In both the JC and NYC mayoral elections, disgraced former governors were or are trying to come back as mayors. It failed in NYC, and there's a great chance it will also fail in JC, because people are waking up to the idea that more socialism means more affordability.

Historical truth: the national Democrats have never adopted the benefits the far left could give them at the ballot box, while the Republicans have embraced the electoral benefits of recruiting Nazis and other worldwide villains.

John Catsimatidis is obviously scared that some forced to shop at his stores will go to a city-sponsored alternative. Well, he could lower his prices to compete. Isn't that capitalism, which he no doubt loves?

It's great that Trump motivates Democrats, but why can't the Democratic nominee inspire voters? Answer: Too many antifascist voters are looking for their perfect candidate. In a party as big as the Dems, interests must compromise to defeat fascism. It happens in Europe nearly every election.

@arimelber.bsky.social, While many consider @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's positions "controversial," that group isn't predominant among younger voters, who have recognized early on that Palestinians need to be treated fairly, and that NYC is unaffordable for the majority.

More than 47 million Americans β€” including one in five children β€” don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

It could be so bad that MAGA will stop voting for Trump once it comes out -- it's the only logical conclusion based upon how things are going.

As I told Slate, Democrats need to listen to their communities, not big money interests.Β They need to prioritize our wallets first, solve problems, and be loud.

St. Louis, I’m running for Congress because the work is not finished. I’m ready to fight.

I think Graham Platner should've had his tattoo removed before running for statewide office. At best, his neglect to do so indicates he's not a good politician. His targeted voter is not the same as that of Pete Hegseth.
