New York Ciry Once the Center of the World, Now is in Decline: Why? Because the Progressive Democrats Brought New York City to Its Knees There was a time when New York City was the undisputed capital of the world, a beacon of financial might, artistic innovation, and American ambition. The city set the pace for global culture and commerce from Wall Street to Broadway. But today, that same city is wracked by rising crime, collapsing infrastructure, unaffordable housing, and civic dysfunction. What happened? The answer is painfully clear: decades of leadership by corrupt, socialist, and outright communist mayors, backed by a Democratic Party that long ago abandoned moderation in favor of ideological extremism. These so-called “progressive” leaders have driven out businesses with punitive taxes and crushing regulations, dismantled policing in the name of social justice, coddled criminals over victims while violence spirals out of control, and replaced merit-based governance with identity politics and performative radicalism.
Worse still, the Democratic establishment hasn’t just tolerated this decay; it’s actively promoted it, elevating candidates who are either deeply corrupt, like Andrew Cuomo, now seeking a comeback, or openly aligned with anti-capitalist, anti-American ideologies, like Zohran Mamdani, whose rhetoric mirrors that of revolutionary movements, not democratic institutions.
These aren’t fringe outliers. They’re the face of the party in New York.
The result? Businesses are fleeing, middle-class families are priced out or moving away, and the world that once looked to New York as a model of success now sees a warning sign. Progressive communist Democrats have turned the Empire City into a cautionary tale—and if voters don’t wake up soon, there may not be much left to save.
The Democratic primary for the Mayor of New York City takes place on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, with early voting from June 14 22, with the general election set for Tuesday, November 4, 2025. And the game is rigged with a ranked-choice voting scheme that will determine the Democrat nominee. The key issues are all ideologically driven, including public safety and policing, housing affordability, and Trump’s handling of international crises in Gaza and Iran. (Israel Palestine tensions, Iran Nothing about personal freedoms, lower taxes, fewer regulations, and a smaller governing bureaucracy. According to the polls, the front-runner is Andrew Cuomo… Sexual harassment: A 2021 independent inquiry by NY Attorney General Letitia James concluded Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women—ranging from unwanted touching and kissing to inappropriate comments—and retaliated against accusers, prompting widespread calls for resignation. COVID 19 nursing home cover up: Cuomo’s administration mandated COVID positive hospital discharges back into nursing homes and underreported related deaths by up to 50%—actions now under federal DOJ investigation, with critics citing a deliberate attempt to suppress data. Ethics and misuse of office: Allegations include using government staff to help with a lucrative book deal, running a patronage-style “Moreland Commission” shut down without proper oversight, and failing to fully deliver on campaign promises to reform Albany’s culture. Corruption scandals (“Buffalo Billion”): Several convictions in the Buffalo Billion economic development initiative involved top Cuomo aides, raising questions about cronyism and bid rigging under his watch.
These controversies contributed to his 2021 resignation and continue to overshadow his political resurgence, even as he leads in polls and draws fierce opposition. in a match-up with a stone-cold communist, Zohran Mamdani Sparked considerable backlash for his anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and pro-BDS positions, including defending the slogan “globalize the intifada,” praising a rap track that admired leaders of a Hamas-linked foundation, and making false claims that elected officials used taxpayer dollars for trips to Israel. He’s also Hinduophobic and anti-Modi rhetoric, having labeled PM Narendra Modi a “war criminal,” participated in protests in Times Square that used derogatory anti-Hindu language, and later refused to participate in interfaith outreach events, drawing criticism from Indo-American leaders. On domestic policy, Mamdani has backed reforms in child welfare that critics argue are dangerously permissive, like banning routine drug screenings for newborns and blocking anonymous reporting of suspected abuse, prompting warnings from child-safety advocates about putting vulnerable children at risk. He has limited governing experience and administrative effectiveness, pointing to his refusal to support key budget provisions and doubts about his ability to enact ambitious progressive policies in a complex city system. Most importantly, he is aligned with radical far-left groups, like the Democratic Socialists of America, and receives support from figures associated with radical protest movements. These controversies, spanning foreign policy, identity politics, governance records, and ideological extremism, have combined to raise serious concerns among a broad spectrum of New Yorkers about Mamdani’s fit for citywide leadership.
Authority comes from hate? I thought it came from truth. And authoritarianism from the enforcement of the "one" truth.
Isaiah Berlin's work emphasizes the importance of understanding that there are multiple, often conflicting, values that humans pursue, and that these values are not necessarily reducible to a single, overarching Good. This concept, known as value pluralism, suggests that while some values like freedom and security may be universally desired, they often require trade-offs and compromises to be realized. Berlin's ideas challenge the notion of a single, perfect ideal and highlight the inherent complexities of human choices and social arrangements.
The "one" Truth... the "one" Good. These are things upon which men will disagree based upon the personal "goods" that were granted them by inheritance from their Creators.
And believe you when I say that what's good for a high IQ university graduate is different from that of a good that a high school male or female blue-collar worker might benefit from. And the elite's luxury values are absolutely fatal to a poor man/ woman.
Read my comment again. It is clear it does NOT say authority comes from hate. It says that is what is om tRump. Hate, because that is what he does tRump us hate
And believe you me when I say that what's good for a high IQ university graduate is different from that of a good that a high school male or female blue-collar worker might benefit from. And the elite's luxury values are absolutely fatal to a poor man/woman.
Indeed. donald trump's luxury values are killing his own supporters. And will kill many more.
donald trump's billionaire values are as far away from the poor as could be possible. donald trump hates the poor passionately and wants to exterminate as many of them as possible*. The "big beautiful bill" will kick people off Medicaid and END the rural hospital system completely.
Democrats are NOT "carbon shunning". They support transitioning to green energy. While acknowledging that the need for oil will persist.
Democrats do NOT support "sex changing", they support people living their lives as they see fit and not imposing Straight White Male Supremacist values on them (like the republiturds).
*This is one of the reasons he likes Ayn Rand -- she had fantasies about exterminating the poor.
...that's why Democrats offer free sex-changes to prisoners and soldiers... cuz they want to "equalize" their luxury values. That's why they subsidize solar panels, to "equalize" their luxury values. Democrats are idiots. Shove your luxury values up your arses.
While gender-affirming surgery is legally required in US prisons when deemed medically necessary, it is not a widespread or easily accessible procedure. Prisoners seeking this care often face significant hurdles and lengthy legal battles.
google: ...inmates in state prisons are legally considered wards of the state during their confinement. This means the state assumes responsibility for their care and well-being while they are incarcerated.
If gender affirming care is medically necessary, then those responsible for them must provide it.
I'm not saying I agree, given that many US citizens not in prison are lacking health care, but that's the rational. Though it's not like this happens often, so WHY should this be such a big issue? It's ridiculous that you think this is some kind of bigly Democratic priority, when it's not. I wouldn't think about at all except for rightturds bringing it up.
I can't afford YOUR luxury values of giving tax cuts to the wealthy and polluting and making the planet less habitable for human life for the profit of the billionaires.
This is FAR more important to me than who gets gender affirming care. You can shove YOUR luxury values up YOUR ass.
It doesn't "excite" me AT ALL. It makes me angry that there are people in the United States that still do not have access to healthcare, while prisoners, who are supposed to be being punished, get very expensive surgeries at taxpayer expense.
This assertion is yet more proof that you are completely clueless when it comes to my real positions on the issues. You always go with your delusions instead. Even after I correct you.
WHO does Les hate? Some idiot that entered "Progressive hater"? What would be the point?
I hate that such morons exist. Aside from that, how do you HATE some anonymous commenter you've never met and know nothing about (aside from some idiotic comments)? That would be a waste of time and an exercise in futility.
As for donald trump, I absolutely do hate his guts intensely.
Those responsible for providing gender affirming care are those who establish their off-brand whackadoodle genders themselves. Affirmation simply ignores the real problem. That these people are nutz!
If you think that Les is a narcissist, shouldn't you be complementing him instead of telling him to "get over himself"? Given that narcissism is a quality you admire in others. Or do you only admire donald trump's raging narcissism?
I guess the same as you admire donald trump's sexism, racism, stupidity, constant lying, unparalleled corruption, poor business skills and dementia.
But then you accuse Joe Biden having some of these qualities and say it's bad that Joe Biden (according to you) exhibits them.
ok. Then 100 percent definitely yes. Since there is no way that is what was accomplished by king donald's moronic waste of money and setting back by a few months of Iran's nuclear program. It surely convinced them that they need some nukes as fast as possible.
Minus: The racists that you are anti to are 99.9999% imaginary.
If that was the case, Kamala Harris would currently be the president. And her victory would have been substantial. There is the evidence that your claim is false.
Minus: And the people that you support are 99.9999% neoracists.like yourself.
I already told you I categorically reject the imaginary racism you babble about constantly.
The people I support are 0% neoracist because "neoracism" is a White Supremacist delusion.
She "smarter" in her appeals to "justice".... and in her case THAT is SoJus, which is a SHAM justice much as a CLASS ACTION lawsuit is an unjust SHAM justice, as all the plaintiffs get an equal share despite suffering unequal damages. It's an "expedient" form of justice, NOT a fair one.
Your white guilt-pride results in your affection for "social justice". The fact that it's based upon the fallacy that you are responsible for past actions of your ancestors should make you reject the notion of "fairness" with respect to the concept of SoJus.

