I was listening to a "conservative" podcaster earlier tonight who was suggesting that "NY Governor Hochul could impeach NYC Mayor Mamdani for breaking the law, which he did when he opened a socialist grocery store."

I don't know how true any of those statements are true, but let's assume they are and here's my hypothesis: If Hochul becomes "the governor who impeached the Socialist mayor, in defense of democracy," then that could help her re-election effort.

This wouldn't override Ron's suggestion that there really is a "DSA" chapter of Democrats trying to take over the party, but it could be a symptom of the "Soros Democrats" fighting back; throw a DSA Dem under the bus, and save her seat as the governor of NY? Hell yea, she'd do that, and George would support her all the way.

But too many people wouldn't see it that way.

1. The communists would be outraged - and they ARE a signiticant force in the Democrat party now due to the Soros Dems' policies.
2. The rest of us would see it as "The governor who is fighting the Socialists in her own party to decide to gets to be in charge." and you know that the Communists would elect another Mamdani right after that anyway.

In a normal town they wouldn't, but NYC residents wouldn't know a good leader if they seen one.

Yea, I don't expect a fair mayoral election to ever occur in NYC, but my point is that they can afford to do some shuffling if that's what it takes to keep Hochul as governor.

NYC's GOP candidate has Curtis Sliwa in 2021, 2025, and he said he will run again in 2029. IOW: The left has nothing to lose in NYC. It's Albany that they're worried about.

They are always worried because they never actually EARNED any of their wealth.
They got it through illegal means. So if they lose it, they can't just get more because they only know how to set up grifts. And if they aren't in public office, they can't even do that.

I don't think Hochul will, or any of the Democrat State congress or city counsel members would do it.

The Democrats walk lock step with each other.

Recall the Democratic Socialist of America... When they raised their ugly head the Democrats said they were a Big Tent Party instead of denouncing the movement.

NYC should suffer because they voted the commie in.

As for the rest of the State you can vote the idiot you currently have in office as Governor out this November.

Let them live with the results.

Impeachment leave it be... We had to put up with Joe Biden for 4 years I think y'all should do the same. There are only 2 more years left for Trump's term. Try to come up with policies that people care about and you'll be competitive in 2028.

You're right about that. It's an opportunity for Hochul, but she won't do it because it goes against their logic. Plus, NYC decides who's gonna be governor anyway, so she really isn't going anywhere.

Regarding the Democrat Socialists of America, I know what you mean. And they proved something recently when the house voted to denounce Socialism and the majority of the Democrats voted against it (and in favor of Socialism.)

I'm still not 100% convinced that the DSA are independent of the other Democrats, but I just when I was starting to believe it there was that house vote.

Exactly. They "make" their living off of exploiting the wealth of others.

If there's no one to exploit, they have no income.

Marx figured that out toward his end. The "Rise of the proletariat" never happened. Why? Because capitalism made the working class wealthy as well compared to what they used to be.

Look back at the 1950's. Look at the middle class. Mom who stays home. House. 2 cars. Vacations every year. Never having to worry about heat, water, food, etc.

Compared to the 1920's, these people were "rich".

Not so much anymore. Soros Dems are distancing themselves from the DSA candidates, but quietly.

Because they want (need?) the voters but the only socialism they want is the kind where THEY are in charge.

IHMO: If the vote was audited, I don't think he won. I think too many illegals voted, and too many fraudlent ballots were cast.

Capitalism has been good to us, and it's the only economic system that's
fair, but "it's so not fair" for elites who want more control. And they are enjoying the sh~t out of the sales pitches for socialism. "Free money for everyone!" and "Have what your neighbors have!"

And you make a good point: The people pushing for socialism are from wealth, but lack the ability to create wealth themselves.

They get a free ride through college. They never actually do any research into whether their degree can do anything. They graduate but can't find any company willing to pay 6 figures and a corner office for their useless degree.

Their parents are partly at fault, since they should have made their kids actually WORK at some point (although you can make an argument that multi-millionaires don't want their kids in a situation where they can be kidnapped). The education system is partly at fault, pushing the idea that you "need a degree". Colleges and Hollywood reinforce that idea through propaganda.

The result: a bunch of young adults who never had to deal with the real world, can't think for themselves, but have a very high opinion of themselves.

