Chris, I think you are 100% correct. But I also think that these days, people don't respond to hypotheticals, they will only respond to the results. Mamdani needs to be elected in order for the people of NY to wake up and see exactly how destructive his socialist policies are in practice. I fear for the city quite frankly. but do not be surprised if in the next election, we see Giuliani redux as even the liberals can take it no longer
I don’t think anything good will come from his election. Nobody will wake up because nobody will be held accountable. He’s young and charismatic so while he and his associates loot New York they will put all their failures and shortcomings at the feet of the trump administration.
“The Man is keeping me down” as a governing philosophy. Certainly the media will bend over backwards to accommodate him.
Can't remember the conservative commentator but he was voting for Mandami because every now and then we need to see that another bastardized version of socialism won't work. In this case it's encapsulated in NYC so we can get the popcorn out.
What hypothetical? We've seen first hand what socialism does. The mess that NYC is, is the result of the utopian socialism that NYC government has put into place over the decades.
As they say, if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
arguably, if they saw what socialism does, they would not be considering the idea that Mamdani is what the city needs. people who have lived under socialism get it, but the privileged who live in NY just may need a first hand lesson
"That’s right. Now, shoplifting, drug use, DWI, harassment, prostitution, even a good old-fashioned sidewalk sucker punch—are all rebranded as “non-serious.”
Reflecting against the mirror are the elites, theft through the overt and excessive of the 'legal' cash laundering, pharmaceutical abuse and legalization of mind altering drugs, bureaucracy (even at the notorious DMV level) equal only to the Soviet era for 'citizens', Epstein-style child-sex scheme , and politicians changing their mission each day to suit their donors delivering the biggest of all sucker punches.
He's mad. Stark, raving mad. Not unlike our 'elite' leaders. They are thugs. Same story, 180 degrees away.....until us 'fringe' do something contrary to these lunatics we have two choices: fight or flight because waiting this war out will be very, very painful.
Yeah. At least the 'thugs' are sophisticated with their grift. A criminal mastermind Mamdani is not - just dumber than a lightpost. There's no there there.
Well, the elites have shown that if you steal bigly , there are no consequences. See, e.g., one person, a non citizen convicted of a crime in the Great Rescue of TBTF banks and the economy which resonates today. Jaime Diamond made out fine, as did all the hyper rich fuckery that crashed the economy.
Angelo Mozillo, stole what, $ 300 million from Countrywide and entered a plea, paid back about a third of it? I’d do that too. Only once, I’m not as big a criminal as Bezos, and his Fuckery. Amazon lost over $100 million to force Diapers.com to sell to Amazon at a lower price than initially offered. After they rejected Amazon's initial $580 million acquisition offer in 2010, Bezos escalated the situation by selling diapers at a substantial loss. This cost Amazon more than $100 million in losses over a short period, ultimately forced them to sell their company to Amazon for $545 million. Stealing IP of products sold and busting them out in the PRC, undercutting them. More.
Or VC’s rolling up porta potties, HVAC companies, and tripling prices and nobody else you call will beat it, because they’re all owned by one crime family. We collectively shrug our shoulders at that shit, but the answer is not his platform off of which many people will be pushed. Onto subway tracks.
Lenin said it best - whozhe lytzhe (best approximation I can give of the original Russian): “The worse the better”. Iow - in a pre-revolutionary situation the greater the chaos the more likely the revolution is to be successful. In our case we are discussing the exact same phenomenon from a “Counterrevolutionary” perspective.
By all means encourage New York voters to elect the apotheosis of contemporary Democrat Party thinking, just as, inter alia, Chicago, Cook County and Illinois should be encouraged to continue to elect clones of the current clowns in charge.
Who is it who is installing him? Living in the Portland OR area, I can promise that this will not go well. Is NY so blue that they have already forgotten the terrible policies of the scandemic?
You’re joking, right? Cuomo, Adams work together for the greater good? That’s a pipe dream. Mamdani is where he is because of those two. I’m not sure why conservatives in the rest of the country are so worried. I feel very sorry for the good, i.e. anti-Mamdani, folks of New York but having him in power should give the rest of the country a nice lesson in how socialism works. It seems to me that San Francisco deconstructed over a long period of time. (Frog in boiling water.) I suspect, considering the point it’s starting from, NY will crash and burn in real time for all the world to witness.
Curtis knows more about NYC than all the other clods that are running put together and then some. Curtis will begin to repair the insanity that has gripped NYC for too long.
The captured MSM has crowned Mandami but the voters will decide.
Thats why the Social/Demos are scared, and I'm sure Mr Soros is spending a lot to get his boy Mandami in.
The Dems going with Mamdami might just be what gets Republicans and conservative Independents and moderate Demoocrats to come to the polls and vote for Sliwa, a much better candidate than Cuomo or Adams.
"So here’s the plea: Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams — it’s time to lock arms, swallow egos, and mount a real challenge. The moment demands unity over rivalry."
Well, not sure I am qualified to opine on this, but here goes.....did you say this believing it was actually possible, or had you just finished taking (insert your hallucinogenic drug of choice) and were feeling uber optimistic?
Mamdani becoming mayor of NYC will add a necessary exclamation point to the absurdity of the modern democratic party.
They’ll elect him just like AOC. Oblivious to future consequences as this “feels right “. Plus they think they’re flipping the bird at the man, if such even exists. My concerns go a little beyond the initial lawlessness that will ensue.
The businesses will flee, bonds on NYC will crater and his rash incompetence will ripple and hurt non NYC people.
If I were a cop and close to retirement I’d be gone if this guy gets in. Why take the risks when he obviously won’t have their backs?
What happens to commercial real estate when the businesses flee? Obvious.
Looks like he'll be seizing the means of production in exceedingly small loads.
Yeah, with his reps spaced out days. Maybe weeks.

