I am 'on it' as I am "all in" for Antonio Villaraigosa antonio2026.com former mayor of Los Angeles in 2026 because he says he will "hold the line" on property taxes ! It's a 'voter issue' for me!
Yes, there were many. One must have bern living in a hole not to know. Tens of millions were spent by Cuomo and his backers against Mamdani to purchase rank Islamaphobic anti Mamdani ads...

I'll just sit back and wait to see how long it takes for any buyer's remorse to set in on these latest elections, especially in New Yotk City. My guess is that it will happen sooner than later.
I'll just sit back and wait to see how long it takes for any buyer's remorse to set in
Couldn't be any faster than it set in for those who thought Trump was going to bring down prices and cut inflation in half and instead got rising prices and tariff wars.
This election was in response to Trump. This was the first of many 'buyers remorse' elections as America kicks the felonious grifter-in-Chief and all his sycophants to the curb.
We had a battle, here, in Hamilton, Ohio when the county wanted to INCREASE REAL ESTATE TAXES.
The fury of "ANTI ICE PROSTESTS" shut that corrupted increase taxes down.
My taxes would have increased by $2000, while developers, corporations, new businesses flocked into our community to get huge tax abatements. And, greedy, uber rich "Wheelers-Dealers" got richer.
Political corruption is rampant in all 8-10 cities I worked in, under the National Main Street Center for Historic Preservation Umbrella!
Virginia voted for someone who advocated for murdering kids over politics to be their chief law enforcement officer.(not to mention committed fraud on his community service hours he was assigned for driving almost 80 mph over the speed limit)
There's a reason Franklin said a Republic, if you can keep it. When voters vote like that, it pretty much makes the concept of a republic a farce.
When voters vote like that, it pretty much makes the concept of a republic a farce.
Tens of millions voted for a 34 time convicted felon and admitted sexual predator who was held liable by the courts for rape. Calling the Virginia race a farce after voting for that criminal piece of shit is hilarious though.
10 years of Trump of calling Trump the worst American ever, a nazi a criminal etc... and now watch democrats use him to justify their voting for someone who wants to kills the children of his political opponents.
You can't make it up. I can't even say I'm happy at being so thoroughly vindicated in my position that the only objection democrats have to Trump's actions is the R next to his name.
10 years of Trump of calling Trump the worst American ever
Trump is the biggest asshole in the history of American politics, and Republicans voted for the biggest asshole in the history of American politics. Thats nothing to brag about son.
Killing kids for political purposes. Can't get more batshit unhinged than that.
Coupling the the cheering for and rationalization of Kirks murder with the election of this psycho makes it impossible to deny Democrats have embraced violence
Okay. So you are repeating yourself. How about a link to the local politics (which obviously did not matter to Virginians) so we ca see what you are going on about (and then we can search for a reason why state voters did not care). I take for granted you are writing about the Virginia Attorney General election results with Jones winning it.
Well, we're learning tonight that not long after a major conservative figure gets assassinated, the Democrat candidate for AG in a state can fantasize about murdering the children of his political opponents, scam his way out of community service after a reckless driving conviction, and not only will every Democrat on the ticket stand by him, but Democrats in the state will elect all of them to office.
I have confirmed nothing you are 'saying.' I have asked you to justify what you are writing here in 'triplicate.' Else you will leave me with no choice to choose and I will ignore your comments on the subject.
Character as evidenced by the sixteen very credible accusations of gross sexual misconduct lodged against Andrew Coumo which cost New Yorkers SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to settle? What you are doing failed! Voters can see through it like cellophane. BTW, I like Sliwa.
No one here approved of the Virginia attorney general candidate. You still approve of Trump even after all the garbage he is putting this country through. I have no shits to give to MAGA tonight.
Killing kids for political purposes. Can't get more batshit unhinged than that.
Which kids were killed by the democrat candidate? Oh, that's right, nobody's. All I'm hearing from the right are some whiners who voted for a convicted felon and admitted sexual predator and rapist complaining about a guy who sent some stupid texts. Pretty funny when you think about it. Their defense of their convicted criminal rapist is "Your guy said some things that if he did them would be criminal! See! Samesies!"...
he guy earnestly defended his support for hoping his opponent's kids get killed and die in their mother's arms when someone expressed revulsion. .
I'm not defending te inarticulate clown, but wasn't he expressing that in order for some people to ever come to terms with any kind of gun control, it would take their own children being shot, and then dying in their arms, and would they still be against any type of gun control ...? At least that's what I thought I read of his quote. And no, I don't think it ever should have been uttered, but it does have a different, though still wrong, when that context is applied. I'll admit I haven't been up on this or any other current events, but that's how i recall what I had read. If I am mistaken, please enlighten.
‘Virginia voted for someone who advocated for murdering kids over politics to be their chief law enforcement officer.(not to mention committed fraud on his community service hours he was assigned for driving almost 80 mph over the speed limit)’
In other words, exactly what many on the left are drawn to. We saw it with 2 assassination attempts of Trump and an assassination of Kirk.
Every one of the three suspects have been lauded on bluesky.
Oh good! So Kornacki is doing his routine on NBC tonight. I just turned over there to see if I can get a peek at him! Uh-uh! I don't see him (it's all local right now.)
As I predicted the blatantly racist extraordinarily expensive Islamaphobic advertising campaign waged against Mamdani failed. It was cringe. Cuomo came off ugly and hateful. Mamdani has the right stuff to lead all New Yorkers. A Big Win!
is success or failure could have a major impact in 2028
If the democrats ever get the trifecta again and since they won't have any moderates left to support the filibuster, the amount of taxpayer money that will get sent to broke cities will be mind boggling. That's the whole economic plan of the socialist running Chicago. Make things so bad the feds will step in.
Mamdani can't do the things he promised without support, which he has in spades! He is a leader. He is charismatic. He is smart. He is likable. The ugly campaign waged against him was disgusting. Coumo using that 9-11 backdrop against Zohran was obscene. It was offensive. While Mamdani was reaching out to and sitting down with and talking to Jewish leaders Andrew Coumo fanned the flames of prejudice and hatred. It was what? what do they call it?
I was told repeatedly by you and self professed economic conservatives that inflation higher than the 2.92% it as at now meant the problem had been solved and was completely normal. Or do you forget arguing that?
He put together the same coalition that ousted the shah, Muslims and idiot leftists who thought they could control the islamists. How’d did that work out for the gays in Iran?
Trump told voters prices would come way down. He did not promise that inflation would ease up, which it has not this year, but rather that the prices we paid would actually come down. He lied!
‘I hope he has enough sense to not claim a mandate won in a landslide. ’
I think the real mandate is sane Americans are starting to reject radical left wingers/ socialists/communists. Maybe (probably) Mandami will fuck the city up so bad NYC will not see another D mayor for a long rime to come….
but i’m not holding my breath on the intelligence on NYC residents.
but i’m not holding my breath on the intelligence on NYC residents.
That is totally insulting and a slap in the face of all NYers, and although I don't live there anymore, my daughter does. I am unhappy with the results, but I can see how it happened.
I live in Florida and find it to be very affordable, especially compared to most blue cities/states. Fact is, we are getting tired of seeing those NY, NJ and Conn license plates.
Nobody wants to go to FLA these days. Home insurance is expensive and hard to get. Home foreclosures are way up.
Mostly because the oceans are rising, Florida is going to be completely underwater in about 150 years. Bill Nye did a special about it, pretty interesting. Personally, I think it's sinking because of trump's fat ass.
My son is having a hard time selling his house in Navarre. He PCS'ed to Delaware a few months ago and is still working on selling his house and getting divorced.
The one thing I wish for Mamdani and his policies to REMEMBER to do good and that good comes in a variety of forms. As he must know every critical eye will be on him. So act RESPONSIBLY as mayor. Win over the people and defeat the lies that will be told by his critics starting day one of his term.
Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia and ended up electing radical leftists. New York imported millions of third world voters and elected a third world socialist who will do his best to impoverish New Yorkers the same way socialists destroyed the once prosperous Venezuela. So it goes.
as Obama and democrats were bragging 20 years ago, demographics are destiny….