So life isn't "fair" because THEY are the ones who are supposed to be on the top - like Dad. So back to the idea of getting the gov't to FORCE that "fairness" on the world.

Republicans have their own problems with Libertarians claiming to be republicans. Rand Paul voting like a "normal" republican every once in a while to throw everyone off his sent.

I think things radically changed for the democratic party after Barry was elected, radically changed.

Joe Biden was only senile and for the most part they kept him in a dark room and out of the public eye where he couldn't do much dammage. Trump is not only senile but narcastic and the party not only throws him out front and center but refuses to rein in policy made in the throws of Insanity!

Though it is hillarious watching you all celbrate the needless renaming things on a map in senseless displays of performative nationalism taken directly out of the books of other collective societies, while calling anyone who doesn't agree with your narrow world view Communists.

The "war" with Iran was and continues to be pointless, was most likely Israel the tail wagging the dog. Has never had any solid goal, and no actual plan of acheiving anything. It has proven to be so disorganized it has made our strategy in Viet Nam look well executed. Once again we trapped ourselves into thinking that other coutries despise their governements so much, they will jump at the chance to overthrow the present regime doing the work for us. When most of the people on the ground there either still rememeber WHY the current regime is in place, (The British and US government overthrew a legally elected government and didn't like their politics putting in place a leader who ruled with an iron first and tortured and or murdered anyone who apposed it. (Mohammad Mosaddegh), or have grown up in the current regime and don't take kindly to another country trying to bring it down.

Impeachment or the 25th, this guy has to go! We may not have 2 years.

We have already spent 2 years waiting for soemone willing to take the higher ground in the Legislative branch, all we have had is crickets. The only branch that seems willing to do their job has been the Judicial and everytime a Federal judge from the lower courts or SCOTUS steps in, the right screams that they are the problem.

Let me be clear, I have said from the beginning of Trump's second term, I understand how we got here! Not only has this country been in a cycle (Probbably since Geroge W. Bush), of electing successors that are further left/right leaning then their predicossors. It is like a huge pendulum swinging, each swing destroying more and more of what the United States fundamentally is about. Further exacerbating this is that congress has ceded more and more authority to the Executive Branch, allowing the President to infact enact laws via Executive Order, removing the checks and balances 3 seperate branches of government was intended to achieve. In effect President Trump has been given the power to create national policy not simply execute what our elected representatives create and pass. This power needs to be placed back where it belongs

Wow! Look at all the revisionist history going on in a single post.

First.. The middle class of the 1950's was due to massive governmetn subsidised public works projects at the tail end of The Great Depression and WWII. Massive government public works projects like the Hoover Dam, Interstate Highway System, and males being able to get cheap university education thanks for the G.I. bill.

While "mothers" were able to stay at home, the vast majority of families did not have two cars (only 14% by 1959).

You are 0/3, do you want me to wade into the tighly controlled banking regulations at the time that blow your "unrestrained capitolism is good for America theory?"

Those large public works projects started under FDR (Democrat), carried forward by Truman (Democrat), and left in place by a moderate Republican Eisenhower.

Collectively it looks like the republicans have ~ 1 Billion dollars whereas the democrats look like they are ~ negative 200 million.

I saw a video yesterday where arrests were made in your state where illegals go arrested for voting in the 2024 election.

I think the fear of God should be in aliens to make sure they are not registered and that they do not vote.

There is nothing we can do about the dead people voting, other than cleaning up the registrations.

Someone should be asking the question how are dead people voting and whyu is it that thee people are always voting Democrat.

Yes, but our SoS (who facilitated it) still walks free.

I think the fear of God should be in aliens to make sure they are not registered and that they do not vote.

They don't "vote" anyway. They are on the rolls only to keep the number "correct". So if every precinct has a 150% voter turnout, that's good evidence of fraud. So they want the rolls bloated to keep that number at around 90% for when they bring in the pre-printed fake ballots.

There is nothing we can do about the dead people voting, other than cleaning up the registrations.

We did that here already. And our SoS put them all back. Gotta keep those rolls bloated or people will notice the fake ballots.

Someone should be asking the question how are dead people voting and

We already know why.

I'm still waiting for the people who created this to be punished.
