This isn’t Barack Obama’s party anymore. It’s AOC’s. It’s Ilhan Omar’s. And now, it’s Mamdani’s
For years, the Democratic machine in New York managed to contain its most radical flank with centrist figures like Eric Adams and, before him, Michael Bloomberg. But that firewall has crumbled. Mamdani, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, the Working Families Party, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is ushering in a new era – one that reads more like a utopian manifesto than a functioning blueprint for the nation’s largest metropolis.
Under Zohran’s New York, we’re looking at government-owned grocery stores, free public transit and permanent political handcuffs on the NYPD. Prostitution? He’s on record supporting full decriminalization. At this point, it wouldn’t be surprising if the next proposal is for city-run brothels.
Some may argue these are bold, visionary policies. But history tells a different story. When governments take over basic market functions – like grocery stores – it rarely ends with stocked shelves and smiling citizens*. Look no further than Venezuela, where state-run food distribution led not to equity but to rationing, shortages, and corruption. The idea that New York City, already struggling with record-high costs of living and regulatory overreach, would somehow succeed where socialist regimes have failed is either delusional or deeply cynical.

If New Yorkers are dumb enough to elect him they deserve everything they get.
More prostitution, crime and socialism!! Yay! Way to go NYers. you done yourself proud. Now ask yourselves where are you all going and what’s with the handbasket.
Mamdani will legalize temporary “marriages” with girls old enough to menstruate.
The Globalist vision for every city. Here and around the world.
” Look no further than Venezuela”
Oh Please.
We had 70 years of the Soviet Union, that was way worse then Venezuela for gods sake. That’s nothing more then a standard issue Latin thugocracy promising rainbows to the peons.
When does the reality of the Soviet Union and Maoist China get the same airplay? Was 35 years ago that much in the past?
Regards,
If the Republicans were smart, they’d chuck Sliwa and nominate....Andrew Cuomo! Mamdani would lose 25-75 in the general election.
NYC belongs to ALL Americans!
I found that out on my visits there, as well as on 9/11/2001 when NYC was brutally attacked by the muslim menace.
Dear Lord, save NYC from the new muslim menace Zohran Mamdani! AMEN!
Curtis does need to drop out. He cannot win and will just splinter the anti-Mamdani vote. Likewise, if Adams drops out, Sliwa will not inherit his voters. In a world gone mad, Eric Adams is the only sane choice for Mayor right now. He could win with a coalition of Republicans, Independents and Democrats who don’t like Mamdani.
NY City is an old socialist whore, who been the special beneficiary of 100 years of printed-fiat Federal Reserve money, and the massive government debt in enables
NY City skims from the financialization casino of Wall Street, and is the recipient of massive outlays of government debt.
So its natural they will elect a radical neo-marxist, promising ever-more “free shit” as a human right.
Until Conservatives (and America) support massive monetary reform, the nation will never have fiscal responsibility, and thus we will continue to grow and feed the parasites of the Left, until they kill us.
“....from war, famine, foreign invasion, civil strife....”
Kyrie eleison!
WHAT IS THE OVER/UNDER AS TO WHEN WALL STREET WILL MOVE TO TEXAS????
Gospodi pomiluj!

Who — fugly leftwing skanks?
NYC isn’t even American. It’s an expensive, decrepit police state.
No. It will affect all of us.
He believes in open borders which increases the census and will give NY more Congressional seats and more electoral college votes.
Florida is already the "snow bird" haven for New Yorkers with means.
Day after the election. Texas is already to go with a functioning Wall Street brokerage just like New Yorks. All they have to do is flip a switch.
So.. NYC goes full commie...
it sucks.. But..
Businesses and high earners will likely flee. That will drain a lot of NYC, Long Island, E NJ, Westchester and So. CT. All those that work “in the city”.
Without that base, a LOT of businesses that support them will close, restaurants, theatres etc.
NYC becomes Detroit East. A lot of people but, few jobs, minimal income/ tax base.
NY, may keep population but not the business, and $$ clout.
It may take years, generations to recover. But. Maybe. It will change things like voting habits.
