It is home to Wall Street, the major banks and the traders that dominate the global markets. On Billionaires’ Row, along 57th Street, the average apartment costs $22m, and often far more.

New York has always been the most ruthlessly capitalist city on Earth, a place where money could be made quicker than anywhere else. As the old song has it, if you could make it there, you could make it anywhere.

Wait a year or two. We’ll get all the stories about how much New Yorkers hate this guy and what an unqualified disaster he is. Just like Chicago. We all see what is going to happen yet they do it anyway. Then cry about it when his insane Communist policies are imposed on the voters.

This is good. Libtards need real life examples of Socialism in action. As long as we can keep it at the state and local level.

He is promising lots of free stuff!
When the masses figure out who will give most free stuff, that is the beginning of the end of a democratic Republic.

This is what happens when you import millions of third world mud people who refuse to assimilate. The leftist in NYC deserve everything that’s coming to them. Sodom and Gomora of the Atlantic. The total destruction is going to be a beautiful thing to watch.

Adams is running as an Independent and Cumo is, now, leaning that way as well.

Curtis Slewa (sp) is the Republican candidate.

November in NYC will be interesting...

Don’t get your hopes up. London still has the leftie muzzie mayor. If there’s one thing the socialist commies know well is how to consolidate power.

Even worse: if this man is elected mayor of New York, expect him to run for president of the USA. The democrat party and its allies in the media will transform him into the savior of the world and the morons who elected obama will vote for this man.

You want to see disaster? That’ll be the worst one yet!

They were liberals. Leftists. They allow Marxist into government. They vote for it

Based on exit polling, Mandani won due to the support of voters with college degrees. Excellent real-life example of William F. Buckley’s quip about he would rather be governed by 100 random names from the Yellow Pages than the faculty of Harvard. Mandani winning is voting for luxury beliefs but that will crash into reality if Mandani actually wins the general election.

If we would vote for this, why does Deep State have to steal our elections?
