Then we have Katie Wilson (D), the communist, the gal that looks like a nun in street clothes, who never had a private sector job but got her first real position as mayor of Seattle. She's now concerned that maybe she went too far with her socialist policies, frightening away Starbucks to relocate in Nashville... Starbucks? Other companies flew to other red states where conducting business is still legal. Seattle now has a 40% commercial vacancy rate.
She was probably voted in by a bunch of young useful idiots who thought socialism would be good for Seattle. These are people who were never taught civics, economics, or how the world works.
Mamdani (D) is the antisemitic Muslim mayor of New York. Whoever thought that would happen? My goodness, there are almost 1.5 million Jews in New York City. What were they thinking, if at all?
New Yorkers have yet to see any free buses, lower rents, or cheap food stores. They are seeing boycotts, calls for divestment from Israel, an exodus of wealthy taxpayers, and, to say the least, a threat to confiscate apartment buildings from landlords who don't toe the socialist line.
New York's rent control has caused a reduction in affordable housing and a deterioration of living conditions. The Left, meanwhile, scratch their collective heads. Landlords struggle to maintain their properties, causing what they do own to become unsafe.
To complicate matters further, many of the same individuals who voice concerns about rents and living conditions are unaware that their desire for illegal aliens to remain in the country puts them in competition for the limited number of available apartments, healthcare, and classrooms.
