn’t that heresy? Are NY’ers that stupid to nominate such an obvious idiot?
[Well, duh...they vote for AOC...]

If it does happen and God forbid he wins, I hope federal dollars do not bail their azzes out...

Chicago is just jealous they can’t get someone worse that Johnson like NYC is hoping to get.

I learned a long time ago from W.C. Fields that “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”. You pay for it one way or another and usually you pay much more.

The Trib helped give us Obama, by (among many other things) destroying his opponent in an Illinois Senate race, Jack Ryan - it would’ve been nice if they’d pulled their collective head out of their collective posterior several decades ago.

The Chicago Tribune is right. And New Yorkers are going to vote for the Socialist anyway. And then get mad next year when Paradise doesn’t materialize and they are living in Hell instead.

Don’t underestimate younger voters’ desire to get back at the evil boomers - they may know full well what Mamdani is and vote for him anyway, to spite Dad.

...many of Mamdani’s ideas — such as rent freezes, city-operated supermarkets and free transit — are “shared (at least in principle) by Mayor Brandon Johnson, and many of them are popular in blue cities.”

Tried rent freezes. Result: no middle class housing in NYC.

City-operated supermarkets. Result: When have you been happy with anything run by the gov't?

Free transit. Result: When has "free" anything worked? Any time something is "free", it is over-consumed. You think subways are crowded now? Just wait...

Illinois democrats are still trying to figure out how to finance an additional 2 BILLION with a B to fund the Chicago area public transit system, because just 10 or so new or increased taxes this year is just not enough for the spenders.

The “shocking” part of this is that the Chicago Fib printed it.

New york city voters are dumb enough to do just that. I ought to know. I used to live in nyc and was an election poll worker.

I watched every election day as then congressman schumer handily won re-election by a landslide. He never even bothered to campaign for re-election. He never needed to. No tv commercials, no newspaper advertising, no campaign mailings, no phone calls, no town hall meetings, no door to door campaigning, no flyers, no debates, no televised interviews, etc. Nothing.

What a choice, either an Islamic communist or a mass murderer. Either way, NYC is finished.