Yes because democrats winning elections in deep blue cities/states is a message to the right. S/ It’s a message alright. The message is……watch us fuck up in real time.
50% in a hugely dem city in a 3 person race where if there was only one opponent and he may have still one but just barely is anything but a mandate. Even some on the fairly far left were not happy with his victory speech.
“We have an actual communist jihadist,” he continued. “It’s important to note, Mamdani is not a socialist. He is a full-on communist. He has called for seizing the means of production in our economy. He is a Marxist. That is profoundly dangerous. And look, I know there’s some Republicans who are saying, ‘Well, gosh, this’ll be good politically because he’ll be the face of the Democrat party.’ I think it’s terrible for America. I think New York is the largest city in America, it is the financial capital of the world, it is the media capital of the world. And New York, we are going to see New Yorkers die.”Ted Cruz
I remember the late great Molly Ivens saying Ted was, "Charm Free". I never got his attraction to voters. I guess that being a truly righteous asshole is a virtue in Texas.
Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia
Northern Virginia has always had many commuters who work in D.C. (Its right across the Potomic). Many, many people who work in D.C. have government jobs in the District, and live in Virginia. And many government workers have been fired by Trump. (Or Musk). THis has really pissed them off.
impoverish New Yorkers the same way socialists destroyed the once prosperous Venezuela.
Many people don't realize how yuge the entire Wall St (stock market) operation is. Not only the billionaires, but also people who support it. And people who work in stores and restaurants in the area.
Good Grief? Have those sayings that no form of socialism have ever worked never heard of Rural Electrical Cooperatives or Farmer's Co-op cotten gins and grain elevator? How about NYC cooperative apartment buildings? They have worked just fine for 100 years! As have Sweden and Denmark BTW. Bernie Sanders is a Democratic Socialist. How scary is Bernie?
I just saw an interview with Jamie Dimon. Apparently both he & Mamdani have said they are willing to work together for the benefit of the city— and there’s soon to be a phone call between the two of them.
Mandani's idol is Fiorello LaGuardia. He desires to be a progressive builder. A real leader. He deserves a chance to succeed. They threw everything at him and he won. People who did not experience the whole campaign cannot fathom the negatively Zohran overcame. Saying he was the Hamas candidate and photoshopping him in front of the falling twin towers repulsed voters. It was obscene. That strategy backfired.
We are a weak social democracy. Have been so since FDR days.
That is not socialism of course; socialism is where the majority collaboratively control the means of production and distribution rather than have same be controlled by a tiny minority. Today, the tiny minority are corporate executives and —to a much lesser degree— government.
The closest thing to socialism in the USA are employee-owned-and-operated businesses.
There is no migration path to socialism that I can see in the foreseeable future. Those who worry about it are being irrational. In contrast, the opposite seems to be occurring. Corporations are growing larger and stronger and wealth is being concentrated heavier in aristocracy. That is anti-socialism.
Social democracy, in contrast, is an economic system where the state provides social programs funded by tax dollars. In particular, funded by a highly regulated private sector.
Virginia didn’t “import” Democrats! There are lots of people who work for the government in Washington D.C.
Some live in the District but many live in the suburbs (Virginia & Maryland) and commute.
(BTW people who work for the federal government in DC have been moving to Virginia for many years. This trend has made parts of Virginia much more liberal over the years).
Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia and ended up electing radical leftists. New York imported millions of third world voters and elected a third world socialist who will do his best to impoverish New Yorkers the same way socialists destroyed the once prosperous Venezuela.
Before you state that as a fact, I would like you to prove it, (btw, I know you can't). And for the record, Sean, I didn't want Mamdani, but I am not going to make up fake boogie man arguments for what happened. Maybe you should understand the 5 boroughs of NY and see the breakouts by neighborhood, and you would understand better why this happened.
What they do have is lots of government workers. And Trump has caused many of them to not be paid for a while— some even been fired! (So how do you think they feel about Trump? And do you think that now most of them are voting Republican?)
Before you state that as a fact, I would like you to prove it, (btw, I know you can't
I await your apology.
ed . Maybe you should understand the 5 boroughs of NY and see the breakouts by neighborhood, and you would understand better why this happened.
But I'm 100% correct. Mamdani won because of immigrants and transplants. That's the reality. It looks like you need to better understand why this happened.
lol. Why should she apologize when you didn't prove your claim at all. You claimed "Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia and ended up electing radical leftists." Nothing in your link proves any of that horse shit. You claimed "New York imported millions of third world voters" but your link doesn't prove that either.
What does your link say?
"Those in the city for five to 10 years showed similar enthusiasm, backing Mamdani 78 percent to 19 percent. But among long-term residents and native New Yorkers, Cuomo’s message of stability and experience resonated more strongly, giving him a decisive edge in the city’s outer boroughs and older neighborhoods."
So, they show Mamdani had a huge lead with those who have lived in NY for 5 to 10 years. Where is the evidence that " millions of third world voters" have been imported? The article said nothing about where the newer New Yorkers were originally from. And besides, NY has always been a melting pot of immigrants, those who have lived there long term ARE immigrants themselves. The American citizens of NY have spoken, and they clearly don't give a fuck about what you or the rest of the conservatives think.
Once again, the 1.8 million cited in your link is a total of foreign-born voters and doesn't say how long they have been NY residents. They might have lived and been voting in NY for the last half century and still be a "foreign-born" voter.
What you seem to be complaining about is legal immigration and the fact that immigrants can become citizens and vote. Is there some difference to you between Milvia Ventura (in your link) who became a citizen in 2017 and someone who was born here? Are there different levels of 'American' to you? Should immigrants who become US citizens not get to vote because some bigots think new immigrants are inferior to the white conservative Christians whose ancestors immigrated much longer ago?
Americans in NY voted and just because you don't like the outcome, you're apparently attempting to claim they're somehow inferior because they weren't born here. This country was built by and for immigrants. Just because some sad little conservative bigots want to pretend they and their religion are superior and fantasize about creating some disgusting Christo-fascist nation where they are large and in charge, that doesn't mean the rational Americans have to go along with them.
NY just told Trump and Co. to go fuck themselves, and now Trumps sycophants are whining and crying and coming up with excuses which is, of course, what losers do.
Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are two sides of the same coin. That coin is the wage of hatred, ignorance and backtardedness. Both are equally offensive. Cuomo made Jewish voters cringe. His appeal to religious prejudice failed historically. Islamaphobes talking out both sides their ugly faces spreading fear and hatred are just as disgusting and objectionable as Antisemites. The existence of one form of irrational hate does not justify another brand of equally irrational hatred and fear.
No, they are not, and Cuomo just pointed out what Mamdani has said and where he stands on his positions. Even the most liberal Rabbi in NY was against him. You might want to hear why she actually decided to talk politics at Central Synagogue, which she never does.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing it from my heart. It gives me insight into the 'mind' of a Rabbi. I am a firm believer that no one of us can properly understand the interest of others unless those interest are shared aloud! (I do not often have the time to look up quality (significant) points of view in/from the Jewish perspective.) Very interesting how she begins and even more so how she ends.
Extremism is wrong. Antisemitism is wrong... and antimuslimism is wrong... because they are both extremist, condemning people for who they are rather than anything they have done.
Anti-Israel arguments have SOMETIMES been valid since Ariel Sharon washed his hands of the guilt for Sabra and Shatilla. Anti-Hamas arguments have (IMNAAHO) almost always been valid because of that organization's fundamental disrespect for human life.
Anti-Zionism is as vague as Zionism. In today's world, it's hard to get excited about parameters.
Hasan Piker just went full mask off at the Zohran election victory party, declares it a tragedy that the USA defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War. AOC embraced him on camera just two minutes before he said this….
Piker is the guy who also said America deserved 911… those who cheer for totalitarian regimes that murder millions and Islamic terrorism now lead the Democratic Party.
Check a mere association of Mandani's against the sixteen very credible accusations of gross sexual misconduct lodged against Andrew Coumo which cost New Yorkers SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to settle before they got to juries. New Yorkers did. Islamaphobia failed, but keep trying!
