When the ball comes down on New Year's Eve in Times Square, it will look like this.

NEW YORK — Democratic voters in America’s largest city are ready to elect socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor because they think socialism and communism have gotten a bad rap but are now the future of both their city and their party.
In a series of on-the-streets interviews, New Yorkers told The Washington Times that Mr. Mamdani’s socialist-style agenda comes “from the heart” and will help regular Americans, especially racial minorities.
“I think he has strong ethics. When he speaks, he seems to speak from the heart. I think he is thinking very hard about what he’s saying,” said Corey Griswold, 43, a transgender New York City public school teacher.
The teacher also cited racism, saying that “it’s not easy for a politician of Muslim descent to run for public office” in the U.S. but Mr. Mamdani “hasn’t taken the bait” and “hasn’t been negative at all.”
Mr. Mamdani is known to flash a toothy grin on the campaign trail, while batting away criticism about being a socialist, and has run on the promise of free bus rides, rent-stabilized housing, eliminating the NYPD gang database, phasing out the gifted and talented programs for kindergartners, pushing for a $30 minimum wage, and launching city-owned grocery stores.
Mr. Mamdani faced pressure last week during a debate to explain how his socialist policies would comport with New York’s reputation as the home of financial markets and capitalism.
“I would be the mayor of this entire city, and that means ensuring that the wealth that we generate in this city is also wealth that every single New Yorker can feel in their pockets,” Mr. Mamdani said.
The 34-year-old assemblyman has also faced questions about his support of the global intifada.

Marx did a good job with the useful idiots.
There is no pill to cure stupid.
There is no pill to cure stupid.
Thomas Jefferson was right, cities are nothing but cesspools of immorality and pestilence.
“Bow down before the one you serve, you’re going to get what you deserve.”
Or bend over and prepare to receive.
Why should it? They’ve elected socialists Bill De Blasio, Andrew Cuomo, Kathy Hochul, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, previously.
If it badly, which it will, they will blame republicans who did not vote for Andrew "Kill Grandma" Kummo.
You forgot Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton.
The old centrist “Clinton Democrats” who elected Bill Clinton in the 1990s most definitely do not think Socialism is OK. We’ll see if Mamdani’s win splits the party. I’m betting it does and hence, the reason why I want him to win at this point.
WAIT UNTIL HE CANCELS THANKSGIVING/CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR’S, ETC
I’m getting sick of hearing Cuomo is the great moderate savior. While he was governor, he told Republicans that they have no place in New York.
If Gotham is so dumb, then why does Deep State have to steal its elections?
Me too. Cuomo just as much a scumbag. Sliwa or nothing.
Ah the NY sheeple will go to their doom thinking that they’re doing the best thing ever as they goose step like little nazis to their own personal gas chamber.
Of course they arent worried, the ones who are voting for him are ONLY voting for him to get “Free stuff” they dont play taxes so they could care less if Mamdani taxes everyone else into oblivion it wont be them
Cuomo killed off the elderly during covid so he wouldnt be forced to give Trump a win for bringing in the ship, plus Cuomo was making money on the side with every covid related admission to the hospital(And ventilator use) but Mamdani, he will make sure that Jews are NOT safe in New York, Mamdani is Hamas, he is Sinwar but better dressed, that smile he gives, there is EVIL behind it. When I see him smile I see Hamas
Yes. It certainly doesn’t come from the brain.