Hate is the religion of tRump, MAGA, and the trumpublican party.
Lying, Division, and hate for all that is good and decent is the living reality of rRump and the sycophants who support his ignorance and hate.
And Progressive HATER proves it in spades.
Sounded reasonable to me. Looks to me that it's a well-reasoned hate.
Of course it does. Hate and authoritarianism rises and thrives when TRUTH becomes the enemy. And that is on the FOTUS and MAGA.
Authority comes from hate? I thought it came from truth. And authoritarianism from the enforcement of the "one" truth.

Not if the goal was to head off WWIII, and not restart it.
I prefer the words completely disdain to hate when it comes to the FOTUS. Although not sure why as they are essentially synonymous.
I've never in my life experienced the extreme disdain for anyone that I experience even thinking about the FOTUS.
Those responsible for providing gender affirming care are those who establish their off-brand whackadoodle genders themselves. Affirmation simply ignores the real problem. That these people are nutz!
They have access to health care. They don't have access to insanity affirming care.
He doesn't h8 the Orange man too? Why is he here foaming at the mouth then?
Back on the euphemism treadmill, Les? Get over yourself. Your virtue isn't enhanced, not even by one iota.

Les demands empathy from everyone but himself. In that regards (narcissism), Trump, unlike Les, is not a hypocrite.
As a former follower of Ayn Rand, Les is also well aware of this. His Buddhist rants represent his "guilty" apology and repentance.
In other words, he's moved from authenticity to hypocrisy.
He underwent an Oedipal Categorical Inversion rather than a conceptual synthesis.
Meden agan!
At least Les still wrestles with angels like an Israelite. You don't. You're authentically convinced of you own self-righteousness.

Anti-racist/ Neoracist white guilt-pride.