Sad how the same cuomosexuals who were salivating over Cuomo after he killed the olds during covid have turned on him as a monster now that they have someone even more radical to worship. Cuomo is learning what every leftist has learned since the French Revolution. There's always someone to their left who will hate more and will promise to take more.
But hey, the people who think America deserved 9-11 now run New York. I'm sure they won't blame you though when their policies fail, as they inevitably do. Voting for the people whose policies created poverty across the world will surely improve new york. It'll surely work this time. People who think America should have lost to the USSR have a great track record of success.
Coumo was defeated by Mandani in the primary. He ran as an independent. He should have stayed retired. Trump's endorsement of Coumo sealed the deal for Mandani Instead of learning from the fact that Islamaphobia failed MAGA double down. It was time for new leadership in NYC. The really odd part is MAGA supported Cuomo. Mandani won every borough handily except Staten Island where MAGA roam. Home to MAGS George Santos!
oumo was defeated by Mandani in the primary. He ran as an independent.
No kidding... Why do you think that changes what I wrote?
. The really odd part is MAGA supported Cuomo.
You seem surprised moderates didn't support the antisemitic, American hater with a child's understanding of economics?
hat worked so well for the gop last night.
The GOP has nothing to do with NYC and never did. It's a democratic city in a democratic state whose failures came home to roost. A healthy, thriving city would never elect someone that wants to destroy it what made it. That was an old fashioned war between leftists in which the more moderate one got the, what for now, is a proverbial guillotine.
Yet gullible fools will blame Republicans for what happens in NYC. It's amazing how voters in blue cities fall for it.
They'll keep electing the same people who constantly can't deliver what they promise and yet, like good sheep, follow instructions to blame others for the Democrats failures. Imagine being so daft as to think Republicans, and not the polices of the people who have controlled the city and state have caused the cost of living problems in NYC....
40 years from now, Democrats in NYC will be blaming Republicans when their power grid constantly fails and they don't have air conditioning.. democratic voters have accepted an bought into an unfalsifiable argument instead of exercising critical thinking. Democrats tell voters "if you give them more power, they can solve all of their problems." When they inevitably fail, they say "we just need is more power to solve all your problems." It's a never ending cycle that most democrats have bought into and can't think their way out of.
No, ignorant fools don't realize they lost! Do double down on stupid and hatred. It worked so well for the gop last night. /S
Democrats won. I credit them for winning. You don't seem to understand. You Lost! Trump's endorsement was a kiss of death. It was a blue landslide last night.
I had nothing to do with last night. My position, unlike many, certainly hasn't changed on Cuomo. A slightly less crazy Democrat lost to an America hating, anti-semite. So long as NYC doesn't ask for a federal bailout from what Mamdani does, it doesn't really matter to me. I don't visit NYC and have no wish to ever go back there again. Enjoy!
Well, now MAGA is defined as anyone who thinks it's good America, and not the USSR, won the cold war.
Less than 25 years after 9/11, per the new Democratic orthodoxy, it's not a bad thing for a mayoral candidate to pal around with a guy who thinks America deserved 911. To think otherwise is MAGA.
That's your definition of MAGA. I fought the Cold War so I'm very proud and happy the USSR was brought to its knees.
The real definition of MAGA are those that don't see beyond their own noses and don't care about anyone but themselves. Deport all immigrants? Sure! But they don't stop to think of the worker shortage there will be. Insult everyone to your heart's content? You betcha! That's what Beloved Leader taught us.
"Happy Days Are Here Again" in NYC. MAGA and the pooass denizens of podunk towns in dead end red states have been celebrating the downfall of New York City my whole life. They are jealous, hate their lives and wrong.
It seems like every time there's an election in NYC he's the Republican candidate for the office. Although its obvious he'll never win the election, he always insists he has a chance (which he doesn't).
curtis started off in denver, but he and his street gang ran into some local trouble by harassing people. so then the public turned against him and his friends. they were spontaneously getting their asses kicked up and down colfax, so he had to move to NYC.
Well, at least this election is in the can. Everybody can take the rest of the week off but starting next week the hammering and prognosticating for 2026 can begin. Only twelve more months of each side telling us repeatedly how wrong and evil the other side is. Oh joy..
Latinos went bigly for Democrats. Gosh! That's such a surprise! Who could have imagined that trampling a particular demographic's rights might provoke them?? 🤨🤨🤨
I'll be interested in seeing the projections of Latino votes in Texas, Arizona, et cetera.
Latinos went bigly for Democrats. Gosh! That's such a surprise! Who could have imagined that trampling a particular demographic's rights might provoke them??
The first time Trump ran for president he did surprisingly well with Latinos (and also younger voters). I suppose it was because he was definitely "different" and they hoped he be better than most other candidates. But there was a significant shift in their perceptions this time around.
What is up with allowing rank anti Muslim talk on a site that is so stridently against antisemitism?
Possibly its also the perception that he a political extremist. -
I heard many people says he's a danger because he's a "Socialist" (although many of these folks don't really know what Socialism is). I seen a few Republicans on TV news actually saying he's a Communist!
So it may be that some people don't like two things about him (even though they don't really know much about "Socialism" or Islam.
Zohran Mamdani wasn't the only Muslim and ethnic minority politician to win in Tuesday night’s multiple elections in the US. A host of other candidates claimed victory on 4 November.
Ghazala Hashmi , an educator and an academic administrator from Virginia, made history on Tuesday by becoming the first-ever Muslim and Indian American to be elected to statewide office in the US, after her victory in the race for Lieutenant-Governor.
I live in NY, the Bronx, and was subjected to months of unfair, untruthful and plainly anti Muslim negative advertising from Cuomo and his supporters. They thought it would succeed. NYC saw through it. The pro Israel contingent actually does much harm to all Jews and to Israel by indulging in Anti Muslim rhetoric and do not even realize it. They hurt the credibility of Jews. It is awful PR. That has certainly been the case here in NYC regarding the massively expensive negative ad campaign waged against Mamdani by Andrew Cuomo and the MAGA. They completely abandoned the truth and it blew back on them. They need to quit it. MAGA support ultimately harmed NY Jews this cycle. Even some liberal rabbis participated in character assassination as regards Zohran Mandani. More and more Jewish New Yorkers decry such Islamaphobia. They saw how ultimately it harmed NY Jews. And, it did not work. Voters saw all this and voted accordingly.

I disagree-- in part.
It wasn't any islamophobia that got Mandani elected. Rather, it was simply that a lot of people liked what Mandami stood for.
To put it another way: even if Cuomo didn't run and even if there was no Islamophobia, Mandami would've won anyway..
It wasn't any islamophobia that got Mandani elected.
One might even imagine that within a signifiant portion of American voters, "religion / national origin" is of little importance. Wouldn't that be great??
Of course, such a radical approach would only be welcomed on the left...
e, such a radical approach would only be welcomed on the left...
Is this a joke? Put aside the rather obvious fact that the left demands the government discriminate the basis of race, has adopted a civic religion that splits people into oppressor/oppressed group but to believe that would mean ignoring what's happened in politics your entire life. The Democrat party requires almost uniform block by blacks to remain competitive. When black people dissent from leftist orthodoxy, they are attacked with racist slurs. Forgot national politics, if you simply paid attention to this site when a black conservative is mentioned you'd know how ridiculous it is to claim the left isn't consumed by racial politics.
Wow. That's rich coming from people who literally HATE and OUTLAW: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! And then, try (their damnedest) to call it EQUALITY and REASONABLE in a COUNTRY FULL TO ITS 'NIPPLES IN'. . . wait for it. . . (another buzzword) "People of Color"—including Whites.
ming from people who literally HATE and OUTLAW: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Exactly, you favor race discrimination and try to hide it through distorted word games. a rose is rose is a rose by any other and what you call DEI is just old fashioned race discrimination by another name.
