It’s so simple to win any election a Democrat has to lie about what they truly want and believes. If they ever admit to what they truly want they would never win any election where they can not rig the results.
The problem is Mamdani is not lying. He, AOC, Bernie Sanders actually believe in socialism. We know the cost to prove them wrong is too great. How this unwinds in NY???
He is telling them he is going to solve all of their problems and the rich are going to pay for it. That’s the lie. The rich will never pay. They either own him outright and have bought a loophole or they can just move to Florida or Texas. The only people who end up paying are those that can’t afford to get the hell out of NYC. IE the poor and the middle class
They could all pony up $100 and hire the mafia to kill that filthy sandnigger... I bet they could raise a million dollar bounty in an hour. Maybe they will.
After the socialists take New York, a movie called "Gone with the Wind - Part 2" will have scene where a character playing a muslim Imam called Mamdani, will stand up and shout - "It quitting time for capitalism and Christianity."
Except that we won 2 (actually 3) elections on Donald Trump doing *exactly* what he said he would as President.
See, I understand when your side lies to me or my side lies to you. That's politics. But YOUR side lied to YOU...about Biden's decline, about Harris's real chances, about everything from the "hard evidence of collusion" that Adam Schiff was supposedly keeping in his office drawer to the effectiveness of Covid shots to Hunter Biden's laptop.
Or maybe they didn't lie to you. Maybe you were one of those people who was in on the con the whole time and carried their water like a good foot soldier. But every Democrat in America falls into one of two categories. Either you were lied to by your own leaders or you helped them lie to everyone else. There is no Option C, and neither of the existing options is a recommendation for taking any of you seriously.
I’ve seen the empty shelves. I’ve seen the lines. This is what they don’t understand. I used to say every high school senior should spend time behind the iron curtain before they go to college.
Sasha, wonderful job unmasking the poser class, the vapid and the vacuous who will decide NYC’S election in favor of the deceitful one. The clear and succinct way you assemble your material and construct your case so matter-of-factly makes your conclusions common sense.
I have lived in Manhattan for over 30 years. My daughter was two and my wife was pregnant when 9/11 struck. We had a keyboard on our roof and our building was in the dust cloud of the towers. We got out with the clothes on our backs. We never thought of leaving. But now, I’m leaving this time. Enough of the crazies. These are the ones who tried to jail Daniel Penny and Trump. Enough.
At the end of the day, NYC is unimportant. It only gets attention because all of the media is there, including conservative media. They can afford their luxury beliefs because Wall Street funds them. There is no reason why Wall Street needs to be centralized there or anywhere else. So the exodus accelerates. J P Morgan already has more employees in TX than NYC. There are some great photo essays about abandoned Detroit and I am looking forward to the NYC version.
The deals get done in NYC. The finance jobs outside NY are back office, paper-shuffling, of which there are legions. The client-facing investment banking is collected in NY for one-stop shopping for investors. Big difference.
The deals can be made anywhere or several places at once. Wall Street as a place is obsolete and it is just inertia that keeps it there. Inertia will break under the rising dysfunction.
Truthfully, those ' fleeing from all over the world just for the chance to live here and be free' are ONLY here for the free stuff. Madmani know that, as do all demoncrats who understand that slavery isn't free, but it's profitable for them.
And NY dems know how to dole out free stuff! Under Biden admin, 20% of all NYC hotel rooms were for illegals. This was a $5 Billion, no-bid contract with the hotel trade association. Highest price possible. Zero discount for years of guaranteed occupancy. And it gets better. Free three meals a day, free health care and free education. All for walking across the border. You’d be stupid not to take the biscuits when they are passed.
What I want to know is, how is it that so many on the 'left' seem to have no idea of the hysterical hell that they created over race in the past ten years? They seriously have no clue somehow. They don't get what Trump is doing to untangle this hell. They're shilling against 'authoritarianism' after heaping racial authoritarians on the populace for years.
In order to be on the left, one must have no clue as to how causes reap effects.
NYC has a population of , roughly, 8 million. Nearly 2 million of those are on SNAP/Food Stamps. The fact is these people do not have the luxury of considering the almost certain increase in crime and filth that will result should Mamdani win and his policies are put in place. What a sad state of affairs when the Democrats have to choose between a known criminal and a socialist/communist.
Exactly. They have backed themselves into a corner. That the choice is between Mamdani and Cuomo only highlights the Democrat party's overall incompetence, corruption, and rot.
Umm ... not all of us felt "a sense of inner purpose" the first time we heard Barack Obama speak. Some of us, as voiced by Rush Limbaugh, hoped that the preening poseur, the man who shape-shifted according to the whims of his financiers, would FAIL.
The YouTube video of the Iranian woman talking about socialism, Mamdani and the lead up to the revolution (devolution) in Iran is the most powerful of all of them. Thank you
"Most of us Hillarycrats were terrified that Democratic Socialism would pull the party too far to the Left and we’d never win an election again"
