#9: Concur. And besides the Dems losing touch with the average hardworking American, they will need the 6,265,888 antiwar samaritans the Dems lost in 2024 that they had in 2020 if they want to win razor-close national elections in the future. This bloc will grow, and like myself, will not vote for an AIPAC-funded Dem or Rep. Our consciences will be clear: www.washingtonpost.com

lol.
Do members of the Turd Reich panic much?
I can't wait to see if he actually gets the job.
@#1 ... The party's progressive wing, meanwhile, has coalesced behind Mamdani, 33, a self-described democratic socialist. A relatively unknown state legislator when the contest began, Mamdani gained momentum by running a sharp campaign laser-focused on the city's high cost of living and secured endorsements from two of the country's foremost progressives, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders. ...
Zohran Mamdani's upset in NYC mayoral primary resonates in CT
ctmirror.org
... Inevitably, Gov. Ned Lamont was asked Wednesday about the stunning victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary by a 33-year-old socialist, Zohran Mamdani, over the 67-year-old former governor, Andrew Cuomo, whom Lamont had recently, if awkwardly, identified as his favorite.
"Mamdani ran a ---- of a race, didn't he?" Lamont said, as a Democratic Party in the throes of an identity crisis rushed to find larger meaning in the upset. "He surprised the ---- out of the establishment world down there. And I salute him for the job he was able to get done."
Elected Democrats in Connecticut, Lamont included, called Mamdani's victory significant for his youth and message, while most also cautioned against instantly proclaiming him as the answer to what went wrong in the 2024 presidential race.
The premise of generational change embodied by a candidate promising things largely anathema to Lamont " higher taxes on the rich, free buses, universal child care, a freeze on rents of rent-controlled apartments " comes during a particularly difficult week for a 71-year-old Connecticut governor whose brand is fiscal discipline and stability. ...
On Wednesday, Lamont praised Mamdani while noting that Democrats have hardly renounced centrists. He pointed to Virginia and New Jersey, where Democrats recently nominated moderate suburban women for governor.
But the governor readily conceded Mamdani's win demonstrated an appetite for change " and he claimed some common ground.
"There's a lot of frustration out there," Lamont said. "And some of what Mamdani was saying, we've already done. He's making a big down payment on universal pre-K. You know, we're doing that as well."
Lamont says the highlight of the recently concluded legislative session was the creation of an off-budget early childhood trust fund that will raise salaries for child care workers, increase access and provide free care for families earning no more than $100,000 and discounted care for others. ...
In summary, the past five years have seen a notable movement of wealthy individuals and financial firms from New York City to Florida, driven by factors like taxes, cost of living, and lifestyle preferences. [1, 2, 3]

#98: Why is Cuomo's skin made out of naugahyde leather?
Perhaps this is the Faustian aftereffect of a Catholic selling out his soul to AIPAC. Something similar to this: m.media-amazon.com
@#129 ... I'm enjoying the panic attack caused by a Democrat winning a primary who actually champions Democratic ideas. ...
Candidate Mamdani's views are not too dissimilar from NYC's fmr Mayor De Blasio's views.
Bill de Blasio
en.wikipedia.org
... De Blasio's policy initiatives included new de-escalation training for police officers, reduced prosecutions for cannabis possession, implementation of police body cameras, and ending the post-9/11 surveillance program of Muslim residents.
In his first term as mayor, he implemented a free universal pre-kindergarten program in the city. De Blasio called attention to what he calls stark economic inequality in New York City, which he described as a "tale of two cities" during his first campaign.
He supported socially liberal and progressive policies in regard to the city's economy, urban planning, public education, police relations, and privatization. ...
De Blasio was term-limited and ineligible to seek a third term in the 2021 New York City mayoral election. He was succeeded by Eric Adams on January 1, 2022. ...
So, I guess, Republicans might also want to ban radio stations from playing songs like this one? Which I heard on a college station, available to any person with a radio. I mean, if you want to restrict the books in a library, then also it may be necessary to restrict what you can hear over the radio (or, nowadays, streaming) ...
Two Nice Girls - I Spent My Last $10.00 (On Birth Control and Beer)
www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt (or should this also be banned?)
...
[Verse 1]
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman's love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man, it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke, I did not say "goddamn"
I was polite, I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tell of woe began
[Chorus]
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
[Verse 2]
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke, my god it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
But Lester came to work at Papa's store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a---------
I guess that I was curious, heck I guess that I was young
I guess it was that old rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
[Chorus]
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
[Verse 3]
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don't drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those old girlfriends and why they did not last
For there's certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I'd die
So listen to my tell of woe and hang your head and cry