Yeah? Well that is 'simple' rhetoric. Where is your 'argument' againstdiversity, equity, and inclusion? And AFTER you present that argument. . . lead in to why MAGA supporters think it is OKAY to demonize and then AGGRESSIVELY ATTACK their fellow citizens whom are not in their grouping.
I will assume that FEELINGs is fueling this distrust of Others. Because, until something different-factual is shared I have no cause to suspect anything other than FEELINGS drives the rhetoric.
So nothing is 'breaking forth' from MAGA about DEI beyond negative rhetorical FEELINGS. . . .
Anyway, here is the DEI 'model' executive order from 1965:
Executive Order No. 11246 September 28, 1965, 30 F.R. 12319

Sean, read the excerpt and the adjoining resource link. See if you can find something NEGATIVE in it.
At a macro level, the Ds should do quite well as long as Trump is in office. This is a good indication that the electorate might actually see that electing Trump was a terrible mistake and will act to mitigate that mistake as much as possible by electing Ds. The objective of course is to produce a legislative branch that will serve as a constitutional check on the executive branch.

I usually don't check political polls on a regular basis, And it seems they usually dont change significantly from day to day. But recently (the last week or two?) IIRC Trump's approval rating had kept going down...significantly.
In addition to his cruelty in various areas, quite recently it seems like his health, (including his mental capacity) has been getting much worse.
I suspect a factor is that many of the Trump supporters are starting to feel local pain (pocketbook) and (although they will never admit they were wrong) are not all that thrilled that he has no constitutional check on the weekly crap he does.
Yes, according to some around here half the Jews in NYC are actually antisemites who must support Hamas and hate Israel. It is maddening! "Perhaps oneday they will join us, and the world can live as one" - J Lennon
I suspect it was the bro vote that put Trump over the top. The ones who typically wouldn’t spend the time to vote because they pay no attention to politics, and they’re too busy watching brainless reality tv and drinking copious amounts of shitty beer, somehow got it in their heads (TikTok, Rogan, etc.) that going to Trump rallies and showing up to vote for DJT would be just as cool. Now they’re seeing that what they did is having a very negative impact on their lives and the lives of people they actually care about.
After this election NY Muslims and many others may rightly have a lower opinion of both Jews in general and specifically of the NYC Jewish community. Is it now reasonable for NY Muslims to fear NY Jews? Muslims in Israel certainly already fear Jewish politicians and the Israeli armed forces. The sad part hetecis, it was mostly not NY Jews we saw openly being Islamaphobic. It was the MAGAs. We saw how MAGA's Islamaphobia inflamed antisemitism. It works both ways. You see? Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are two sides of the same coin. Miror images. The wages of hate and prejudice.
In January it is 25 years since 9-11. Cuomo spreading Islamaphobia was ugly and New Yorkers rejected it and him. The Cuomo campaign did some real harm to Jews. He is not even Jewish. Why should he care if Jews suffer years of blowback because of him? His Islamaphobic campaign leaves lasting damage to everyone in NYC. We all trust each other less. The goodwill long earned by Jewish New Yorkers was squandered by Cuomo and his MAGA supporters. That is exactly what history will say when this mayoral race is recorded.
A significant number of very prominent NY Jews and Jewish organizations endorsed Mamdani. The normal wall of solidarity against Muslim candidates fell apart. The Jewish community is very split over Mamdani and the tone of Cuomo's campaign. The amount of false misleading disinformation and fear mongering harnessed against Zohron backfired and actually helped him.
Virginia Democrats alreay celebrating a big win! Turn out has been extraordinary. MAGA are rebuked!
Great news for America.
California turnout for Prop 50 looks really good, too. The polls will be closing in 2 hours. Expecting very good news.
Here we go big guy! Polls close at the top of the hour!
LANDSLIDE!!!!!
Yes, with the exception of VA governor, blue candidates winning in deep blue cities/ states is different than the last 40 years. S/
If they were truly landslides, they were certainly unexpected s/.

maga excuses for losing this election -
You mean the same excuses they always use whenever a race doesn't go their way?
"All of the Above." They will not listen! They have blinders on and all their holes plugs. You know, alpha males never get why people don't like their politics!
Americans AWAKEN!
T-Diddy Rump Roast is pissed. Pooing his diapers like it was Niagara Falls. I can't wait until "Dirty Diaper Donnie" is seeped away in the flood of his own, uncontrolled doings.
Democrat Spanberger has been declared winner of the Virginia governors race by a wide margin!
Awesome!
Amen, Brother Ben!
Mickie Sherrill, the Democrat, is leading in early returns coming for the New Jersey governor.
Sherrill is the projected winner.
Mikie Sherrill wins NJ governor race - PIX11
NEW JERSEY (PIX11) — Democrat Mikie Sherrill has won the election for New Jersey governor, according to Decision Desk HQ. Congresswoman Sherrill defeated Republican candidate Jack …
More great news.
What is 'funny' (not) and interesting all the same is MSNBC is still saying New Jersey Governor race is "Too close to call." (As of this comment.)
Also, I could have sworn when I first turned on election coverage MSNBC was stating New Jersey's governor race was projected for Mikie Sherrill!
MSNBC just called it for Sherrill.
Pennsylvania voters have voted to retain all three Democratic Supreme Court Justices by huge margins.
Good!
Excellent!
I was in PA about 6 weeks ago and I saw signs up everywhere for retaining imcumbent SC justices
That is great.
The cost of living in NYC was called the voters number one issue in exit polling.
If previous mayors had worked on this properly maybe Mamdani would not have emerged.
His ilk conquered that problem in Venezuela, Cuba etc... Throw the antisemitism on top of his economic illiteracy and I'm sure it will only got worse.
Of course, he'll blame "capitalism" and "billionaires" when he fails and his ignorant voting base will lap it up.
Maybe conservatives should try harder to make housing affordable.
Economic populism is one of the reasons Trump won. Unfortunately he is now sticking the chumps in the ass.
It's definitely conservatives fault housing is too expensive in New York City. Definitely.
I am 'on it' as I am "all in" for Antonio Villaraigosa antonio2026.com former mayor of Los Angeles in 2026 because he says he will "hold the line" on property taxes ! It's a 'voter issue' for me!
Did I miss something? Did Cuomo run on reducing the cost of living in New York ?
Cuomo ran on irrational fear of Muslims.
It did not play in NYC. Cuomo lost badly.
‘Cuomo ran on irrational fear of Muslims.’
Can you show us where he did that?
Yes, there were many. One must have bern living in a hole not to know. Tens of millions were spent by Cuomo and his backers against Mamdani to purchase rank Islamaphobic anti Mamdani ads...
Cuomo invokes fears of Mamdani’s Muslim faith in final days of NYC mayoral race | CNN Politics
with a broken bottle
I'll just sit back and wait to see how long it takes for any buyer's remorse to set in on these latest elections, especially in New Yotk City. My guess is that it will happen sooner than later.
The 2 democrat governors just elected couldn't be more moderate.
that's a good thing.
Couldn't be any faster than it set in for those who thought Trump was going to bring down prices and cut inflation in half and instead got rising prices and tariff wars.
This election was in response to Trump. This was the first of many 'buyers remorse' elections as America kicks the felonious grifter-in-Chief and all his sycophants to the curb.
So what was not true about what Cuomo has said?
Lots of sinkholes in Florida, lol.
We had a battle, here, in Hamilton, Ohio when the county wanted to INCREASE REAL ESTATE TAXES.
The fury of "ANTI ICE PROSTESTS" shut that corrupted increase taxes down.
My taxes would have increased by $2000, while developers, corporations, new businesses flocked into our community to get huge tax abatements. And, greedy, uber rich "Wheelers-Dealers" got richer.
Political corruption is rampant in all 8-10 cities I worked in, under the National Main Street Center for Historic Preservation Umbrella!
Every time he opened his CORRUPT MOUTH!
So you, too, have nothing.
Virginia voted for someone who advocated for murdering kids over politics to be their chief law enforcement officer.(not to mention committed fraud on his community service hours he was assigned for driving almost 80 mph over the speed limit)
There's a reason Franklin said a Republic, if you can keep it. When voters vote like that, it pretty much makes the concept of a republic a farce.
