it could mean an ascendant radical left that splits from the dems completely and basically makes them the new whig party.

Ideally, you'll have the Democrats split into two parties - Bernie and AOC will lead the American Communist Party. Jamie Dimon and Elon Musk will lead what is left of the Democratic Party. Fiscally conservative but socially liberal.

Eventually, Bernie and AOC will become irrelevant because the only people they'll attract are College Professors. Out of touch radicals living in their own "utopia".

Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen. But we can dream.

I’m happy our family escaped from NYC/Brooklyn when I was seven; never went back.

What’s wrong with NYC?

There is NO credible democrat or republican running for mayor. As a result, both parties are painted into a political corner with this commie.

If When he becomes mayor of NYC, he’ll take it down with him.

Reflecting the reality of democrats running in big cities. The primary IS the election and he already won.

glad to see this article as it points out the obvious fact that leftism/communism/socialism/nazism/progressivism

is NOT liberalism.

Indeed, the two concepts are far, far apart.

USA would be 10000 times better off if the D party had remained largely liberal and had not been taken over by the hardcore leftist ideologues

Our wishes and imaginations are completely irrelevant. This is NYC’s decision.

Governments easily explained:

LIBERALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both cows, slaughters them for their own food,
and taxes you to death for worthless social programs, for having
the animals originally.

PROGRESSIVISM
You have 2 cows.
Progs advocate for advancements in science, technology,
economic development and social organization, but they’re so full
of bullshit, nothing ever changes.
You still have 2 cows.

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor
and forces you to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

LEFTISM
You have 2 cows.
The State terrrorizes the animals until they can’t produce milk,
beats you and your wife to death, and puts your daughters & sons
into the Pedophile Nation, for the Epsteins, Weiners, Clintons etc.

MARXISM
You have 2 cows.
The government takes both and tosses you into a hog pen, where you’re
devoured and never found.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you nothing.
They shoot your family and put you in a gulag.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

ANARCHISM
You have 2 cows.
The State shoots the cows, you and your family.

CRONY CAPITALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, milks, slaughters them, and makes a tidy profit from the sale
of choice meat cuts and fresh milk.
You get some lousy hamburger and a jar of sour milk.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, hires a sub-contractor to milk the other, and then throws the milk away.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have 2 cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have 2 cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

SURREALISM
You have 2 giraffes.
The government taxes ever penny you get,
and then gives you a government grant,
from your own money,
but only if you take harmonica lessons.

Denizens of NYC have obviously paid no attention to the bang up job of the socialist mayor in Chicago. Just as Atlas Shrugged was a primer for the Biden Administration, so is city management of Chicago as it portends for NYC.
