Why Zohran Mamdani won and New York will pay a terrible price

The great experiment.

Probably at the expense of many New Yorkers.

Here's what Johnson has to say about it:

But what Mamdani is advocating is not democratic socialism like in the Scandinavian countries. He's calling for the city to
abolish the police department,

Oh please. What a disastrously foolish lie to believe. Whoever told you that is 100% a liar...IF that EXACT phrase was uttered "abolish the police department".

Seriously. Why do you people believe candidates who say things like that?

“I am not defunding the police; I am not running to defund the police,” Mamdani told reporters Wednesday. “Over the course of this race, I’ve been very clear about my view of public safety and the critical role that the police have in creating that public safety.”

Read his words instead of the words of people who HATE him.

to take over the grocery stores and to tax white neighborhoods higher than minority
neighborhoods.

You seem to have confused "race" with "income level". Don't worry, it can be complicated when you are used to thinking of coloured people as poor and white people as rich.

This is not an egalitarian society as they have in the Scandinavian countries.

And any attempt by the government to help poor people should be met with scorn?

Do you want to be like Scandavia where the governments take about 70% of your income?

I'd rather live in a happy place like ANY Scandanavian country than the bleak hellscape of the American disposition.

You seem to think that "not being taxed" (notice: I'm not saying MONEY) is not as important as being happy.

I'm very very happy in the USA and don't want to live anywhere else. If others don't like being an American and living in the USA, then what is stopping them from moving to those Scandavian nations?

It's not "happy you are in the US" it's "Are you happy?"


Youre culture is making SAD people. IT has nothing to do with appreciating where you live. IT has to do with your ecosystem your "fish tank".

My culture is not making sad people. If Americans are sad, then I suggest that they turn to my Lord and Savior. Only the Lord Jesus Christ is the One who can give everlasting joy and happiness and peace.

Sorry. I can't hear you all the way down there at 23rd place United States. You may need to explain yourself a bit more....

LOL! Do you know how far from Christian Scandanavian countries are?

Listen I absolutely have joy and peace in my faith. I'm blessed with happiness too. But Americans are sad because their CULTURE is makes them sad. American Christians can ONLY get happiness in their faith (though I think a lot also have a false sense of superiority that gives them a lot of job too...as with some on the left as well).

The PROFOUND hyper individuality and the severe discoupling of connection and communities. The distrust sown through the media...left and right... The politicians and talking heads that ACTIVELY BENEFIT.

Watched an interesting short videos on how oligarchies need to sow chaos to ensure their survival. I don't know (or really care) enough to know if that is an actual feature of oligarchies but I'm pretty sure that how the US functions and there are a LOT of people stirring up chaos if you ask me (and others).