Tens of millions voted for a 34 time convicted felon and admitted sexual predator who was held liable by the courts for rape. Calling the Virginia race a farce after voting for that criminal piece of shit is hilarious though.
Virginians are smart. They did not split the ticket!
10 years of Trump of calling Trump the worst American ever, a nazi a criminal etc... and now watch democrats use him to justify their voting for someone who wants to kills the children of his political opponents.
You can't make it up. I can't even say I'm happy at being so thoroughly vindicated in my position that the only objection democrats have to Trump's actions is the R next to his name.
Total nonsense.
Trump is the biggest asshole in the history of American politics, and Republicans voted for the biggest asshole in the history of American politics. Thats nothing to brag about son.
Killing kids for political purposes. Can't get more batshit unhinged than that.
Coupling the the cheering for and rationalization of Kirks murder with the election of this psycho makes it impossible to deny Democrats have embraced violence
Nope. Trump never advocated killing his opponents kids for his ideology.
Okay. So you are repeating yourself. How about a link to the local politics (which obviously did not matter to Virginians) so we ca see what you are going on about (and then we can search for a reason why state voters did not care). I take for granted you are writing about the Virginia Attorney General election results with Jones winning it.
Well, we're learning tonight that not long after a major conservative figure gets assassinated, the Democrat candidate for AG in a state can fantasize about murdering the children of his political opponents, scam his way out of community service after a reckless driving conviction, and not only will every Democrat on the ticket stand by him, but Democrats in the state will elect all of them to office.
So character doesn't matter at all to Democrats. Just like I've been saying. Thanks for confirming.
I'm sorry! What is your issue here? Because now you are impugning 'everybody' in the state?
No, he only made fun of an 80 year old man getting hit the head with a hammer.
Spare us.
Just the people who voted for him, of course.
I have confirmed nothing you are 'saying.' I have asked you to justify what you are writing here in 'triplicate.' Else you will leave me with no choice to choose and I will ignore your comments on the subject.
Can you not tell the difference between those two things?
The guy earnestly defended his support for hoping his opponent's kids get killed and die in their mother's arms when someone expressed revulsion. .
Of course you did. Whether you understand what you did or not is irrelevant.
Character as evidenced by the sixteen very credible accusations of gross sexual misconduct lodged against Andrew Coumo which cost New Yorkers SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to settle? What you are doing failed! Voters can see through it like cellophane. BTW, I like Sliwa.
No! You have gone way beyond just slamming the voters for the new AG of Virginia!
That is full of ''it! And because you think to waste my time (and this board's) with rhetoric over substance about it. We're done for this board!
No one here approved of the Virginia attorney general candidate. You still approve of Trump even after all the garbage he is putting this country through. I have no shits to give to MAGA tonight.
Which kids were killed by the democrat candidate? Oh, that's right, nobody's. All I'm hearing from the right are some whiners who voted for a convicted felon and admitted sexual predator and rapist complaining about a guy who sent some stupid texts. Pretty funny when you think about it. Their defense of their convicted criminal rapist is "Your guy said some things that if he did them would be criminal! See! Samesies!"...
I'm not defending te inarticulate clown, but wasn't he expressing that in order for some people to ever come to terms with any kind of gun control, it would take their own children being shot, and then dying in their arms, and would they still be against any type of gun control ...? At least that's what I thought I read of his quote. And no, I don't think it ever should have been uttered, but it does have a different, though still wrong, when that context is applied. I'll admit I haven't been up on this or any other current events, but that's how i recall what I had read. If I am mistaken, please enlighten.
I wouldn't have voted for the piece of shit if he had stayed a democrat. He's not worthy of the position of POTUS
It is time to SAVE OUR COUNTRY from the UBER RICH!
And, so are you!
Amen, Brother Ben!
‘Virginia voted for someone who advocated for murdering kids over politics to be their chief law enforcement officer.(not to mention committed fraud on his community service hours he was assigned for driving almost 80 mph over the speed limit)’
In other words, exactly what many on the left are drawn to. We saw it with 2 assassination attempts of Trump and an assassination of Kirk.
Every one of the three suspects have been lauded on bluesky.
The image of Steve Kornacki above is interesting, since Ali Velshi is at the 'big board' tonight on MSNBC. (Steve Kornacki went to NBC directly.)
That pic is of Kornacki on the board at NBC, you can see it in the corner of his screen.
Oh good! So Kornacki is doing his routine on NBC tonight. I just turned over there to see if I can get a peek at him! Uh-uh! I don't see him (it's all local right now.)
Ahh! CNN is projecting (right now) Mikie Sherrill is the new governor or New Jersey! Hooray!
As I predicted the blatantly racist extraordinarily expensive Islamaphobic advertising campaign waged against Mamdani failed. It was cringe. Cuomo came off ugly and hateful. Mamdani has the right stuff to lead all New Yorkers. A Big Win!
Trump endorsing Cuomo was the Vampire's kiss!
That figure! Cons vote for Cons, that were the MONEY is. They both got clobbered.
Zohran Wins!
Nomo Cuomo!
Love that, "NOMO CUOMO"!
He has 50.7%
I hope he has enough sense to not claim a mandate won in a landslide.
Let's hope he implements everything he campaigned on.
So long, of course, as the rest of America isn't called to bail NYC out.
That would be a first with any politician. For some reason there's no difference between win and mandate
His success or failure could have a major impact in 2028
What? Will he be running for president? See 1.2.2.
If the democrats ever get the trifecta again and since they won't have any moderates left to support the filibuster, the amount of taxpayer money that will get sent to broke cities will be mind boggling. That's the whole economic plan of the socialist running Chicago. Make things so bad the feds will step in.
Mamdani can't do the things he promised without support, which he has in spades! He is a leader. He is charismatic. He is smart. He is likable. The ugly campaign waged against him was disgusting. Coumo using that 9-11 backdrop against Zohran was obscene. It was offensive. While Mamdani was reaching out to and sitting down with and talking to Jewish leaders Andrew Coumo fanned the flames of prejudice and hatred. It was what? what do they call it?
Trump had nine months to do something about inflation. He acted! He put tariffs on everything raising prices for voters...
Let's talk about failed campaign promises
I was told repeatedly by you and self professed economic conservatives that inflation higher than the 2.92% it as at now meant the problem had been solved and was completely normal. Or do you forget arguing that?
He put together the same coalition that ousted the shah, Muslims and idiot leftists who thought they could control the islamists. How’d did that work out for the gays in Iran?
Can’t wait to see you spin the democrats in Maine nominating a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo.
Trump told voters prices would come way down. He did not promise that inflation would ease up, which it has not this year, but rather that the prices we paid would actually come down. He lied!
Like Pete Hegseth's Nazi tattoos?
‘I hope he has enough sense to not claim a mandate won in a landslide. ’
I think the real mandate is sane Americans are starting to reject radical left wingers/ socialists/communists. Maybe (probably) Mandami will fuck the city up so bad NYC will not see another D mayor for a long rime to come….
but i’m not holding my breath on the intelligence on NYC residents.
Sounds like you got a real man crush going there bud, such lavish praise and adoration!
The overall inflation rate since Trump was elected has remained is essentially the same and even dropped slightly.
Fact check: Has overall inflation eased under Donald Trump? :: WRAL.com
Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025
That is totally insulting and a slap in the face of all NYers, and although I don't live there anymore, my daughter does. I am unhappy with the results, but I can see how it happened.
[✘] My statement stands
It's not MAGA it's MALS, Make America Look Stupid. In that regard Trump has outdone every prior administration, even his own.
Anybody that can afford to is going to, or anywhere else that isn't run by HAMAS supporters.
Nobody wants to go to FLA these days. Home insurance is expensive and hard to get. Home foreclosures are way up.
Really?
With all the Canadians selling, I'd have thought the market would be depressed... 😁
I'm just repeating what I heard on the news this morning
Ha!!!!!!
I live in Florida and find it to be very affordable, especially compared to most blue cities/states.