Alas you may be correct

Sir you nailed, what in my opinion is the ultimate nexus here very early in the ink.
Destruction of value of personal property held by others with the absolute goal of acquisition by intentionally distressing assets.
Its a practice being duplicated in Board rooms as well.
One of your best, Chris. 🙇🏼♀️💥

Certainly their stylists can dress them up. AOC is proof of that. Mamdani is a flash in the pan and he'll be crushed in the end.
Hope you're right. Either way its inconceivable that Adams and Cuomo have not joined forces to try and nudge him out before November.
Both Cuomo and Adams have baggage, especially Cuomo. Don't count out dark horse Curtis Sliwa.
Curtis is the only hope, and he's a dark horse for sure.
To win in a first past the post, every Democrat must rely on the Mamdani fraction. Hence the retinence of attacking him from his own party.

1000% agree. It will be a very painful lesson that we may, or may not recover from.
No laws and more sanctuary and a mosque on every block. What’s not to like!
NYC is one election away from becoming San Francisco East.
Mamdani can do it and I’m leaving town after 30+ years.
Good luck!
Mandami hasn't won anything yet.
Curtis Sliwa will be the next mayor of NYC.
Curtis knows more about NYC than all the other clods that are running put together and then some. Curtis will begin to repair the insanity that has gripped NYC for too long.
The captured MSM has crowned Mandami but the voters will decide.
Thats why the Social/Demos are scared, and I'm sure Mr Soros is spending a lot to get his boy Mandami in.
New Yawkers know better.
The Dems going with Mamdami might just be what gets Republicans and conservative Independents and moderate Demoocrats to come to the polls and vote for Sliwa, a much better candidate than Cuomo or Adams.
"From your lips to Gods ears" as the saying goes. Curtis is the only man who can possibly halt the cities dramatic decline.
The odd thing is that these high priests of socialism never consider self-defense to be a legitimate type of violence.

They need Chuck Norris and Snake Pliskin. Maybe when NYC burns to the ground they will start voting for republicans.
They’ll elect him just like AOC. Oblivious to future consequences as this “feels right “. Plus they think they’re flipping the bird at the man, if such even exists. My concerns go a little beyond the initial lawlessness that will ensue.

If I were a cop and close to retirement I’d be gone if this guy gets in. Why take the risks when he obviously won’t have their backs?

This guy is all bad.
Just might be what NYC needs to finally elect Curtis Sliwa, who no doubt would clean up the city and make NYC great again.
