This disturbs me for at least 3 different reasons. First, this makes AOC think that she has some kind of "kingmaker" influence although she is a stupid-beyond-stupid ignorant commie operative. Second, the woman just elected is a "democratic socialist" (so were the Nazis) who has been busying herself with "community activism" just like Odungo. Third, NYC and surrounding counties have shown a pronounced trend in electing commie rabblerousers into political office. They are empowering radicals in lockstep with commies to be in a position to overthrow our government, to normalize their insane policies, and to take punitive actions against us normal people, particularly conservatives. These election results, make no mistake, are a very ominous sign. What on earth is wrong with people living in NYC? I think perhaps the election of this troublemaker is a result of NYC being a sanctuary city and of ILLEGALS having voted.

Those Democrats created people like AOC. They were already really far to the left, and now they are losing seats to them.

Keep your powder dry. you’re going to need it.

You wrote a very good summary. The increasing election of communists to our government is a very ominous sign. We have the woman from Mogadishu elected to Congress openly saying she wants to overthrow the government, hence violating her oath of office, and the House does NOTHING. No censure; no move to eject her. Nothing.

Exactly.

New York city has a very large number of immigrants, legal and illegal.

This district probably has a large, perhaps majority percentage of immigrants voting.

Could just be straight-up vote fraud, California-style. Although, the IQ of the average voter is decidedly lower than it used to be.

So so glad I don’t live anywhere near NYC. Feel sorry for those who do.

Illegals voting for assemblyman position ?
Isn't that doubly illegal ?
I believe that the illegal population contributed votes, while national progressive organizations
including Spanish media provided the funding and media exposure.

Far too many underestimate AOC and those who back her. She is a lot more dangerous than people are willing to admit.

[Stravinsky]

Your neighbors are Marxists, dude. The ones born there hate the USA as it currently exists and the ones that moved there (legally or otherwise) feel no connection to its traditions and history. That’s what is wrong with NYC.

What are the top 5 cities/countries that FReepers recommend for folks to move to when all this reaches its inevitable conclusion?

AOC-backed insurgent topples longtime Brooklyn Assemblyman Felix Ortiz

Did she throw him into the East River afterwards?

Or are they just confining that to statues for now?

[Labyrinthos]

From the article:

“At the federal level, she backed insurgent Jamaal Bowman, who has unofficially defeated veteran Rep. Eliot Engel, and Mondaire Jones, who won the open Westchester congressional seat to replace the retiring Rep. Nita Lowey.”

Bowman is a hard-core socialist; Jones only slightly less socialist. And this guy is about to unseat long-time incumbent, Carolyn Maloney (warning: potential barf alert): https://www.surajpatel.nyc/

NYS Assembly has been lost for a long time to the leftists. Now it’ll just be further left. Democrats control both Assembly, Senate and the King Cuomo seat, so NY is circling the drain with NYC dragging the entire state down with it. The once great Empire State is now the Vampire State.

This past weekend I was driving down Broadway for the first time in years and hit Columbus Circle ... Cops *everywhere* surrounding the entirety of Columbus Circle to protect it from terrorists, I think half the Precinct was there !!!
... and this was at 1am on a Sunday (actually Monday morning at 1am) !!

God Help NYC, and God Help America

[voicereason]

In all fairness....20+ years in Congress and it’s time to GTFO already.
