    Do you stupid far right-wingnut knuckle-dragging fat fucks still want to say WaPo is "radical far left"? You are fucking idiots, but of course you always were.

    "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party"

    Opinion
    by the Editorial Board

    Zohran Mamdani, the charismatic 33-year-old who is now the front-runner to be
    the next mayor of New York, might seem like a breath of fresh air for a
    Democratic Party struggling to move past its aging establishment. In fact,
    New Yorkers should be worried that he would lead Gotham back to the bad old
    days of civic dysfunction, and Democrats should fear that he will discredit
    their next generation of party leaders, almost all of whom are better than
    this democratic socialist.

    Adept at social media and voter mobilization, Mamdani claimed the most first-
    pick votes in the New York Democratic mayoral primary as the leading
    alternative to Andrew M. Cuomo. The contest became a referendum on the
    disgraced ex-governor as he sought a comeback four years after resigning amid
    allegations of sexual harassment. Cuomo, a throwback to a bygone era of
    machine politics, should have stayed retired instead of clearing the field of
    potentially more appealing center-left candidates — and opening the way for
    Mamdani to nab disillusioned voters.

    Now, a man who believes that capitalism is “theft” is in line to lead the
    country’s biggest city and the world’s financial capital. His signature ideas
    are “city-owned grocery stores,” no bus fares, freezing rent on 1 million
    regulated apartments and increasing the minimum wage to $30. No doubt these
    might strike some voters as tempting ideas. But, as with so many proposals
    from America’s far left, the trade-offs would hurt the people they are
    supposed to help.

    A massive minimum wage would depress low-skilled employment. His rent freeze
    would reduce the housing supply and decrease its quality. Cutting bus fares
    would leave a transit funding hole that, unless somehow filled, would erode
    service. Meanwhile, the grocery business operates on thin margins, and his
    plan for city-run stores would likely lead to fewer options, poor service and
    shortages, as privately-run stores closed rather than try to compete with
    city-subsidized shops.

    That could have been written by Ronald Reagan or any Chamber of Commerce. That editorial is flatly saying "Capitalism good, socialism bad." That's what it's saying. But you stupid knuckle-dragging right-wingnut Nazi fat fucks insist on bleating that the WaPo is "radical far left."

    You are fucking idiots.
