  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

US congressman Dan Goldman has been defeated in a New York primary election, capping a clean sweep for candidates backed by New York's democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Goldman was beaten by progressive challenger Brad Lander in New York's 10th congressional district in a contest that laid bare the party's divisions over the Israel-Gaza war.

Lander has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was backed by pro-Israel groups.

Two other candidates, both democratic socialists endorsed by Mamdani as he seeks to tilt the Democratic party to the left, won their primary races on Tuesday, in a boost for the party's left wing in America's largest city.

Assemblywoman Claire Valdez defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the 7th district.

Republicans swinging further to the right fringe is pushing Democrats further to the left fringe.

Republicans would.
Culturally, the left is winning no doubt.
Economically, the right has nothing but a complete strangle hold (As evidenced by the fact that Republicans ONLY refer to him as the "Socialist Mayor".

Yeah, they lied about Democrats being Socialists to get Republicans to move further right. Now that they've succeeded in moving the right over the edge, Democrat Socialists are finding success, as voters are rebelling against Trump. Democrats will find that they have to follow.