Fact is, we are getting tired of seeing those NY, NJ and Conn license plates.
Mostly because the oceans are rising, Florida is going to be completely underwater in about 150 years. Bill Nye did a special about it, pretty interesting. Personally, I think it's sinking because of trump's fat ass.
LOL!
My son is having a hard time selling his house in Navarre. He PCS'ed to Delaware a few months ago and is still working on selling his house and getting divorced.
And, their governor is a CROOK!
The one thing I wish for Mamdani and his policies to REMEMBER to do good and that good comes in a variety of forms. As he must know every critical eye will be on him. So act RESPONSIBLY as mayor. Win over the people and defeat the lies that will be told by his critics starting day one of his term.
Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia and ended up electing radical leftists. New York imported millions of third world voters and elected a third world socialist who will do his best to impoverish New Yorkers the same way socialists destroyed the once prosperous Venezuela. So it goes.
as Obama and democrats were bragging 20 years ago, demographics are destiny….
.
It was not just the one election for Mayor of New York the gop and the oligarchs lost tonight. It was an across the board repudiation of MAGA!
Yes because democrats winning elections in deep blue cities/states is a message to the right. S/
It’s a message alright.
The message is……watch us fuck up in real time.
No, the message is leadership counts. The best candidate won, by a mile...
In what world is 50.4% of the votes a mile?
I agree 50% is not a mandate. Half can never be a mandate.
When Trump won with 49% though, he called it the greatest landslide in the history of the universe.
He did. He was wrong.
And their cats!
In a three man race over 50% is by miles.
50% in a hugely dem city in a 3 person race where if there was only one opponent and he may have still one but just barely is anything but a mandate. Even some on the fairly far left were not happy with his victory speech.
just start calling all the democrats communists now, it will save you time later and put you in sync with your leader
Lying liars lie.
Hooda thunk it?
Ted Cruz is '\"used up"!
I remember the late great Molly Ivens saying Ted was, "Charm Free". I never got his attraction to voters. I guess that being a truly righteous asshole is a virtue in Texas.
Northern Virginia has always had many commuters who work in D.C. (Its right across the Potomic). Many, many people who work in D.C. have government jobs in the District, and live in Virginia. And many government workers have been fired by Trump. (Or Musk). THis has really pissed them off.
They are not grateful for this...
Despite their lame bravado in defeat, huge victories celebrated by Democrats last night scare the daylites out of Trump and MAGA.
The kicker is that contrary to his campaign promises Trump's tarrifs have exacerbated inflation. Prices are again rising rapidly...
Trump hasn't done anything to stop inflation.
It is now Trump's economy. He has to own it.
Many people don't realize how yuge the entire Wall St (stock market) operation is. Not only the billionaires, but also people who support it. And people who work in stores and restaurants in the area.
Most of these people are not Socialists!
Good Grief? Have those sayings that no form of socialism have ever worked never heard of Rural Electrical Cooperatives or Farmer's Co-op cotten gins and grain elevator? How about NYC cooperative apartment buildings? They have worked just fine for 100 years! As have Sweden and Denmark BTW. Bernie Sanders is a Democratic Socialist. How scary is Bernie?
Also, re: “Socialism”: IMO the U.S. is neither totally Capitalist nor totally Socialist. Rather we are a mixed economy with some aspects of both.
I just saw an interview with Jamie Dimon. Apparently both he & Mamdani have said they are willing to work together for the benefit of the city— and there’s soon to be a phone call between the two of them.
Mandani's idol is Fiorello LaGuardia. He desires to be a progressive builder. A real leader. He deserves a chance to succeed. They threw everything at him and he won. People who did not experience the whole campaign cannot fathom the negatively Zohran overcame. Saying he was the Hamas candidate and photoshopping him in front of the falling twin towers repulsed voters. It was obscene. That strategy backfired.
We are a weak social democracy. Have been so since FDR days.
That is not socialism of course; socialism is where the majority collaboratively control the means of production and distribution rather than have same be controlled by a tiny minority. Today, the tiny minority are corporate executives and —to a much lesser degree— government.
The closest thing to socialism in the USA are employee-owned-and-operated businesses.
There is no migration path to socialism that I can see in the foreseeable future. Those who worry about it are being irrational. In contrast, the opposite seems to be occurring. Corporations are growing larger and stronger and wealth is being concentrated heavier in aristocracy. That is anti-socialism.
Social democracy, in contrast, is an economic system where the state provides social programs funded by tax dollars. In particular, funded by a highly regulated private sector.
How, exactly, would a state import Democrats? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Virginia didn’t “import” Democrats!
There are lots of people who work for the government in Washington D.C.
Some live in the District but many live in the suburbs (Virginia & Maryland) and commute.
(BTW people who work for the federal government in DC have been moving to Virginia for many years. This trend has made parts of Virginia much more liberal over the years).
Government workers move to Virginia and support the party of big government....I'm surprised this is confusing to people.
So... Government workers are self importing? When Mexicans do that it's illegal. Maybe 2000% tariffs would help.
Before you state that as a fact, I would like you to prove it, (btw, I know you can't). And for the record, Sean, I didn't want Mamdani, but I am not going to make up fake boogie man arguments for what happened. Maybe you should understand the 5 boroughs of NY and see the breakouts by neighborhood, and you would understand better why this happened.
Virginia has lots of “Radical Leftists”. WTF?
What they do have is lots of government workers. And Trump has caused many of them to not be paid for a while— some even been fired! (So how do you think they feel about Trump? And do you think that now most of them are voting Republican?)
Before you state that as a fact, I would like you to prove it, (btw, I know you can't
I await your apology.
ed . Maybe you should understand the 5 boroughs of NY and see the breakouts by neighborhood, and you would understand better why this happened.
But I'm 100% correct. Mamdani won because of immigrants and transplants. That's the reality. It looks like you need to better understand why this happened.
Only the stupid ones could believe the President is to blame because 40 odd democrats are filibustering a bipartisan bill to fund the government.
lol. Why should she apologize when you didn't prove your claim at all. You claimed "Virginia imported democrats into northern Virginia and ended up electing radical leftists." Nothing in your link proves any of that horse shit. You claimed "New York imported millions of third world voters" but your link doesn't prove that either.
What does your link say?
So, they show Mamdani had a huge lead with those who have lived in NY for 5 to 10 years. Where is the evidence that " millions of third world voters" have been imported? The article said nothing about where the newer New Yorkers were originally from. And besides, NY has always been a melting pot of immigrants, those who have lived there long term ARE immigrants themselves. The American citizens of NY have spoken, and they clearly don't give a fuck about what you or the rest of the conservatives think.
[ ✘ ] Y ou claimed "New York imported millions of third world voters" b
Again, you don't know this? Even in 2017, NYC claimed 1.8 million foreign born voters and its higher now.
https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/11/03/new-citizens-cast-first-votes-in-nyc/[ ✘ ]
Once again, the 1.8 million cited in your link is a total of foreign-born voters and doesn't say how long they have been NY residents. They might have lived and been voting in NY for the last half century and still be a "foreign-born" voter.
What you seem to be complaining about is legal immigration and the fact that immigrants can become citizens and vote. Is there some difference to you between Milvia Ventura (in your link) who became a citizen in 2017 and someone who was born here? Are there different levels of 'American' to you? Should immigrants who become US citizens not get to vote because some bigots think new immigrants are inferior to the white conservative Christians whose ancestors immigrated much longer ago?
Americans in NY voted and just because you don't like the outcome, you're apparently attempting to claim they're somehow inferior because they weren't born here. This country was built by and for immigrants. Just because some sad little conservative bigots want to pretend they and their religion are superior and fantasize about creating some disgusting Christo-fascist nation where they are large and in charge, that doesn't mean the rational Americans have to go along with them.
NY just told Trump and Co. to go fuck themselves, and now Trumps sycophants are whining and crying and coming up with excuses which is, of course, what losers do.
Oh, the tired tirade!
Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are two sides of the same coin. That coin is the wage of hatred, ignorance and backtardedness. Both are equally offensive. Cuomo made Jewish voters cringe. His appeal to religious prejudice failed historically. Islamaphobes talking out both sides their ugly faces spreading fear and hatred are just as disgusting and objectionable as Antisemites. The existence of one form of irrational hate does not justify another brand of equally irrational hatred and fear.
No, they are not, and Cuomo just pointed out what Mamdani has said and where he stands on his positions. Even the most liberal Rabbi in NY was against him. You might want to hear why she actually decided to talk politics at Central Synagogue, which she never does.
Here is the video:
Interesting. Thank you for sharing it from my heart. It gives me insight into the 'mind' of a Rabbi. I am a firm believer that no one of us can properly understand the interest of others unless those interest are shared aloud! (I do not often have the time to look up quality (significant) points of view in/from the Jewish perspective.) Very interesting how she begins and even more so how she ends.
Yes, Perrie they are equally disgusting. In this case you are misinformed and wrong.
Coumo waged a dirty campaign and he lost.
I get it. You think Islamaphobia is justified...
Extremism is wrong. Antisemitism is wrong... and antimuslimism is wrong... because they are both extremist, condemning people for who they are rather than anything they have done.
Anti-Israel arguments have SOMETIMES been valid since Ariel Sharon washed his hands of the guilt for Sabra and Shatilla. Anti-Hamas arguments have (IMNAAHO) almost always been valid because of that organization's fundamental disrespect for human life.
Anti-Zionism is as vague as Zionism. In today's world, it's hard to get excited about parameters.
Hasan Piker just went full mask off at the Zohran election victory party, declares it a tragedy that the USA defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War. AOC embraced him on camera just two minutes before he said this….
Piker is the guy who also said America deserved 911… those who cheer for totalitarian regimes that murder millions and Islamic terrorism now lead the Democratic Party.
Check a mere association of Mandani's against the sixteen very credible accusations of gross sexual misconduct lodged against Andrew Coumo which cost New Yorkers SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to settle before they got to juries. New Yorkers did. Islamaphobia failed, but keep trying!
Sad how the same cuomosexuals who were salivating over Cuomo after he killed the olds during covid have turned on him as a monster now that they have someone even more radical to worship. Cuomo is learning what every leftist has learned since the French Revolution. There's always someone to their left who will hate more and will promise to take more.
But hey, the people who think America deserved 9-11 now run New York. I'm sure they won't blame you though when their policies fail, as they inevitably do. Voting for the people whose policies created poverty across the world will surely improve new york. It'll surely work this time. People who think America should have lost to the USSR have a great track record of success.
Coumo was defeated by Mandani in the primary. He ran as an independent. He should have stayed retired. Trump's endorsement of Coumo sealed the deal for Mandani Instead of learning from the fact that Islamaphobia failed MAGA double down. It was time for new leadership in NYC. The really odd part is MAGA supported Cuomo. Mandani won every borough handily except Staten Island where MAGA roam. Home to MAGS George Santos!
Trump pardoning him didn't help Cuomo.
Do keep doing what you are doing though.
That worked so well for the gop last night.
No kidding... Why do you think that changes what I wrote?
. The really odd part is MAGA supported Cuomo.
You seem surprised moderates didn't support the antisemitic, American hater with a child's understanding of economics?
hat worked so well for the gop last night.
The GOP has nothing to do with NYC and never did. It's a democratic city in a democratic state whose failures came home to roost. A healthy, thriving city would never elect someone that wants to destroy it what made it. That was an old fashioned war between leftists in which the more moderate one got the, what for now, is a proverbial guillotine.
True, the gop candidate got only 7%...
Fact is Republicans lost everywhere.
Yet gullible fools will blame Republicans for what happens in NYC. It's amazing how voters in blue cities fall for it.
They'll keep electing the same people who constantly can't deliver what they promise and yet, like good sheep, follow instructions to blame others for the Democrats failures. Imagine being so daft as to think Republicans, and not the polices of the people who have controlled the city and state have caused the cost of living problems in NYC....
40 years from now, Democrats in NYC will be blaming Republicans when their power grid constantly fails and they don't have air conditioning.. democratic voters have accepted an bought into an unfalsifiable argument instead of exercising critical thinking. Democrats tell voters "if you give them more power, they can solve all of their problems." When they inevitably fail, they say "we just need is more power to solve all your problems." It's a never ending cycle that most democrats have bought into and can't think their way out of.
No, ignorant fools don't realize they lost! Do double down on stupid and hatred. It worked so well for the gop last night. /S
Democrats won. I credit them for winning. You don't seem to understand. You Lost! Trump's endorsement was a kiss of death. It was a blue landslide last night.
MAGA are moderates?????
I had nothing to do with last night. My position, unlike many, certainly hasn't changed on Cuomo. A slightly less crazy Democrat lost to an America hating, anti-semite. So long as NYC doesn't ask for a federal bailout from what Mamdani does, it doesn't really matter to me. I don't visit NYC and have no wish to ever go back there again. Enjoy!
Well, now MAGA is defined as anyone who thinks it's good America, and not the USSR, won the cold war.
Less than 25 years after 9/11, per the new Democratic orthodoxy, it's not a bad thing for a mayoral candidate to pal around with a guy who thinks America deserved 911. To think otherwise is MAGA.
That's your definition of MAGA. I fought the Cold War so I'm very proud and happy the USSR was brought to its knees.
The real definition of MAGA are those that don't see beyond their own noses and don't care about anyone but themselves. Deport all immigrants? Sure! But they don't stop to think of the worker shortage there will be. Insult everyone to your heart's content? You betcha! That's what Beloved Leader taught us.
Don't know if this is true. He won and he should be sworn in. Let the chips fall where they may
"Happy Days Are Here Again" in NYC. MAGA and the pooass denizens of podunk towns in dead end red states have been celebrating the downfall of New York City my whole life. They are jealous, hate their lives and wrong.
‘You Lost’
No, sane NYC residents lost
Yawn! That is so lame. Really, try harder.
You are letting down the red team again.
Native New Yorkers lost. They voted for Cuomo.
Mamdani won because won he won among transplants and immigrants. The more time voters spent in New York, the more they supported Cuomo.
Mandani got over fifty percent of the vote in a three man race so no that isn't true...
Of course it is true. Your facts are irrelevant to the truth and your claim is not compatible with math.
I think you’ve got your islands mixed up! Santos’ district was on Long Island not Staten Island!
Lol. No. That's this board's definition of MAGA. Bill clinton in 1995 is ultra MAGA the way that term gets used here.
I fought the Cold War so I'm very proud and happy the USSR was brought to its knees.
And now New York is electing people who think you were on the wrong side.
Wait, I thought you hated Cuomo because of the covid mess? Now ya like him? Pro-tip... Pick a side and fucking go with it. Jesus.
CDS... Jesus, 30 fucking years later and you're still crying about Clinton?
He lives in their head
Well, once in the 'rolodex' - you can call an 'incident' up anytime for service to whatever 'cause.'
Curtis Sliwa, the gop candidate for NYC mayor, keeps eighteen cats in his 350 S F apartment. He is a loveable and honest crazy cat lady man.
It seems like every time there's an election in NYC he's the Republican candidate for the office. Although its obvious he'll never win the election, he always insists he has a chance (which he doesn't).
curtis started off in denver, but he and his street gang ran into some local trouble by harassing people. so then the public turned against him and his friends. they were spontaneously getting their asses kicked up and down colfax, so he had to move to NYC.
Well, at least this election is in the can. Everybody can take the rest of the week off but starting next week the hammering and prognosticating for 2026 can begin. Only twelve more months of each side telling us repeatedly how wrong and evil the other side is. Oh joy..
Right? (shaking my head)
It can't be. I still have a half dozen good NYC memes I haven't used.
This morning we are getting finer details.
Latinos went bigly for Democrats. Gosh! That's such a surprise! Who could have imagined that trampling a particular demographic's rights might provoke them?? 🤨🤨🤨
I'll be interested in seeing the projections of Latino votes in Texas, Arizona, et cetera.
