Disaster Masters

Goodbye, New York:

Mamdani's socialist victory is not a fluke; it is rather a telling sign of the policy direction that Democratic voters are willing to adopt, and how popular they are. It is no longer far-fetched; socialism has become politically viable in America. The legality of Mamdani’s proposals is almost beside the point. Pure democracy, even restrained by constitutional limits, risks turning popular support into a blunt instrument that will trample property rights and economic freedom. This is a massive victory for a candidate who started this race unknown, with 1 percent support, and who beat Andrew Cuomo in the first round of voting by 7 points. Zohran Mamdani's victory has sent a dangerous message to other socialists across the country that their ideas are overwhelmingly popular and have been tested in an election. A socialist America is becoming more possible by the minute.

Unless it's nipped in the bud before it starts...
