Why do New York City voters want to repeat this disaster from the 1960s and 1970s?

Mamdani is not New York’s first Communist mayor. DeBlasio was a tad quieter about his own proclivities.

Gen Z voters are mostly public school products and/or have Cracker Jacks university diplomas.

I agree, but only if Philadelphia is also hit.

Austin wouldn’t hurt my feelings, but I’d be worried about the fallout.

I want New York City to be hit with a nuclear weapon.

Naw naw naw, man. That's too brusque. New York City should be hit with a neutron bomb instead. That'll keep all the buildings intact and reusable.

The vote is always suspect...and who knows where these votes came from....lie down with dogs,get up with fleas..nothing new under the sun.

We have visited South Bronx like 1980

The South Bronx was 80 percent burned then. Lots of places went up for insurance money. Some were pumped up in price before gaining insurance, then burned.

As a teen I took the train from NJ to Penn Station, then the Subway to Yankee Stadium. The train was always near empty pulling out north after Yankee Stadium Station.

A lot of people who voted for Mamdani weren’t around in the 60’s and 70’s. Hell, they can’t even remember lessons from 2001. All they’re taught is anti-Western, anti-capitalist crap.

Votes can be faked. Semantically, you’re acting like the supposed outcome is a divine oracle about the people. But when something sounds unlikely, it’s probably false.
