Mamdani's political gamble pays off as his endorsed candidates sweep their primaries

[SticknMove]

These 3 are pretty extreme. Chevalier once to abolish the police and prisons, all 3 want voting rights for illegals.

Wants to abolish police and prisons, that's just mental.

Any woman who really wants to abolish police and prisons is a full-fledged moron. Hopefully it was just an attention getter.

This is straight from the disciples of CRT like Angela Davis decades ago. Davis was mentored by Marcuse. Read up and do a deep dive on where this stuff is coming from. The long march through the institutions has come to fruition and their brainwashed ideologue foot soldiers are now in positions of power and influence.

Even a Criminal must surely understand that a World without Law would be complete chaos. I suppose that's alright for you if you plan on killing just about anybody you see, I personally do not want to do that, and I think most are with me on that. That's why we've built a society of laws and what not.

Now he's announcing NYC will not accept the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the deportation of Haitians and Syrians, though there's nothing confrontational in his immediate plans. He has though come to the attention of John Fetterman and James Carville, and not in a good way.

DSA is making gains in DC where they will likely win the mayoral election. Their candidate for mayor in LA is in a runoff with the incumbent. They've also made strong showings in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Louisville, and Seattle.

Marcuse and Angela Davis didn't get their way, why should the new crowd?

Another victory for the far left DSA as Ethiopian Melat Kiros shocks a 30 year incumbent https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/0 ... y-00983237 And she got 51 pct which means the result is sacred.

Remember last year when supposedly "sensible" libs were going to reject Mamdani's extremist policies ? Turns out a certain former Vice President and recent Presidential candidate is now cozying up to the future of the Democrat Party. All it took was 4 races and 4 wins.

[gilgamesh]

If Islam becomes the driving force of the Democratic party. Then there will be no Liberals left. It'll just be Conservative vs Conservative.

[Tony1244]

Boxing, wrestling, and politics all suck now. It's MAGA vs Hamas. I miss the conservative vs liberal battles. I miss boxers who box. And I miss wrestlers who wrestled.

Boxing is still good, though I agree I'd like to see the big names fight more

Well exactly. You would hope that common sense would prevail. The point is that ‘Academia’ has much to do. These ideas have been uncontested for far too long. Identity Politics has been part of the Modern Leftist movement under the misnomer of ‘progressivism’. Radical disciples of both Critical Theory and Post Modernism are now professors delivering doctrine rather than open debate. Hence the cancelling and de platforming of highly researched academics that provide balance and context.

It’s the man bun of political cliches: been out of fashion for years but slow-thinkers haven’t figured that out yet

Regarding the sentence I highlighted, you must be talking about Christianity and conformity. Stick hasn't figured out that the other side does it too.

Well as a lapsed Catholic for as long as I was pubescent and generally being irreligious I reject any ideology that requires conformist doctrine. Christianity in its many forms battled it out and the enlightenment led to largely secular mass. But the general principles, laws, morals are drawn from thousands of years old Judeo-Christian teachings.

I don’t know who the other side is supposed to be? Is it the vacuum left behind by reasonable accepted values drawn from a framework of religious values that became redundant and secular?

The man bun of Critical Theory and Post Modernism is to deconstruct and bring it all down…….just for the sake of it without any consideration of the consequences of these ideas and ideologies. It’s ok if you’re on a drug filled nihilistic love-in lost weekend indulging the Arts.

Can you name a single moral or ethical value that originated from, and is exclusive to, Judeo-Christian teachings?

Funny enough though originally the British people were massively against the introduction of a police force. The then prime minister Robert Peel had to pledge that the police wouldnt be there to police political opinion or thought, they wouldnt be there to protect solely the interests of the rich, in fact he stated that the police would only be recruited from the ranks of the ordinary working classes and they wouldnt be allowed to carry firearms [this was at a time when ordinary citizens were allowed to carry firearms in the UK].
Peel had to jump through hoops to get one introduced.
You'd think it would be the opposite wouldnt you but that wasnt the case.
The author William Golding wrote a famous book which basically won him the Nobel prize for Literature called Lord of the Flies about a group of shipwrecked Victorian-era English schoolboys who find themselves marooned without adult supervision on a desert island. The title Lord of the Flies is derived from an old English name for the devil and in the story the group descend into barbarism.
It was based on a true story. Golding changed one thing about the real life version though, he completely flipped events on their head. In the real life version the boys didnt descend into barbarism they acted impeccably, the boys rallied together and showed tremendous courage, ingenuity and indeed empathy to one another. Whilst Golding thought the original story interesting he thought it would make a much better novel if everything went to rat shit.
Ironically to this day the book is used as an example of what happens if humans are left to their own devices.
I suspect deep down, whilst we humans definitely have it in us to do bad things, i suspect we are probably not quite as bad or barbaric as we think or as we are led to believe.

Absolutely singularly apparent when the moral and ethical instinct knows not to want to fvck minors out of habit. What the fvck are you trying to talk about.

You talked about "morals are drawn from thousands of years old Judeo-Christian teachings". I simply asked you to name one. How hard is that to understand?

The Ten Commandments are more than one. It was a framework better than the final word from Islam. As loosely as religions gravitate toward and from those basic tenets we should know what is right and wrong. The rest is interpretation

The narcissistic tendencies of a 3 score and ten human being cares less about anyone outside the intellectual ideas they gain status from. I don’t trust them and will not entrust my descendants future to it. Wow that is intense from me as a shallow un intellectual lay person.

Among the commandments not related to loyalty to a deity, the strongest ones - prohibitions against murder, theft, and false witness all came from the Hammurabi. Very little in the Bible concerning morality is original to the Bible. It's all found in earlier writings. Also, most of us doesn't need the Bible (or any other scripture) to know that killing and stealing is wrong. It's innate in us.

I wonder how soon it'll be before NYC attempts it's first seizures of private property. Mamdani's chief proponent of that, Cea Weaver, has openly admitted that Rent Freezes, which they now have, will speed up the process. Hopefully when the time comes it goes to the Supreme Court.

HTF does he have Cea Weaver on his payroll? She’’s an absolute nut. NY has had rent controls, as you know, for years. The SC - whether conservative or liberal - would rule against seizures of privately owned apartment buildings based on rents
