Zohran Mamdani’s Upset Is a Seismic Moment for the Left (Philip Elliott/Time)
25th June 2025
Time, a Voice of the Crust.
And, as in any ‘seismic moment’, those inside need to get outside before things coming crashing down.
The world’s economic capital stands to have a democratic socialist at the helm.
There is nothing ‘democratic’ about socialism. Socialism is founded on theft. ‘Democratic socialism’ is an oxymoron, like ‘Pe0ple’s Republic’.
No. That is not some A.I. hallucination. That really happened Tuesday in New York City’s mayoral primary.
Democrats in New York are crazy. Crazy people are dangerous. Time to leave.
New York is still tallying the votes, for sure. But a 33-year-old state lawmaker who became an avatar for the political movement led by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading in the race for Mayor of New York City. The significance of an apparent Zohran Mamdani victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a seismic moment that signals how much of an insurgent posture Democrats are in at the moment. As party leaders fret about whether Kamala Harris lost for being seen as too “woke” on various issues, the coastal deep-blue enclaves are completely disconnected from that conversation, and the party’s dreadful standing on the national stage.
After the 1968 Presidential election, Playboy magazine ran an interview with an alleged mob hit man. During the course of the interview they asked him (‘Joey’) whom he had voted for in the Presidential contest. He responded, “I had a choice between a fool and a crook. Naturally I voted for the crook.” I suspect that the New York Democrats naturally voted for the fool.
