NYC Primaries Today: Status Quo Dinosaurs Being Targeted

Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Democratic candidate for the 13th CD Avila Chevalier: "I think so many New Yorkers are tired of waking up every single morning and seeing their tax dollars going towards a live-streamed genocide instead of being reinvested in their communities."

In the 10th CD, popular NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D)-- a mensch as we say in NYC-- is challenging AIPAC darling Dan Goldman. Goldman, a fabulously wealthy brontosaurus with a net worth of $250m, did not endorse fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 NYC mayoral race.

Quipped the effective new Mayor of NYC Zohran Mamdani (D): "I'll say that in our election last time around, I was lucky. I didn't have to compete with the Knicks' first championship; I didn't have to compete with the first World Cup."

Status quo dinosaurs plaguing New York's politics

New Yorkers are sick and tired of foreign interference in US and local elections.

And AI companies flooded NYC with $20m to support their respective candidates.

Goddam carpetbaggers and PACs.

All three of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's (D) endorsements won their primaries today.

State Assemblymember Claire Valdez and former City Comptroller Brad Lander cruised to victories on Primary Day.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, eked out a tight win over incumbent Rep. Adriano "AIPAC" Espaillat, who Hakeem Jeffries endorsed.

Below, two good eggs who will work well together for NYC, a Muslim and a Jew.

Perhaps one day the popular Brad Lander will replace the unliked brontosaurus, Chuck Schumer.

Hard to believe Aber Kwas won her Democrat Primary, she believes 9-11 was America's fault because of its "system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia."

Do mainstream Democrats now believe this?

New York is clearly tired of their tax money going to fat old pedophiles 500k a year membership fees at the country club to go suck ---- at golf all weekend.

Good for them. Now hopefully other states will figure it out too. Only took about 25-30 years of blatant corruption not bad

*** Hakeem Jeffries Unsettled About Progressive Democrats Winning ***

The cadre of Democratic congressional candidates that won their primaries on Tuesday are against AIPAC and funding Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. "The Squad 2.0" also rightfully calls for abolishing ICE and DHS.

These two positions unsettle Hakeem Jeffries. He was not primaried this year, but probably will be challenged by a Zohran Mamdani-backed candidate in 2028.

You said it.

Graham Platner (D-ME) has a slight lead over Susan Collins (R-ME) in their US Senate race.

Ken 'Pedophile-Protector' Paxton (R-TX) has a slight lead over James Talarico (D-TX).

AIPAC, the GOP, and the status quo oligarchs are flooding Maine and Texas with ad money to defeat these two insurgencies.
