Split New York City Mayoral Race

On the continuing budget resolution the left is getting squirrelly. Outright crazy rhwetoric.

Can you point to some of this "crazy rhetoric"?

Weak ideological response? The right are bad guys, the left the good guys regardless?

Just listen to the daily new , without a preconceived bias either way.

The right knows it has the upper haqnd and makes a point of saying it is only a continuing resolution with no policy. Debate on specifics to follow.

The left is screaming over specifics. Falling into a trap, the right sounds calm, the left irrational.

This time the left is looking like the bad guy. The last election showed a shift to the right, even in blue states. The left is being outmaneuvered.

Just listen to the daily new , without a preconceived bias either way.

If you imagine that your daily news doesn't come with a preconcieved bias already built in, then you are a gullible fool and will be a useful idiot for whoever owns your preferred media outlets.

The simple choice of what to report and what not to report, made before your daily news is ever presented to you, ensures that it is impossible for you to listen "without a preconceived bias either way".

You are being manipulated. All of us are targets of that manipulation, but here you are, actively advocating for people to follow your lead of taking your brain out at the door, and blindly accepting the daily news at face value.

The regime thanks you for your service, but please be aware that neither pay nor medals will be supplied.

If the socialist gets elected and it goes badly like I think it will he will forever be linked as representative of the democrats.

Another nail in the coffin of the democrats.

Moderates like Biden and Clinton will be forgotten. Clinton supported a balanced budget and welfare reform. Biden said 'its ok to be rich, just pay your fair share'.

There was a saying, campaign ion the left or right rule from the center. Centrists on boot sides are gone.

As I see it the right is winning the national ideological battle. The left has no idea what to do.

Not that I agree with it, the right is working to a plan. Socialist ideology is not going to counter the right. Socialist ideology is not going to solve problems.

If they're electing an Eternal Representative of the Party, I'd still prefer a honest socialist to a disgraced crook. But that also seems like a batshit insane amount of cosmic weight to place on a mayoral race, even that of New York. I may think of Rudy Guliani or Ed Koch occasionally when I am thinking of New York, but they aren't synonymous with the city and all its people, and they certainly aren't Eternally Elect hypostases of the Republican or Democratic Party! If anything, we tend to remember mayors by a distorted and half-forgotten list of their personal failings or mistakes, not really because of their party affliation as such. The work of a mayor is more grounded and visible to their citizens, it's not like the abstracted, inherently mythologized work of the White House.

What part of the right is lying that you do not get? If it was a clean CR there would be no problem.

The right is under water on every major issue. Trump and the right are getting the most blame for the shutdown. You call that winning?

Makes me wonder where you get your news from.
