If you think they will stop at NYC, you need to wake up.
The difference between you and me is I don't see this as Muslim, Soros, or somehow globalist takeover. I think this is just lefty populism going to extremes, but maybe I'm wrong. My Jewish bud at work is terrified the Muslim doctor guy is going to win the Senate race here. I think these people can win in pockets, but not nationally.

There is no evidence that we are trending towards socialism on a national level

Just look at the policy planks of the Burtons in SF.
Pro Labor, wanted to expand the "social safety net", focused on housing affordability, wanted to tax the rich and corporations, and promoted civil rights and equity. Sound familiar?
Exactly. Now look at where they are. "Where they are" can certainly be debated, but I don't think it's a stretch to say they are outliers from average American society and ways of thinking.
Now you're saying it's okay to let them do it again and to move even further away from American values?
I'm sure they'll eventually vote themselves out of whatever jam they may put themselves in... I mean, after they fail. Right?

lmao.
The evidence is there for those who care to see it.

We go from banning Bibles in schools to allowing Muslims to take over New York City streets for prayer. I'd rather be emotional than a "head up my arse" idiot.

Pressler's successful removal of Cornyn hasnt even done it. So youre right. Time to get dirty and ugly.

This seems a bit like saying something is "racist" and that being the end of that.

No. You're either being obtuse or just want to argue.
Forget anything I've said in this thread, and instead let's try something different. Let's assume I'm overreacting and sky screaming.
Tell me just one or two good things that can come from electing several admitted socialists/communists to one locality such as NYC. Tell me how anything at all might end up improved for those people and what things might be improved. And how will those things be better for them or for the rest of us. Then, tell me the odds of these great things coming to fruition, in your opinion. I'm all ears. Calm me down.

Reminding people why it will always fail, after it fails again.

Does the stock market go up every single day? Of course not, but it always keeps going up, even after corrections. It's the same with socialism right now.

Silliness to assume people will become dependent on free childcare, free healthcare, govt grocery stores, cheap or free rent, etc? Now that I think about it, you're right. No way people can become dependent on that kinda thing.

Nobody will do anything until we have nothing to lose any longer that is the problem. Working/tax paying America loving people have to much to lose to fight a system that is stacked against them so they do nothing. Especailly when you see what they did to Jan 6 citizens.
Once they lose everything and have nothing to lose they will fight back but will it be too late by then?

Every two years having a higher number of admitted socialists and people born on foreign soil elected to offices all around the country and in DC don't represent a negative trend to you? If not, then what would be a legit trend, in your opinion?

That's the best you can hope for. But I have my doubts that that's how it will play out. They will be bailed out long enough to give an entire generation a taste of how "good" those people used to have or had it. It doesn't matter if it was actually good or not. There will always be enough idiots and news media to claim it was good. Or to claim how much better it could have been, or that it wasn't done correctly.
Why not just stomp the shite out now? I mean, we seem to be on the same page for the first time ever, from the viewpoint that socialism will fail. But in this country, a failed govt policy sure as hell does not mean that policy goes away. Sometimes they even keep growing. If you believe (as I do) that nothing good can come from it, why be contrarian and make arguments?
