Any facts amounting to empirical real-world feedback are considered 'fascist', and either ignored or vilified. The only thing that matters is the left's utopian delusions, with which they self-identify. Real-world results don't matter, it's the thought that counts, don'cha know?

We are called to put an end to economic and social inequalities that threaten to unravel the city we love.” Soooo, he lied. Quel suprise! (The little French I know.)<br /><br />“Today,” he boomed, “we commit to a new progressive direction in New York. And that same progressive impulse has written our city’s history. It’s in our DNA.” As I keep saying, the word "progressive" always reminds mo of "cancer". Both will eat you up.<br /><br />I have to ask: WHY have NYCers put up with him?Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-11191287114537394182021-07-31T06:57:04.187-07:002021-07-31T06:57:04.187-07:00Not until the Democrats are defenestrated.

Tons of outside globalist money supported him (as also in the case of Ocasio-Cortez). From the AP: "Bill de Blasio was elected New York City’s first Democratic mayor in two decades Tuesday, running on an unabashedly liberal, tax-the-rich platform that contrasted sharply with billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s record during 12 years in office." He benefited from the results of his Republican predecessors, then proceeded to eat all the seed corn they had stored up. The stupid and indolent thought the good times would never end and believed it was time to start looting their way to personal prosperity. They thought (if their mentation can accurately be called, "thought") it was time to vote themselves into prosperity. As usual, however, it was those who held the reins of power who grew richer. Research how her husband's political power financially benefited Charlane McCray; a quick google search will open your eyes. Now the larder is bare. I mean no offense, but all of us out here in fly-over country have a hard time working up any sympathy for the limousine liberals who sat in their luxury high-rise apartments and watched it all take place during his first four years, then reelected him as a sign of their social virtue. Jefferson was correct; there is no actual virtue to be found in cities; it lies elsewhere. He wrote,"The mobs of great cities add just so much to support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body." Though Jefferson partied in Paris and had a hand in shaping Washington D.C., he thought cities were dens of corruption and inequity that would spoil the young American republic. He told James Madison, "I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get plied upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe." QEDIamDevohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428556757808878749noreply@blogger.com
