A) I doubt the “right thinking” NYC folks are worth the spread. (Honestly, if there was an option for mass deportation and a wall, are there any polities which would against it?) B) It’s as much about their coarse behavior, as it is their politics. For some reason, NYC people behave somewhat decently, in NYC, though everyone seems depressed. Once they leave NYC, on average, they behave as if they belong in a monkey house. | |||

AOC meets with socialist Mandami to try and build up support for him. https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1945460552743989693 | |||

For the life of me, I cannot understand why the people with financial wherewithal that actually run NYC are not actively pushing back against this nonsense. It seems that like most leftists, they’re content with either paying outright because they can afford it or preparing to flee and take their toxic politics to less spoiled environs. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Every instance I hear AOC speak reminds me that a majority of America lives on buzzwords and slogans for facts and courses of action. AOC never has stated an actual.plan to her lunatic agenda. Scary if NYC elects this communist, many other blue cities will follow. | |||

I live in Louisa County Virginia and since COVID we've had a huge amount of growth. People are selling their homes for millions in NY/NJ/MD and moving here. They buy a lakefront lot to build on and think they're getting a deal because of what they're used to. It's screwing locals and our Board of Supervisors seem to be encouraging this nonsense. The next 2 election cycles will likely see a hard flip to the democrat side because those that are more conservative are dying off or simply moving away because they can no longer afford to live here. They're being replaced by the citiots that bring their shitty politics with them. As an example of how these people think: they are trying to ban wake boats on the lake because they don't want to put riprap on the shoreline of their lots to control erosion. They already have a proposed 500 ft buffer that will likely raise the taxes due to how much it will cost to get buoys placed throughout the lake. This was thought up by two Karen's that came down from NYC. It's hard to fight them because they have millions and all the time in the world whereas the locals are a hard working bunch with little time and even less resources. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

No More Mr. Nice Guy |
I have come to the conclusion that most voters have as much depth to their analysis as they did when voting for high school student council. Ergo "Hope and Change" was successful. Jmho, but AOC is no dummy when it comes to getting elected. She's a moron on the issues, but I believe she knows how to play the issues to gain power. | |||

Meanwhile, across the pond -- Leftist Utopia: Labour Government Kills Voter ID Law, Slashes Voting Age to 16 ..Under international and UK law, a child is any person below the age of 18, but by the time of the next UK General Election those age 16 and 17-years-old will be legally allowed to vote for their next Member of Parliament and won’t need photo-ID to do it, the Labour government has announced... Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...734408&lctg=26773771 Mamdani's 'Free' Bus Rides Would Cost Taxpayers Big Time NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for “free” bus rides in New York City wouldn't actually be free. Instead, the cost would be borne by hard-working American taxpayers. The city would face an estimated $650 million annual shortfall. Covering this massive cost would likely mean higher taxes, cuts to other essential services, or more debt for taxpayers. While the idea may sound appealing on the surface, the reality is that funding such a program would strain the city’s budget and could compromise other priorities, including education, public safety, and infrastructure. Kansas City’s experiment with a fare-free bus system is coming to an end after running up a $30 million budget deficit. The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) has forced the city council to approve a $46 million emergency funding plan just to keep transit running through October 2025. While the plan avoids cutting nearly half of the bus routes and laying off over 170 workers, it also means reinstating a $2 base fare for most riders—because free rides are simply unsustainable. Seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income riders will still receive assistance through programs like the "Fountain Card," but taxpayers cannot continue to foot the bill for everyone’s transportation. Even the costly IRIS on-demand rideshare service, which averages 800 trips a day, is on the chopping block due to its wasteful expenses. This shows once again that government giveaways without proper funding only lead to financial trouble and reduced services. Mamdani is advocating for the unrealistic idea of eliminating all bus fares across New York City, a proposal stemming from his 2023 “Fix the MTA” pilot project. However, transit authorities warn that implementing this program citywide would cost taxpayers an estimated $650–700 million each year in lost fare revenue, excluding express bus services. Mamdani wants to foot the bill by hiking taxes on high earners and corporations, including a proposed two percent surcharge on those making over $1 million. But critics argue that those tax revenues are far from guaranteed and could leave the city holding the bag when funding inevitably falls short. | |||
