The ones in the middle-left know what happened in New York is like ultra-maga winning in deep red areas.

And even if these three win, they're all of three. At best, they're the new "Squad," which in the real world means nothing when ALL the votes are tallied.

Every new lib is the next worst (fill in the blank), but these three are as likely to get anything actually changed in the exact way they want as we are. Hell, we'd have a better chance if I really think about it.

And yet the middle left would still vote for the communist if given a choice between a communist or a person because (D).

I have looked in the mirror and I'm not a communist. I'm normal. Voting for a communist is an automatic no go for me.

Not sure I get your point.

The rightwing's extremist mindset, cult tribalism, extreme dishonesty, and extreme hypocrisy is the other side of the same coin.

And yet most of the middle right will still vote for a corrupt extremist far righty because (R).

What extremist mindset? And where is this extremist mindset winning numerous elections where they are the other side of same coin as the communists in NYC, Seattle, and LA?

Democrats broke the damn mold on hypocrisy although I won't argue there isn't dishonesty and hypocrisy by Republicans. It's nowhere near the level of where the mainstream Democrats are going though. Surely, you are not suggesting "both sides"?

Probably a post for the R&P board but what the hell.

This is all starting to feel a bit ominous isn't it.? It may not be one person, but a group of people, rising from the east. Whispering in the ears of those who are vulnerable with venom and making it taste like sugar.

This is a rapid change in our country. This is happening so much faster than anyone could imagine, and, to me, I can't help but think there's something darker to all of this. It just feels like the curd and whey are being separated in this world. Lines are being drawn in the sand

---

it is not some type of unique religious awakening

People like me were WARNING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS

when the population starts to turn against the Jews- it's the canary in the coal mine and pretty soon everyone else is going down as well.

for YEARS since 9/11 we were warning the West and the USA not to allow millions of invading Muslims into the countries.

now you see the results-

no one like Mamdani existed outside Uganda until the US government/leftists let in millions of immigrants who do not share our cultural values

They still believe in Russian collusion based on Russia buying $2000 worth of ads on Facebook. They believe it was a-OK for Hunter Biden to be put on the board of a foreign O&G company despite having never been a CEO on any company and having no O&G experience. and on and on...

That same brokenness causes them to literally vote for radical commie Muslims and believe it's the right thing to do.

get used to hearing

"Senator Mamdani and Senator Cortez are now signing a bill prohibiting data centers anywhere in the United States"

Biden told us that that those of us not in the Democrat Party were America's greatest enemy. Meanwhile, communists who call for the overthrow of America, and who have henchmen telling us they will execute the rest of us after their revolution, have swept the Dem primaries in New York.

But we are the extremists because we don't agree with the far-left oppression and murder the Democrats have now openly adopted.

"Survived" is... I don't know what to call it other than a strawman standard. Nobody thinks the city is going to cease to exist, we just think that crime will increase, huge swaths of its affluent population will leave (taking their tax dollars with them), it'll have a budgetary crisis, and its ability to provide basic services will tank.

Parts of these have already happened. Florida and Texas are having a field day luring Wall Street business out of state. Numbers are fuzzy but it looks like they've poached about $1 trillion of AUM from NYC specifically.

Commies are really good at stealing and spending other peoples money. And there are enough Democrat fools to give it to him.

Some businesses might leave, but NYC is still one of the worlds biggest financial centers. As long as they are making money, people aren't going anywhere. Very similar to California. The middle class might leave, but the upper class don't because they make a lof of money, and their money grows quickly.

Yes, it's disingenuous to just say "city of immigrants" when there is a massive difference amongst races, ethnicities, and cultures of immigrants from decades ago vs now. NYC dropped from 35% white to 30% white from 2000 to 2020. Have to assume it's down a few more points in the last six years.

Network effects are incredibly difficult to replace. There's a reason Hollywood and Silicon Valley are still operating and doing megabucks in California. But, there's also a reason why new offices are built in Austin and Atlanta instead of LA/Bay Area expansion. Network effects eventually erode, and when the damn breaks, the capital flees with it. New York will either have to reform or it will decline.

