Did you happen to catch the phenomenally self-important, yet equally vapid, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pontificating on the definitions and differences between socialism and capitalism? Completely clueless. So much for her political science degree. Boston University must be so proud. But what is truly disturbing, far beyond her inability to form coherent thoughts, is that in a head-to-head primary contest between her and incumbent Senator Chuck Schumer, she is currently ahead by 19 percentage points in the polling. This on the heels of a poll showing disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo leading Eric Adams in a race for mayor of New York City. What is wrong with New York? Can the radical democrats move any farther left and continue to alienate the rest of the country? Can New Yorkers disgrace themselves any more than they have in electing a cast of abrasive partisans that currently includes Hochul, Raskin, Nadler, AOC, Tish James, Alvin Bragg, and Schumer with a history of scandals perpetuated by Cuomo above, Elliot Spitzer, Sheldon Silver, Eric Schneiderman, and Andrew Weiner? And recall they elected the carpetbagger Hillary Clinton to the Senate, although she may have been more effective than her replacement, the largely invisible and completely unproductive Kirstin Gillibrand. The Democratic Party needs to do some soul-searching on a national level to recover from the rudderless state of anti-Trump vitriol they are currently using as a party platform. But there is no better place to start than New York.
