Doesn't matter how "appalled" lifelong Democrat voters are, it will still be either disgraced Cuomo or Mamdani (whoever wins the primary after today) that the city votes in as mayor come November. Eric Adams switched to independent.

Zoharan Mamdani: A member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America. [...] His campaign platform includes support for free city buses, public child care, city-owned grocery stores, a rent freeze on rent-stabilized units, and building affordable housing units. During the Democratic Party primary campaign, Mamdani received several endorsements from prominent progressive politicians, attracting attention for his outspoken views on Israel and Palestine.

It's all but officially confirmed in November. That's excluding the near impossibility of NYC instead voting for either an independent (Adams) or the Republican (Sliwa).

EXCERPT: Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani upset scandal-ridden former Governor Andrew Cuomo after Cuomo conceded New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday night. The race will be officially determined by a ranked choice count, but Mamdani's stunning lead leaves him poised to face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.

Well he's certainly better looking than the others. That outweighs everything else I think.

Bill Ackman writes, in part:

"And he won because the competition was very weak. His best competitor sat back and did not run a real campaign, relying on name recognition, early favorable polling and keeping a low profile to make it through. Not a strategy that I have ever seen work, but so be it...

The problem, however, is that his policies would be disastrous for NYC. Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country. The ability for NYC to offer services for the poor and needy, let alone the average New Yorker, is entirely dependent on NYC being a business-friendly environment and a place where wealthy residents are willing to spend 183 days and assume the associated tax burden. Unfortunately, both have already started making arrangements for the exits.

Mamdani is right that much about NYC is broken. The City has gotten much less safe while the cost of living here has become increasingly unattainable for many. We pay more for less. Unfortunately, his headline campaign promises of frozen rents and cheaper food from city-owned markets, among others, are certain to fail.

A mayor who disrespects the NYPD and has called for their defunding will get less effective policing...

New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable. Unlike our Federal government, NYC cannot print money, and this Federal Government won’t bail NYC out if things go bad. In fact, Mamdani would be a windfall for the Republican Party as NY becomes another failed major city run by Democrats alongside Seattle, Chicago, LA, and SF et al as Senator Fetterman so eloquently stated today, "I'd describe it as Christmas in July for the GOP."

Says so much about Democrat voters.

I was once part of a socialist system. It was great. Govt owned stores and hospitals and housing and barber shops. Guaranteed job for 9 years with COLA. Free healthcare. Free dental. Free fitness centers. Free meals. Free travel with benefits. It was called the US Navy.

The US military is supported by the capitalist US economy because it provides a service. It could not survive on its own because it does not produce what it needs for its own survival.

But just like a Democrat to only views things by how it benefits them personally.

[Magical Realist]

The military is supported by the U S Government which is supported by taxes.

[Syne]

Taxes generated from the capitalist US economy. You do know that, right?