I personally hope it reforms. It's a terrible outcome if our largest city in the country with such history spirals into a Marxist ****hole. However, I really do not see it reforming simply because the demographics no longer exist for that to happen.

I think you're dramatically understating this Losing 1 trillion of AUM is billions of lost tax revenue. JPM has reduced NYC headcount from a max of 31-32k a decade ago to the mid/low 20 today. Texas now has more finance jobs than NYC. Ken Griffin and citadel are moving to Miami specifically because of mamdani. Charles Schwab left. Goldman Sachs is building a half billion facility in Dallas for 5k jobs. Not all finance, but IRS-linked data showed ~892 companies leaving NY from 20202024, which is significant income.

Again, the city is not going to disappear. We crack jokes but it's not ACTUALLY going to turn into escape from New York. But, you have your head in the sand if you think that the rich are just grumbling and not actually doing anything. You can clearly see in the data that NYC has chased a **** ton of money out of its borders.

I think you're dramatically understating this Losing 1 trillion of AUM is billions of lost tax revenue. JPM has reduced NYC headcount from a max of 31-32k a decade ago to the mid/low 20 today. Texas now has more finance jobs than NYC. Ken Griffin and citadel are moving to Miami specifically because of mamdani. Charles Schwab left. Goldman Sachs is building a half billion facility in Dallas for 5k jobs. Not all finance, but IRS-linked data showed ~892 companies leaving NY from 20202024, which is significant income.

Again, the city is not going to disappear. We crack jokes but it's not ACTUALLY going to turn into escape from New York. But, you have your head in the sand if you think that the rich are just grumbling and not actually doing anything. You can clearly see in the data that NYC has chased a **** ton of money out of its borders.

---

I hear ya, also didn't the governor backtrack? 5 years ago she was talking about not caring about people leaving, and now she's come around.

I'm biased, because i love NYC (visited 2 weeks ago) and because from my experience in Austin - when you have commies in charge, the most adverse effects are felt on the folks with the lowest incomes. White libs continue to thrive. My guess is is that the same will happen in NYC.

We visit NYC about three times a year, about half the time with the kids. It is such a fun city and we have an absolute blast every time. Standing on a street corner you don't notice a difference from Adams to Mamdani.

---

I second this. Either you love NYC or you don't.
NYC will survive this clown, like it has survived many others. Life will go on, pretty much as usual.
NYC has survived and thrived despite it's politicians, not because of them - Guliani being the exception.

---

"Survived" is... I don't know what to call it other than a strawman standard. Nobody thinks the city is going to cease to exist, we just think that crime will increase, huge swaths of its affluent population will leave (taking their tax dollars with them), it'll have a budgetary crisis, and its ability to provide basic services will tank.

Parts of these have already happened. Florida and Texas are having a field day luring Wall Street business out of state. Numbers are fuzzy but it looks like they've poached about $1 trillion of AUM from NYC specifically.

---

As an example, he borrowed $4B from the state and accounting magicked his budget for this year. Where is he going to get that $4B next year?

---

We didn't think he was going to get it this year either. And yet he did.
Commies are really good at stealing and spending other peoples money. And there are enough Democrat fools to give it to him.

Some businesses might leave, but NYC is still one of the worlds biggest financial centers. As long as they are making money, people aren't going anywhere. Very similar to California. The middle class might leave, but the upper class don't because they make a lof of money, and their money grows quickly.

---

We will find out next year I guess.

---

Network effects are incredibly difficult to replace. There's a reason Hollywood and Silicon Valley are still operating and doing megabucks in California. But, there's also a reason why new offices are built in Austin and Atlanta instead of LA/Bay Area expansion. Network effects eventually erode, and when the damn breaks, the capital flees with it. New York will either have to reform or it will decline.

---

I personally hope it reforms. It's a terrible outcome if our largest city in the country with such history spirals into a Marxist ****hole. However, I really do not see it reforming simply because the demographics no longer exist for that to happen.

