Real American patriots don't give a crap about NYC and the voters therein. Faggot assed pearl clutchers do of course.
Build a wall around the dump and lock the commie cretins inside the sewer of their own making.

Once upon a time, George Will was a conservative.
I'm not sure what he is anymore after his TDS drove him to vote for Joe Biden. Even if he didn't want to vote for Donald Trump, voting for Biden seems like a denial of everything he was before. It's certainly not a conservative position.
But what he said on Friday on HBO's "Real Time" with Bill Maher was in some ways even more surprising than that.
Maher and Will were talking about Democrat NYC mayoral race nominee, Zohran Mamdani. Maher went hard against Mamdani, saying he says "the things that communists say. I mean, he wants free grocery stores, free buses." But it was Will's response that was surprising... when he said he wants Mamdani to win.
George Will on Zorhan Mamdani: "I want him to win. I think every 20 years or so, we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again."

"Every 20 years or so, we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again," Will argued. He continued:
Socialists' slogan used to be, 'workers of the world, unite,' 'you have nothing to lose but your chains.' The new socialist slogan is, 'Trust us, this time it won't be a mess.' So, you know, when the post-war labor government in Britain was about to get started, one of their leading lights was a socialist named Aneurin Bevan.
He said, 'What could go wrong?' He said, 'We have a nation bedded on coal, surrounded by fish. It would take an organizational genius to have a shortage of either.'
In three years, they had a shortage of both. That's socialism.
I understand his point, that he thinks it will teach people who don't understand now.
The problem is that if Mamdani wins, it means a lot of suffering, and not just for the people in New York. Because of New York's importance, it's going to lead to more leftism infecting and hurting people. And it's silly to think it would be "confined." It's like a virus - if you let it live, it spreads.

We don't need another example of socialism's failure - we already have had plenty of examples. When it fails again and they don't give up power, then what? It's real people, it's not just an esoteric "experiment" without consequences. Mamdani and others would argue away the bad results as the fault of someone else, just as we saw Biden do. People on the left will believe it, just as they fall for whatever pablum the left pushes now.
Wanting Mamdani to win is similar to voting for Biden rather than Trump - a bad idea all around and not well thought out.
We have to fight radical leftism's rise whenever it rears its ugly head.
Idiotic. Obviously doesn't live in New York. https://t.co/7NxKFj29Uk— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) August 9, 2025
This is like trying out “just a little bit” of glioblastoma, and the total destruction of New York City is not a faculty lounge thought experiment.@WCdispatch_ @ConceptualJames— dcbsky (@dcbsky) August 9, 2025
Editor’s Note: Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Democratic Socialist and has a real chance to become the next mayor of New York City.
We are close to that point now.
Look at facts not feelings.
I remember those stupids.
Limbaugh had similar reasoning around Obama.
Conservatives are blind.
People will learn when they see how badly New York City fails.
Just like they learned when they saw how badly Detroit failed.
Just like they learned when they saw how badly Chicago failed.
Just like they learned when they saw how badly San Francisco failed.
Just like they learned when they saw how badly Los Angeles failed.
(need I continue?)
Will was someone the Leftist Fake Media presented to us as a “conservative”. Someone they could parade around and say “See, we’re fair and balanced.”
But truly conservative? Hell no. There is no way the fake media would have allowed that.
George Will on Zorhan Mamdani: “I want him to win. I think every 20 years or so, we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again.”
Hey, assh*le, every few years we need a guy like Biden and to discover the corruption, to usher in someone like TRump.
GEorge Will, like many others, (Goldberg, Colter et al), were left in the dust when Trump rolled into town.
This guy is a poumpus ass. I haven’t read anything by him since Trump has been on the scene.
George Will was NEVER a Conservative, he was just able to talk the talk for his wallet.

This is absolutely true. What’s more, his performances on the This Week with David Brinkley show reinforced the notion that conservatives are whacko birds who cannot be understood.
When he gave his 20 second parables, you got no clear cut answers, only more questions and wondering exactly what Will was saying.
That was his gig: help his buddies on the Left bracket conservatives as dangerous and out of touch. That was his game. In that succeeded.
And the proof of the pudding: he constantly tried to take down Trump,
The two-faced liar probably set back the future MAGA movement a decade or more.
Oh yeah.
You can vote in communism. tyranny, authoritarian rule, but you have to shoot your way to out get rid of it.
Hamas was democratically installed. Now it’s being crushed through force.
The Feds will have to watch Mandami very closely to see that he doesn’t violate civil rights of citizens and violates federal law.
I can’t be certain that George Will was himself communist from day one.
But it’s the best way I can understand the garbage he’s written over the years.
And I can be certain the primary method of communists is infiltration.
It’s NYC. It constantly tries to self-destruct and you can’t stop them.
George Will has been an idiot for years.
By that time, the FROG is ALREADY BOILED!
Your comment is about right. It’s like saying it was a good thing for the USSR to conquer its neighbors and make them commies. The benefit is all the death and horror caused by the USSR to these poor nations makes the survivors remember how bad socialism is.
If my recollection is correct, way back in the Bush era this George Will guy was considered a guy with good conservative values. Now I think he was (back then as he is now) just a deep stater. It’s obvious Bush was a deep stater then as now.
Yes, and a lot of FReepers, including me agree. If you vote for this, you deserve it good and hard.
“So, he is saying that if Mamdani wins, it will cause a lot of people to remember how bad socialism is?”
“Yes, and a lot of FReepers, including me agree. If you vote for this, you deserve it good and hard.”
But it sounds like the thoughts of a second grader, not how an adult American patriot would think.
Or maybe a passive-aggressive 8th grader.
I’m guessing that many people in the UK thought that London deserved a Muslim mayor. That would show them! They would learn a thing or two! But it doesn’t seem to have taught them anything. Just maybe legitimized the concept of Muslim overlords.

And whose fault is that?
Why do you need a poster of a Hollywood movie actor to get your point across?
I’ll tell you why. It’s because your point is you want a communist elected as mayor of New York.
Communists like you and George Will are never able to stand up and admit your true beliefs.
