What’s with these NY Mayors, thinking they should rule the world.

Commie Bastards!

Up to this point the Democrats have had a secret club handshake. They could talk middle-of-the-road but everybody on the inside understood they meant to be on the left of center. Now they must talk left-of-center too. That won’t play well with the middle-roaders who swing elections one way or the other. That is doubtless why Cuomo didn’t want to be on record with outright Marxist positions.

Why would anyone (including Democrats) want to have a convention in Brooklyn? (Except for dopey de Blasio of course.)

Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. Nice little old ladies see him driving by, and give him the finger.

From what I’ve heard, parts of Brooklyn have become gentrified. The young up and comers who can’t afford Manhattan’s rents have transformed neighborhoods.

“Everybody?”

I doubt that... how many are simply pissed he hasn’t gone far enough? He was just elected a few months ago... do we really think he wouldn’t win again up there?

I have a certain amount of sympathy with the "middle class is being destroyed" story - because it's true, and, if it continues unabated, the nation will lie in ruins.

Of course, the Marxist-Leninist analysis is false, and their program is ruinous - but the next big breakout national movement/candidate will address this issue in a big way. He/she will synthesize seeming opposites and form a new majority.

Palin/Warren 2016!

Communists should be rounded up and given luxury accommodations.

Everybody hates him. Some people think they can use him and some people get stuff from him, but everybody hates him.
Barney the purple dinosaur even hates him.....

They live in a bubble where their ideas are rarely challenged and they don’t see anything outside their narrow, shallow reality.

14 ... Then those idiots in the rotten apple shouldn't have elected him!

IIRC, ~27% of the registered voters in the combined 5 boroughs bothered to vote in that election.

Correct. And you darned well betcha that I wasn't one that voted for this abomination. He is some kind of Commie weirdo, a white man who would dearly love to crawl into a black man's skin so he could be black. He has a black ex-lesbian wife upon whom he pours endless praises. From what I've heard her say in the press, I cannot imagine the origin of his adoration. Her verbage is strictly Commie crap, not particularly intelligent, right along Commie party lines. For this, she gets an office in City Hall and a $170,000/year assistant, recruited off of Al Sharpton's staff.

He is seeking to create more racial, economic, and political divisiveness, right according to the Commie playbook. He has totally screwed the teachers over, and I await to see his attempt to do the same to the police and firemen, although THEIR union leaders have stones which the teachers union "leader" utterly lacks.

It is very telling that his first campaign was to retire the carriage horses, depriving their owners of a livelihood, condemning the horses he purports to care about to the slaughterhouse and, what a coincidence, opening up the extremely valuable property upon which the stables stand to his zillionaire real estate buddies.

Some "man of the people". Frickin' fraud is more like it.

That’s because people are a bit smarter than the media gives them credit for: everybody knows that Obama’s policies are partially responsible for that!~

There was a Republican running against Commissar de Blasio. If the New Yawkers cared anything about their city or the country they would have voted for the Republican.

Even if Gerald Ford wasn't the greatest (and he certainly wasn't), I had the sense to vote for him instead of Jimmuh Carter and it was my first presidential vote. The people in New York voted for someone even worse!