---

Yeah, this is pending death because the DNA has changed. The people who own capital and businesses will continue to flee and it'll eventually look like Detroit. The people replacing them are simply not intellectually capable of reproducing it. Law, accounting, consulting, advertising, big finance, tech, etc... will leave and be replaced with poverty. NYC didn't make those people and industries. Those people made NYC. As the saying goes... "there is no magic dirt here".

Perhaps it was an isolated incident, but the people shown celebrating these socialist wins looked predominantly white and female. For you young fellas out there, my condolences.

The exit polls show young, college "educated" and wealthy voted majority for the socialists.

The poors, olds, brown, and black voters did not.

This is where the Dem party is now. Make no mistake though, the Dems of old are right there with them:

Yes! I am glad that you said that, because I was thinking the same thing on my way to lunch. "They," always capture the young, college aged people from affluent families, because the kids have had everything handed to them, and have access to cash donations.

But, I have no doubt that Soros or his like are involved as well. I don't think that the rich spoiled college kids can organize the process. Maybe I'm wrong.

The left will think this is reflective of the rest of America.

Only the rabid left.

The ones in the middle-left know what happened in New York is like ultra-maga winning in deep red areas.

And even if these three win, they're all of three. At best, they're the new "Squad," which in the real world means nothing when ALL the votes are tallied.

Every new lib is the next worst (fill in the blank), but these three are as likely to get anything actually changed in the exact way they want as we are. Hell, we'd have a better chance if I really think about it.

---

And yet the middle left would still vote for the communist if given a choice between a communist or a person because (D).

---

look in the mirror

---

I have looked in the mirror and I'm not a communist. I'm normal. Voting for a communist is an automatic no go for me.

Not sure I get your point.

---

The rightwing's extremist mindset, cult tribalism, extreme dishonesty, and extreme hypocrisy is the other side of the same coin.

And yet most of the middle right will still vote for a corrupt extremist far righty because (R).

---

This is hysterical and delusional. When you attempt to gaslight, don't be so brazen as to be absolutely unbelievable. Maybe try some subtlety instead of the tried and true leftist tactic of accusing your conservative opponents of EXACTLY what the left does consistently. I'm going to call it out.

Yeah, but the left says the same about the right when the right votes whoever the left is calling a "fascist" so I see that as a wash.

Where the right beats out the left, though, is when their fringe (far-far-faaar) right folks still fall in line and vote for the GOP candidate regardless.

The left's fringe eff'tards don't do that. They take their feels and vote third-party candidate or stay home.

At least you guys stay united in the end,

You have that completely backwards.

Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and "all deportations are wrong", including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an "effing disgrace", and said in a prior social media post "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me."

New York's 13th Congressional District which includes East Harlem, Washington Heights, and parts of the Bronx.

Demographics:

Hispanic/Latino: ~51% - 54%
Black/African American: ~23% - 30%
White: ~4% - 15%
Asian: ~5%

Foreign-Born: About 35% of the district's population was born outside the United States.
Income & Poverty: With a median household income roughly around $48,000 and a high poverty rate (near 28%)

This is what the Great Replacement looks like. These people are not just un-American; they are ignorant and stupid anti-American communists voting for communist demagogues.

---

Darializa Chevalier lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points. She also lost predominantly Black and Hispanic areas, and she lost lower income areas by 10 points. She won with young voters and higher income voters, and won majority college educated areas by 20 points. https://t.co/brFok94vge pic.twitter.com/2O0Zks9O3h

Cross tabs say otherwise

---

The voting outcomes in these crosstabs are separate than percentage of foreign born. I think you are conflating two different things?

Regardless, these demo outcomes for her are almost exactly like Mamdani's win.

The no life experience young and the highly mis-educated via our leftist indoctrination colleges got her over the finish line.

---

The data shows that she lost poor, minority precincts while winning wealthy, white precincts.

I think your last point is accurate… She was carried by Young wealthy out of touch professionals.

What's truly emblematic of the problem, though, is that less than 10% of the district actually voted in the primary. This is how DSA wins… When you close primaries… You disenfranchise voters
