Mamdani victory in NYC indicative of nothing..

[Deadstick]

If you send him money he will send you this adorable blanket as a thank you.

Americans really need to calm down, anyone would think New York had elected Pol Pot, many are too stupid to know what a Communist is or they are just liars.

So an ultra progressive candidate won an ultra progressive election in an ultra progressive district and or city....and this is what? A great victory for the who?

What happens when sharia vigilantes start dumping lgbtq's off of skyscrapers?

The same with the other election results in deep blue Democrat land.... I'm more interested in losing numbers.

Cuomo beat the sidewalk sheik amongst conventional voters in New York City by a wide margin.... The trick here is that New York City is almost a foreign country now.

The black woman who ran for governor of Georgia rang up some pretty good numbers and most of the districts.... As always the high voting numbers come out of the ghetto drags.... Usually presided over by democrats.

I am actually encouraged by the election results not discouraged.

For what it's worth I'd love to be able to see Mamdani make some of his promises come true. I'm not against it at all!

Good luck to him.... He's about to find out who really runs New York City and New York State.
Here's a clue it's not the mayor and it's not the governor.

Just to add another perspective, I am more concerned about the "get Trump" mentality of so many voters. This portends ill for the concept of an enlightened electorate.

They DID....
People are upset for valid reasons....election irregularities (again)
An avowed terrorist and communist just got elected.....the money flight out of NYC is real and not imagined. At least 9% of the population of the city (the billionaires) and not on welfare are leaving.

NYC is in real trouble.

Don’t hide your bigotry.

Agreed.
As the saying goes, "Shit about to get real."
This is a sea change.
Sort of like years ago when Bernie Sanders got elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont and my brother and I said, "OMG, they actually elected a communist!"
Fast forward years later and Sanders almost captured the nomination for President of the Democrat Party and would have had they not rigged it to hand it to Satan's Emissary, Hillary Clinton.
Nobody could have predicted this stooped over, crazy-haired crackpot could almost get the nomination.
Mamdani shows once more that socialism/communism no longer has the stigma attached to it that it used to. And damn well should. Because history is no longer taught the way it should be, if at all. And our culture is the worse for it. And if we're not careful, we're going to pay a price that would stun and discourage dozens of generations of Americans.
