In addition to being a has-been, Cuomo was the SOB who ordered Covid patients to be placed in nursing homes, causing thousands of susceptible elderly folks to contract the disease and die. The rest of the country may have forgotten about this, but New Yorkers have not.

Ranked choice voting strikes again! This always guarantees that the worst candidate will win.

The article is correct. A candidate with charisma has a great advantage. I worry about our R contenders for 2028.

I’m not a New Yorker and I remember. Seeing pics of elderly people locked up, with family members looking at them through windows, is heartbreaking.

Obviously they forgot about 9/11.

It seems to me that Mamdani with his history would be a huge mistake, but New Yorkers seem to be good at voting for that type & they sure don’t seem interested to take advantage of any better choices at this stage.

The combination of stupidity, apathy, and indoctrination have made far too many NYers gullible to fall for a fast talking young man with foreign campaign money no doubt supporting him. And look at the radical commies like AOC, Bernie, Crock o' ___, Trashida, etc. supporting him. Check out his 2 definitely friendly buddies behind him, who would soon populate NYC in droves. NYC is in suicide mode.

Last time I checked “socialism” means I get to work my ass off and somebody I don’t even like gets to enjoy the fruits of my labor!

A Cato Institute/YouGov survey found 62% of Americans aged 18-29 have a favorable view of socialism.

When I was that age, never in my wildest dreams would I have considered socialism attractive.

They have a favorable view because our public schools are infested with people who promote it. We need to break the Marxist teachers’ unions who keep them in place and purge them out of our schools.

I’d love to see school choice render these Marxist-led public schools extinct, and while school choice needs to be one of the tools in our toolbox, I don’t see a world where we don’t also have public schools. We need to get much more aggressive about getting these Marxists the hell away from our children.

In contrast, older generations tend to favor capitalism more than socialism——A Pew Research Center study found that 55% of Americans had a negative impression of socialism.

Up until about age 8, brainwashing children is actually brain wiring, which lasts a lifetime. You can probably recall your brain wiring time, hopefully done by good people that had your best interests are heart. In the 60s and early 70s, American schoolchildren were hard wired to hate socialism. Now that government schools have been taken over by socialists, children now get wired to want it.

Some things are inevitable. Maybe 200 years from now, the technology will be sufficient that the whole solar system will be socialist, if not outright communist. And the artificially intelligent overlords will centrally decide who lives in their zoos, and who is insufficiently entertaining to continue.

“Ever since the rise of television . . “

The TV, MSM, internet, the ‘images that both move and speak’ and give life to the Beast as we’re shown in the Book of Revelation.

I was in junior high when I realized one of my teachers was promoting communism. She was one of several. Not all of them were like that. I just thought they (the leftists) were weird and uninformed.

Youth is just a marginal winning factor, otherwise congress wouldn’t be so full of seniles.
As the article’s author, who claims to have found the sole magic sauce (charisma), you just keep what you want to see and you discard the rest, like Reagan and Trump who both won twice against younger democrats.

Democrat Mayoral Jihadi Zoran Mamdani Defended UK Muslim Terrorists
Who Beheaded Lee Rigby On London Public Street in Broad Daylight
Geller Report ^ | June 27, 2025 | Pamela Geller
Posted on 6/28/2025, 5:33:31 PM by george76

Two Muslim terrorists mowed down Fusilier Le Rigby in a car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London in May 2013.

They both said that they were ‘soldiers of Allah.”

Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zoran Mamdani shared an article by leftist Glenn Greenwald questioning whether the killing was terrorism because Rigby was a soldier.

“Coming to a town near you.”

New York is rather uniquely sick. Vast majority
of the rest of the country won’t tolerate this filth.

“...except for Johnson (who faced old man Goldwater)..”

Old man? He was 55 in 1964! His loss to Johnson marked the beginning of end.

WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO. Then you’ll understand...

What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an
William Federer talked about his book, What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an: A History of Islam and the United States. He used slides as he talked about the political and military aspects of the life of Muhammad and how they inform Islam. He also responded to questions from students in the audience at the 20th annual Eagle Forum Collegians Leadership Summit from the Allison Auditorium of the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C