Black and Latino younger men deserted MAGA. They got lied to by Trump last year and found out. The truth is, the gop is scared shitless...
they should be
The first time Trump ran for president he did surprisingly well with Latinos (and also younger voters). I suppose it was because he was definitely "different" and they hoped he be better than most other candidates. But there was a significant shift in their perceptions this time around.
It seems to me that NT, like most social media, allows far too much hate, lies, and general ugliness, so I've dropped off (again 🥴).
I wanted to see if yesterday's carnage would / could have any impact on NT's MAGAs. Clearly not.
See you next month
What is up with allowing rank anti Muslim talk on a site that is so stridently against antisemitism?
Islamaphobia / antisemitism are the same crap.
Merely religous based fear, hate and prejudices.
Possibly its also the perception that he a political extremist. -
I heard many people says he's a danger because he's a "Socialist" (although many of these folks don't really know what Socialism is). I seen a few Republicans on TV news actually saying he's a Communist!
So it may be that some people don't like two things about him (even though they don't really know much about "Socialism" or Islam.
A friend of mine in Virginia mentioned that another Muslim was elected to office in this election. (In Virginia):
Zohran Mamdani wasn't the only Muslim and ethnic minority politician to win in Tuesday night’s multiple elections in the US. A host of other candidates claimed victory on 4 November.
Ghazala Hashmi , an educator and an academic administrator from Virginia, made history on Tuesday by becoming the first-ever Muslim and Indian American to be elected to statewide office in the US, after her victory in the race for Lieutenant-Governor.
I live in NY, the Bronx, and was subjected to months of unfair, untruthful and plainly anti Muslim negative advertising from Cuomo and his supporters. They thought it would succeed. NYC saw through it. The pro Israel contingent actually does much harm to all Jews and to Israel by indulging in Anti Muslim rhetoric and do not even realize it. They hurt the credibility of Jews. It is awful PR. That has certainly been the case here in NYC regarding the massively expensive negative ad campaign waged against Mamdani by Andrew Cuomo and the MAGA. They completely abandoned the truth and it blew back on them. They need to quit it. MAGA support ultimately harmed NY Jews this cycle. Even some liberal rabbis participated in character assassination as regards Zohran Mandani. More and more Jewish New Yorkers decry such Islamaphobia. They saw how ultimately it harmed NY Jews. And, it did not work. Voters saw all this and voted accordingly.
I don't see any guardrails whatsoever to protect against hate speech on NT.
Hate speech is just another form of free speech, apparently. No less worthy than the Sermon on the Mount. ☹️☹️☹️
I disagree-- in part.
It wasn't any islamophobia that got Mandani elected. Rather, it was simply that a lot of people liked what Mandami stood for.
To put it another way: even if Cuomo didn't run and even if there was no Islamophobia, Mandami would've won anyway..
One might even imagine that within a signifiant portion of American voters, "religion / national origin" is of little importance. Wouldn't that be great??
Of course, such a radical approach would only be welcomed on the left...
Is this a joke? Put aside the rather obvious fact that the left demands the government discriminate the basis of race, has adopted a civic religion that splits people into oppressor/oppressed group but to believe that would mean ignoring what's happened in politics your entire life. The Democrat party requires almost uniform block by blacks to remain competitive. When black people dissent from leftist orthodoxy, they are attacked with racist slurs. Forgot national politics, if you simply paid attention to this site when a black conservative is mentioned you'd know how ridiculous it is to claim the left isn't consumed by racial politics.
Wow. That's rich coming from people who literally HATE and OUTLAW: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! And then, try (their damnedest) to call it EQUALITY and REASONABLE in a COUNTRY FULL TO ITS 'NIPPLES IN'. . . wait for it. . . (another buzzword) "People of Color"—including Whites.
ming from people who literally HATE and OUTLAW: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Exactly, you favor race discrimination and try to hide it through distorted word games. a rose is rose is a rose by any other and what you call DEI is just old fashioned race discrimination by another name.
Yeah? Well that is 'simple' rhetoric. Where is your 'argument' against diversity, equity, and inclusion? And AFTER you present that argument. . . lead in to why MAGA supporters think it is OKAY to demonize and then AGGRESSIVELY ATTACK their fellow citizens whom are not in their grouping.
It's textbook racism to favor a person because of their race over another.
Okay. So list the textbook you got your definition information from already. Waiting. . . .
I will assume that FEELINGs is fueling this distrust of Others. Because, until something different-factual is shared I have no cause to suspect anything other than FEELINGS drives the rhetoric.
So nothing is 'breaking forth' from MAGA about DEI beyond negative rhetorical FEELINGS. . . .
Anyway, here is the DEI 'model' executive order from 1965:
Executive Order No. 11246
September 28, 1965, 30 F.R. 12319
E QUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

Sean, read the excerpt and the adjoining resource link. See if you can find something NEGATIVE in it.
At a macro level, the Ds should do quite well as long as Trump is in office. This is a good indication that the electorate might actually see that electing Trump was a terrible mistake and will act to mitigate that mistake as much as possible by electing Ds. The objective of course is to produce a legislative branch that will serve as a constitutional check on the executive branch.

I usually don't check political polls on a regular basis, And it seems they usually dont change significantly from day to day. But recently (the last week or two?) IIRC Trump's approval rating had kept going down...significantly.
In addition to his cruelty in various areas, quite recently it seems like his health, (including his mental capacity) has been getting much worse.
I suspect a factor is that many of the Trump supporters are starting to feel local pain (pocketbook) and (although they will never admit they were wrong) are not all that thrilled that he has no constitutional check on the weekly crap he does.
I am convinced trump could eat a live, human baby on live TV, and repubs will still vote for him.
Trump supporters do seem to make excuses for almost everything he does.
Yes, according to some around here half the Jews in NYC are actually antisemites who must support Hamas and hate Israel. It is maddening! "Perhaps oneday they will join us, and the world can live as one" - J Lennon
The mad king himself said, a decade ago, that he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone... and not lose a single supporter.
Probably the toxic masculinity of the man is 'folding' in on itself and has decided its host is 'ripe' for consumption.
I suspect it was the bro vote that put Trump over the top. The ones who typically wouldn’t spend the time to vote because they pay no attention to politics, and they’re too busy watching brainless reality tv and drinking copious amounts of shitty beer, somehow got it in their heads (TikTok, Rogan, etc.) that going to Trump rallies and showing up to vote for DJT would be just as cool. Now they’re seeing that what they did is having a very negative impact on their lives and the lives of people they actually care about.
The hangover is real and in search of a cure
Many are probably concerned about being written out of the will. I’m pretty sure I have a nephew in that group.
Are they still eating dogs and cats in Ohio? Just curious.
Trump's, (insert thing that will help America here), will be out in 2 weeks.
After this election NY Muslims and many others may rightly have a lower opinion of both Jews in general and specifically of the NYC Jewish community. Is it now reasonable for NY Muslims to fear NY Jews? Muslims in Israel certainly already fear Jewish politicians and the Israeli armed forces. The sad part hetecis, it was mostly not NY Jews we saw openly being Islamaphobic. It was the MAGAs. We saw how MAGA's Islamaphobia inflamed antisemitism. It works both ways. You see? Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are two sides of the same coin. Miror images. The wages of hate and prejudice.
In January it is 25 years since 9-11. Cuomo spreading Islamaphobia was ugly and New Yorkers rejected it and him. The Cuomo campaign did some real harm to Jews. He is not even Jewish. Why should he care if Jews suffer years of blowback because of him? His Islamaphobic campaign leaves lasting damage to everyone in NYC. We all trust each other less. The goodwill long earned by Jewish New Yorkers was squandered by Cuomo and his MAGA supporters. That is exactly what history will say when this mayoral race is recorded.
Real harm?
I wonder if most Jews are actually as fragile as you think?
A significant number of very prominent NY Jews and Jewish organizations endorsed Mamdani. The normal wall of solidarity against Muslim candidates fell apart. The Jewish community is very split over Mamdani and the tone of Cuomo's campaign. The amount of false misleading disinformation and fear mongering harnessed against Zohron backfired and actually helped him.
