Congratulations Zohran Mamdani…You and NYC are now in the crosshairs of an aggressive and very vengeful Donald Trump.

Actually, if anything, they are thrilled with Trump. Putin loves Trump. Kim Jong Um loves Trump. Heck, even Xi was smiling nicely as Trump debased himself and called off his tariffs. (Probably a good thing, as SCOTUS looks like they are ready to slap Trump down hard on tariffs.)

But to the point, socialism wouldn't be appealling to young people if Capitalism wasn't such a shit sandwich.
Socialism is appealing to youngins because all they hear is free shit and someone else is paying for it. Taxes will quickly turn into bills.
 
100 percent, the further the federal govt stays away from this, the better
Trump was the last time someone so polarizing was elected, twice. Then the other side went apeshit to make sure he didn't succeed in 2017, and they continue today. There is a good chance the right could go apeshit on Mamdani and repeat the strategy, but I think it will be counter-productive. Even if the GOP helped Mamdani implement everything he promised, Mamdani is destined to fail because his policies just won't work. It will be a rude awakening for the left to realize that the democrap party sounds great during elections, but truly sucks when they win. This might be their last hurrah before the party crashes. I say let it crash on its own so the rational people can see that Trump and the GOP had nothing to do with it.

The GOP may return to Neo-Cons which would end MAGA and almost certainly bring communism to America, that is how unpopular Neo-Cons are. Trump is listening to the wrong people perhaps, losing his focus on issues most important to citizens. It has been at the expense of critical MAGA policies and pursuits. I even see Fox.News views on youtube and their viewership is down, their audience probably aging and watching on traditional TV while the world.is changing.
 
If the mayoral election of a Socialist is any indication of the direction of the Democratic Party, why on earth would you support it? Are you that naive as to the dangers of Socialism?

Our enemies are thrilled with the Democratic Party in the US. They are doing the dirty work for them, destroying us from within.
What do you call it when Trump takes 10% of Intel and 20% of Westinghouse?
 
It is the billionaires that stand to benefit most from Communism, which is exactly where the left is headed. They will be in the ruling class. The rest of us will be surfs. Why do you think so many billionaires are Democrat? Haven't you figured that out yet?

Working people that vote for Socialism are just plain stupid and naive. I can't put it any more simply than that.
A guy named Bob Dylan once wrote a song about you commie hunters. Bob has a great sense of humor.
 
I wouldn't worry about it too much, the popularity of the democrap party continues to plummet as more sane people realize the party no longer serves America nor wants to do anything for America except Get Trump!!!!! I see it as they won a pointless battle that will hinder them in the long term. Eyes on the prize.
 
What do you call it when Trump takes 10% of Intel and 20% of Westinghouse?

Passive stakes in both.

In the case of Westinghouse, it is contingent. The government is assisting Westinghouse to build 80 billion in reactors via regulatory, financial and permitting. The government will receive 20% of the profits above a certain income threshold and has the option to purchase a 20% stake in the company by 2029.

in the case of Intel, the government holds a 10% stake, but no position on the board and no influence on day to day operations. Intel makes chips and the US needs to secure semi-conductor supply chains, which reduces our dependency on China and Taiwan. Many countries take this approach with goods or services which are seen as vital to the economy or national security. The Japanese government owns a stake in Toyota. Germany owns a stake in energy companies. France owns a stake in Airbus.

Bush and Obama both oversaw equity stakes taken in AIG and GM after the 2008 recession. The government, under Obama, took a 60%+ percent ownership stake in GM and a 90%+ ownership stake in AIG. Did you have a problem with that?

Democrats mistakenly believe that the sentiment in our biggest city limits is the sentiment across the country. Large urban areas are their own little worlds.

Thank God for the foresight of our founding fathers in creating the Electoral College, otherwise, these large, nutty cities would force Socialism on all of us. They don’t realize that many people don’t want to live like they do and we should have a say as well.

Irrelevant. What if Mamdani thinks NYC should own 10% of the real estate to lower costs for the 99%?

That would be price control or wealth distribution as opposed to national security and supply chain concerns. Also, controlling the price would not be passive ownership as it is with Intel and Westinghouse. Not the same thing.

Cite? What companies had their equity at stake under Obama?

Both AIG and GM in 2009.
 
Bullshit. The average Canadian has the same average take home pay as the average American. But here’s the difference: we don’t have to pay health insurance premiums out of our take home pay because they’re included in our taxes.

Not only do we have no premiums to pay, but we have no deductibles, no copays and no lifelong caps on treatment or care. There is also no paperwork. I just go to the hospital or doctor and hand them my card and I don’t even see the bill.

The is no third party billing, and our costs per person are half what you’re currently paying. Oh yeah - and EVERYONE is covered. Foreign students, immigrants, and refugees. Everyone gets a health care card with their arrival package.

Your for profit system is a failure. Your life expectancy is declining and medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy.

You’re paying just as much in taxes as we are and getting the toughest best equipped military in the world. And more billionaires than any nation on earth.

The billionaires are taking over now.
