A democratic socialist candidate running her first political campaign is expected to become the next mayor of Buffalo, New York, after a stunning primary upset over the city's longest-serving mayor. India Walton, 38, would be Buffalo's first female mayor and the first socialist mayor of a major American city in six decades.
The Associated Press on Wednesday morning called the Democratic primary for Walton, a nurse and activist who was supported by the Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families Party. Walton defeated Byron Brown, the incumbent who has led the city since 2006.
…
She said in a victory speech that her success was "the work of a well-meaning group of rebels and revolutionaries that had a bold vision on what we want the future of our city to look like." Her supporters chanted: "Madam Mayor! Madam Mayor!"

New York is GONE/DONE.
Time to exit Buffalo - Fast.
Who is the Republican?
Fortunately Buffalo Bills are planning on building their new stadium outside the city limits of Buffalo.
democratic socialist\\
Oh look.
A NAZI.
A
REAL
NAZI.
first of all all dem Mayors are hard core socialist. the fact these morons in Buffalo voted for this anti American enemy is just typical for dem voters.
the NE is toast.
It appears that buffalo are smarter than Buffaloans.
Yeah, the time to exit Buffalo fast was decades ago. It is a ghetto nightmare rathole. It is no surprise it would get radical politics, it is a cost of abandoning cities to the left.
In 1950 Buffalo’s population peaked at 580,000 people.
Since then folks have been leaving at a breakneck place.
The remaining suckers who get to live under socialist rule—255,000 people.
At this rate nobody will be left in the place in 60 years.
Byron Brown is a pure NY state Democrat-machine politician. In today’s environment, he’s a moderate. He probably thought he was untouchable, so didn’t campaign much, and thought he could coast to a victory.
As with NY City, only a very small fraction of voters of the city turn out for the Democrat Primary, so only 10-15% of total voters are actually selecting the next mayor. The Republicans aren’t even bothering to run a candidate.
Having a declared socialist as mayor of America’s 3rd poorest city? Yeah, its time to sell your house in the nice parts of the city.
LOL. What mind of people are staying??
democratic socialist\\
Oh look.
A NAZI.

Oh look: The goal of socialism is communism - IV Lenin
PS: The last NAZI party member died years ago and the movement with him. But keep fighting a dead chimera, the CCP applauds
“Who is the Republican?”
There are no Republicans. Buffalo is a one party town.
She will run unopposed.
Think Joe Bidet like senile people.
They die in their ancient homes and then the homes are abandoned.
The big snowstorms in the winter cave in the roof and then in the springtime city workers bring in heavy equipment to haul off the remains.
Africanization now plagues Buffalo.
Buffalo is doomed to become Baltimore on Lake Erie
Touch a nerve ?
CCP ?
Bless your heart.
/-)
Hope she can find the money to do all the socialist stuff.
I left in 1998.