Not sure about that. What was "Hillarycare" (or Obamacare, or single payer) if not a huge step towards communism? After all, everyone needs healthcare, and once the state is responsible for managing the costs, it must by definition control both the inputs (habits of the people) and outputs (healthcare results) of the population. This inevitably leads to tyranny, as behaviors are prohibited and proscribed for the people (for their own good and the good of the state) and care is rationed.
In terms of rationing care, Zeke Emanuel's "whole lives" system gave this away. Care would be rationed by a formula based on the investment in the individual vs. the expected return of that individual's future life. So a young college graduate is likely at the top of the list, while grandma (no tax revenue for the state) and infants (no money invested in them yet) would be at the bottom of the list.
Let's also not forget that most of the arguments banning tobacco were based on cost to the system. That's what they wanted for all of us with socialized healthcare - what we do with our bodies (good and bad) closely monitored and controlled by the state. For the good of the state, not for us of course.
Hillary in particular was always in bed (figuratively - probably) with Soros, who is the ultimate puppet master driving the world towards a communist-style tyranny. She always hated the common people, and she always thought the smart people (like herself0 should control all of our lives.
If the "Hillarycrats" did not see that it was because they were in a bubble and/or were willfully blind.
I wonder how many of those privileged socialites believe the the Zorhan Administration will grant them exemptions from the rules and mandates that will be imposed? Or will they abandon NYC for more amenable locals?
Yes, they will winter in florida just over 6 months of the year, and make that their primary residence, so they don't have to pay state or local taxes..they do not care about their city, their state. The ordinary people. I know all kinds of folks all over this country just like this
"The Left is so desperate to hold onto their way of life, they are willing to fight to preserve crime in the cities, to open the border and allow all of the migrants..."
No, NOT 'migrants', 'illegal aliens'. AP and most MSM will not allow the word 'illegal' to be used in the same sentence with 'immigrant' or 'migrant'. And don't even think about using the correct legal term, 'alien'.
because that would expose the pipe dream of what he really. Noticed how, when they talk of taxing the rich, they don't include the democrats? Mamdani's family has around 65 million dollars... they won't be paying more, count on it.
It will be interesting when a law is passed requiring women to cover themselves. I can hear it now: "We didn't vote for THIS!!!"
Though I have been paying less than rapt attention to this Bozo, he seems like a sincere Muslim to me. And the "foreign-born" element among his supporters looks like PC-Speak for Fellow Muslims. If I am right, here is what that means:
1) Muslims cannot be friends with infidels.
2) Muslims are free to attack their infidel neighbors in order to put them under Islam.
3) Women have 1/3 the value of men.
4) Feuds are how we keep the peace.
5) Rape of slaves is permitted, which of course means that slavery is permitted.
and the big one:
6) ISLAMIC LAW MUST BE IMPOSED, WHETHER THE PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT.
We should remember what the Muslims say: "Democracy is against Islam".
They should know ...
Too bad that I am in a hotel, and did not bring my Koran with me, so that in some cases I may be exaggerating. But I think I have got the gist of things right. But the objective of Sunni Islam is to see to it that Sunni Islam, which is in practice nothing but Islamic Law, covers the entire world. Muslims are not bad people. But Islam is a *horrible* religion.
It’s so simple to win any election a Democrat has to lie about what they truly want and believes. If they ever admit to what they truly want they would never win any election where they can not rig the results.
Just like they could never justify their abortion stance if they ever had to describe in detail the process of an abortion.
Or watch a precise video of an abortion.
The problem is Mamdani is not lying. He, AOC, Bernie Sanders actually believe in socialism. We know the cost to prove them wrong is too great. How this unwinds in NY???
He may say he believes in it, but his family didn't accumulate 65 million dollars practicing Socialism...
What a socialists has and what he wants for you are two entirely different things.
He is telling them he is going to solve all of their problems and the rich are going to pay for it. That’s the lie. The rich will never pay. They either own him outright and have bought a loophole or they can just move to Florida or Texas. The only people who end up paying are those that can’t afford to get the hell out of NYC. IE the poor and the middle class
What happens when Mamdani runs out of other people’s money?
Proof of Mamdani's sincerity will be if he enacts an exit tax on assets moved out of metro NYC by businesses and individuals fleeing his policies.
That will not pass constitutional muster.
Maybe true ... but the process (and the delays in second circuit court appeals) will be the punishment inflicted on the sane folks who leave.
They could all pony up $100 and hire the mafia to kill that filthy sandnigger... I bet they could raise a million dollar bounty in an hour. Maybe they will.
The last thing Bernie wants is socialism he is the biggest grifter of all time just take the money from Hilary in 2016 and buy another house
Bullshit. They don't believe in anything.
After the socialists take New York, a movie called "Gone with the Wind - Part 2" will have scene where a character playing a muslim Imam called Mamdani, will stand up and shout - "It quitting time for capitalism and Christianity."
It'll be a horror movie!
Same with MAGA liars
Except that we won 2 (actually 3) elections on Donald Trump doing *exactly* what he said he would as President.

