Shvets has taken part in numerous anti-Israel protests since Hamas’ terrorist attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the CPUSA paper, People’s World, which celebrated her victory.
Just two days after socialist Zohran Mamdani won the election for mayor of New York City, the city council of upstate Ithaca, New York, elected an actual member of the Communist Party USA to the Ithaca Common Council.
Hannah Shvets, 20, a Cornell University sophomore and student organizer, defeated independent candidate and former Democratic primary hopeful G.P. Zurenda after winning the endorsement of the Ithaca branch of the Democratic Socialists of America and the Ithaca Tenants Union, according to the New York Post.
Shvets has taken part in numerous anti-Israel protests since Hamas’ terrorist attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the CPUSA paper, People’s World, which celebrated her victory.
The Texas-born Shvets shares a number of the same policy positions as Mamdani, such as protecting rent-stabilized tenants from eviction except on grounds allowed by law. She supports a $25 an hour minimum wage, while Mamdani supports a $30-an-hour figure. She also supports a just-cause employment policy, making it difficult to fire workers without good reason.
“I just think it’s really important now to bring together issues of affordability and issues of justice. We need to find ways to make Ithaca a place in which both locals and students can live and afford to live and thrive,” Shvets said, as reported by the Ithaca Voice.

“Socialism is the quieter path to Communism. The goal of socialism is Communism.”
V.I. Lenin
He didn’t actually say that. It’s an Interwebs thing.
Crud. I know a libertarian professor who lives there, and this must make him uptight.
I AIed it and I guess he did. I have seen it debunked before.
If you argued against AI it would be like the Kennan Wynn character Col. Bat Guano in Dr. Strangelove sternly warning Lionel Mandrake he will be in trouble with the Coca Cola Company.
Ithaca is a lunatic asylum just like most college towns.
Ithaca elects a communist, NYC elects a communist Ethiopian moslem, the Mayor in Minneapolis campaigned in the Somalian language to beat his alien-headed Somalian opponent, Trump slobbered over the Syrian ISIS leader at the White House who exited to a trilling crowd of foreigners (on the Marines birthday)
And he told us he is gonna help the housing crisis by letting us get 50 year mortgages.
Lunacy abounds.
In addition to being evll they are stupid as well.
Most Cornell students don’t vote in Ithaca even though they have established temporary residence there. Although the crazies, who have no prospects or ability to cope in the real world, tend to nest there ,remain and use politics as futile therapy. Three or four hundred crazies can sway an election for city council in a small town. Most college towns suffer this phenomena.
I came here for the “City of Evil” graphic and am disappointed.
Girl is bat-$^!t crazy. The just-cause thing is a gimme to make her seem less commie.
We need more than the current 15% of folks to raise their attention above level green. Yellow to orange current threat level
Nose stud, tattoo on arm, but no blue hair
That and being rather homely, she may well have a yuge chip on her shoulder with anyone that doesn't 100% agree with her. Nothing new for leftists.
Silly me. I would assume this happened in Ithaca decades ago. It’s been a liberal snake pit just about forever.
In 93 I toured Cornell.
There were, are, whatever, sanctioned orgies that are supervised by some sort of officiant to ensure no one cries rape.

That is when I began my dive into what Ithaca is all about. It is, truly, one of the most deviant and evil places on earth.
Electing somebody with the views of Shvets is not one of them.
