I swear if the feds give that state a single penny because of all the virus stuff, I'll be out in the street with the protestors.

Lol that y’all actually believe “moderate” Democrats still exists. They’ve all been pushed left because that’s where the party moved. The people of New York electing these neomarxists only serves as confirmation that move left was the right move.
After all, look at the “moderate” democrats who were ousted last night.

Comparing her to DJT is laughable.
She has the deadly combination of arrogance mixed in with a whole lot of ignorance.
She wouldn’t be where she is without crossing Soros’s radar and being hand picked. She’s there because she’s progressive, female, brash, opinionated, and “hispanic.” She meets two of the victim class qualifications which gives her “credibility” amongst the left.
If “she” were a “he“ she would still be working the late shift at the local pub.

Who cares about NYC? It's an overpriced shite hole full of idiots.

Crime is already rising and with these new turds in office and DiBlasio seemingly attempting to destroy the city, it's only a matter of time before it is back to 70s era shite hole.

These are 3 of the most liberal districts in the state of NY, most people saw this coming. Hell Clinton got 94% of the vote in district 15.

Step away from the edge. It's N.Y. the seat of liberalism on the east coast. Trump is never going to win the Northeast or the West Coast regardless. Honestly it might help with centrists who might be undecided but are seeing an ultra left wing shift in the Democrat Party with Sleepy Joe Biden as their head of state.

Ummmm...no. 

Certain parts of the country appear to be, but these extreme candidates could actually result in the GOP picking up some seats


I know this might sound strange, but seeing these Far Left fringe candidates win Democrat primaries last night makes me think of Bill Maher. To me, Maher has been the poster boy of the coastal elites who love to mock and ridicule what they dismissively refer to as "flyover country," especially the so-called backwards-arse South.

But the thing is, phony elitists like Maher are much more comfortable with Establishment Democrats like Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc. This new wave of extreme left-wing (MARXIST) candidates don't give a damn about the Establishment types, though. If AOC gets a lot of her candidates elected, there's NO WAY that old guard matron Nancy Pelosi remains SOTH even if the Dems maintain control of the House.

Conservatives like me surely don't give a damn about the AOC types who are taking over the Democrat Party, but it's the Establishment Dems like Schumer and Pelosi who have the most to fear (and lose).

Hey Bill, how's that new ANTI-ISRAEL and ANTI-JEWISH Democrat Party working out for you? Are you still laughing at us rubes in flyover country who are at least smart enough to reject this anti-American Marxist crap?

I’ve actually heard Bill say he prefers going to flyover country saying the fans are much nicer, more respectful, open minded, and less annoying. Like in these woke places, whenever he says something not Leftist on stage he gets either booed or cringed, while in the middle of the country they seem to laugh at anything funny. I think I remember saying one of his favorite places to perform is shockingly Birmingham. Yeah, he’s guilty of everything else you’re accusing him of being, but I think he sees people who live in Los Angeles being every bit as stupid as people who live in Oklahoma.

Well, again, people in fly over country don't view fellow Americans as an enemy first.

The "establishment Democrats" have moved so much farther to the Left over the last 20-30 years, they would are unrecognizable as being the same party as even Tip O'Neil.

This may end up being a long-term good thing though. As the wackier and wackier on the Left take control, they push out even the moderates (because the farther out on the fringe you go, the fewer shades of grey are allowed until you get to the point where the can be only black and white). This rush to the fringe will either leave the party a vast wasteland or will create enough of their involvement in politics to finally break the nation to the point where we splinter into completely different countries, each having their own laws governing what is and isn't acceptable.

I think this has always been a probability due to the GAT (Group a-hole Theory, my theory that the larger a group gets the more likely there is to be an a-hole (or assholes) who sees things so differently that they screw things up for everyone else). At 300+M people with little homogeny, it is all but inevitable.

And they're all racing to the left currently terrified of getting primaried by the next AOC. Just look at how far left Schumer has moved in the last year, terrified of AOC primarying his arse in 2022.

Agree with the sentiment. I'll take the hard-won, hard-earned wisdom that comes with making a living in flyover country over the bi-coastal intellectual conformists and contortionists any day of the week.

Progressive must mean uneducated, immature, and willfully ignorant. Which perfectly describes AOC.