🎯
Correct. HL3 is either an idiot, or it is evil. Or botj...
Either way it is the enemy.
MAGA is very upfront in explaining how Democrats are self-righteous degenerates
You are too goddamn stupid and greedy to understand it, you spawn of the shallowest end of the gene pool.
I'll bite; what lies?
None are so blind as those who will not see.
Don’t waste your time they have no.
Concept of truth and its meaning.
Go fuck yourself commie scum.
I lived under socialism when growing up behind the Iron Curtain.
The promises of Mamdani result in Empty Shelves and that’s not only thing that is empty. America beware!

I recall reading that before, good article. Thank you for reminding us how socialism "works"!
I’ve seen the empty shelves. I’ve seen the lines. This is what they don’t understand. I used to say every high school senior should spend time behind the iron curtain before they go to college.

Get out before comrade Zohran institutes an exit tax on the assets of departees.
Yes, the Zohrantifada is coming! Soon!

We can hope
If Wall Street chooses to go down with the ship, that is on them. Something new will arise to take their place. We can hope it isn't Beijing.
That is yesterday. Just like Nigger York.
And that is how capitalism works. SPLENDID!

Quite right. Certainly since the Hart–Celler Act was passed in 1965.
Mandan became a naturalized citizen in 2018. IF they find he lied on his immigration forms, I would think he could be deported.
All I know to do is pray.

Either way, they are screwed.
They'll get what they voted for. I have zero sympathy for them.
Exactly. They have backed themselves into a corner. That the choice is between Mamdani and Cuomo only highlights the Democrat party's overall incompetence, corruption, and rot.
But when the results of their bad choices impact them, they move to where YOU and I live, bringing those bad policies with them.
Even if they stay where they are, they expect the rest of us to bail them, along with their bad choices, out, with cash. NO! Just NO!
Gotta love the Animal Farm reference on the first hole. Top notch. Top Notch!

Great comparison to the American South circa 1860; democrats have never changed, nor has their terror wings.

All of them. How else could you explain voting against your own best interests?
"The Left is so desperate to hold onto their way of life, they are willing to fight to preserve crime in the cities, to open the border and allow all of the migrants..."
No, NOT 'migrants', 'illegal aliens'. AP and most MSM will not allow the word 'illegal' to be used in the same sentence with 'immigrant' or 'migrant'. And don't even think about using the correct legal term, 'alien'.
Sasha, you should know better.
So is "wetback" out of fashion too?
Apparently.
If he's supposedly a Muslim, why don't they put him on the spot by asking how he feels about gay marriage, and just sharia law in general?
because that would expose the pipe dream of what he really. Noticed how, when they talk of taxing the rich, they don't include the democrats? Mamdani's family has around 65 million dollars... they won't be paying more, count on it.
