Honestly, if you don’t live in New York City, why do you care about New York City? You probably don’t, but you still can’t escape talk of the race for mayor because, well, most national news organizations are based in Manhattan and what happens there matters to them, so they force it on you.
That being said, who runs the city does matter to the country to some extent, though much less now. Back when the stock market was a physical place where people piled onto the floor to throw pieces of paper all over each other as fortunes were made and lost, NYC mattered. Now it’s mostly done on a computer or even a phone while the brokers collect massive commissions and bonus checks in between lines of blow in Miami.
The financial hub of America ain’t what it used to be, to say the least, or at least as important a location.
That being said, taxes and regulations can still screw things up; it’s just more localized than it used to. That’s good – a mistake in New York City has less of a chance to ripple to where you live, which is why I’m content to let the city destroy itself.
You can only warn someone that what they’re about to do will be bad, if they choose to do it anyway…that’s on them. When that stupidity is electing a radical leftist, I simply cannot bring myself to care.
Zohran Mamdani is probably going to be the next Mayor there – a radical leftist with no real-world experience and stupid ideas that have failed everywhere they’ve been tried. The boob seems to think making buses free will make things better and lead to fewer attacks on bus drivers, because (somehow) the urge to stab someone for not having a couple of bucks for a fare will fade away if the mentally unstable don’t have to pay. What once was a haven for normal people to avoid insane homeless people – getting on a bus that the crazy person won’t pay for, therefore won’t be able to follow you – is now going to be their mobile home/nap station. What could go wrong?

A lot can and will go wrong, and so be it. If these people vote for it, they deserve all the body lice they get from it.
What’s more likely to happen is fewer bus riders, because who would want to sit near the junkie soiling themselves on the way to or from work?
I’m not sure they thought this through. I also don’t care. It’s the job of voters to think things through and demand answers. New Yorkers are going with the snake oil salesman who is selling the same crap Bill de Blasio sold them, only this time with a smile. If you’re willing to be a moron for a smile, good luck to you.
There are people arguing that Curtis Sliwa, the Republican perma-candidate, should drop out to give Andrew Cuomo his best shot at beating the anti-American anti-Semite, but polls show, at least as of now, that wouldn’t be enough. Sliwa is arguing Cuomo should get out, but after multiple failed runs for mayor that barely registered on the radar, his argument is an empty one.
There doesn’t seem to be anything to be done to save New York, so let it die. Let it suffer. Yes, it will suck, but Republicans should use it as a cautionary tale for other areas of the country rather than spending any time trying to “save” them from themselves. Spend time insulating the rest of the country from New York’s economic suicide to prevent the results from metastasizing throughout the country.
It's not everywhere or everyone’s reason for existence to be a positive inspiration for others; sometimes, people are needed to lead lives as cautionary tales. It’s not often that a city does it, let alone our nation’s largest city, but whatever.
It’s hard to feel sorry for people who willingly follow a madman, so we should let them. Do not help them when it goes sideways, do not fight against it when he implements his agenda and it hurts the people who put him in power; just sit back and watch while reminding every refugee fleeing the city of what they are fleeing and why, so they don’t vote for it again.
It will be a very expensive and painful lesson learned by people who should have learned of the failures of socialism/communism/fascism in school, but instead were preached those poisons as virtues and weren’t smart enough to see through it. You can’t save people from themselves and you shouldn’t even try.
