That people get the government they deserve is a cruel adage, too cruel if you live in dark places where a small minority with guns terrorizes an unarmed population — see “Cuba, socialist state of.” But in a democracy, the maxim holds firmly.
Which means that if the citizens of New York City vote in Zohran Mamdani as their mayor come November, and things go badly, then Gotham really can’t ask for our sympathy. That Democrats voted him as their candidate in the primary on June 24 is one thing, but if voters of all parties ratify that decision on Election Day, that’s another.
Then it’s Pottery Barn rules: If you break it, you own it. Sure, it’s only natural to spare an initial thought for our compatriots from the Bronx to Staten Island if things go south, but after that, sit back and get the popcorn. I plan to do so wearing my threadbare Yankee cap.

They should not expect us to bail them out!
Sorry to see it happening in slo-mo, but if they elect the islamo(SPIT!)-commie, no sympathy from me.
No more red blood for blue cities.
Watch, the NYC liberals (most of the population) will vote for him, because, feelings...
What worries me is if he wins, will that encourage other Blue State voters decide that having a Communist/ Socialist/ Islamist as their mayor is a good idea.
He should start an Al Qeda party.
It would do very well in New York City.
Hey, GnuYakkers, don come upstate and stealing our bacon when da Zman bans it. Goat and slime for you.
Since Nanny Bloomberg, New York City has gotten exactly what they voted for, and haven’t learned their lesson yet. They’re stuck on stupid.
This is like saying that Jim Jones followers deserve Kool-Aid. These human beings have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by their colleges, the media, and friends.
They do not deserve this.
Great comment. Don’t think many cities would nominate a commie like this but I didn’t think he’d get the NYC nomination either. Going to be hell there if, God forbid, he wins.
You’re a better person than I will ever be.
Why is everyone giving up so easily? Is this thing hopeless?
YES they deserve this.
These human beings have ALLOWED themselves to be brainwashed and indoctrinated by their colleges, the media, and friends.
They felt that Virtu-signaling would make everything a utopia. They lack any personal integrity!
Good Luck NYC!
I dream of being a better man than I’ll ever be. ;-)
That’s what Christ does—He regenerates us from the inside out.
He nudges us to do what you just did: confess our weakness.
And in doing so, we start becoming that person we dream of.
“They should not expect us to bail them out!”
*************
The Dems surely will if they get back in power.
You make a fair point. There are hardcore leftists. And there are sensible conservatives.
In between is the mushy middle. Those folks are susceptible to propaganda, especially the trashy type: “Vote for me and you’ll get free stuff!”
We’ll never be able to reach the hardcore leftists. All we can do is minimize their impact. But that middle… we shouldn’t give up in them.
And if this were your child that was brainwashed...would you be so accusatory?
You send them off as freshmen and they return on Thanksgiving as zombies...and you say, "She did it. My child is an idiot and deserves what she gets."
"Kill her and be done with it."
He will not be elected.
We must fight to save our civilization and that includes our misled people.
The first thing we must do is figure out how to rescue people who have been indoctrinated.
It can't be that hard.
