The Democratic debate is over. The left won

 If you're ignorant enough to believe Israel attacked Hamas, you can easily believe in Democrat socialism; Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Mayor Mamdani. And be taught to shake your fist in anger on command:

Byron York  THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATE IS OVER. THE LEFT WON. When a political party loses a big election, it usually goes into a period of introspection. What went wrong? How can it be fixed?

"When Democrats lost the 2024 election, some argued the party had gone too far left, that it needed to move toward the center. Others said no, the party had not gone far enough to the left, and that it needed to move past progressivism toward outright socialism.

"A debate ensued. Now, with Tuesday's elections in New York City, the argument is settled. The socialists won, and the Democratic Party is headed further left.

"Lots of press accounts are calling New York's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani a "kingmaker." They're right. Mamdani, who did not exactly win his own office in a landslide — he won last year with 50.8% of the vote — risked his political capital to support three far-left challengers to established Democrats. The challengers won.

"There was Darializa Avila Chevalier, a graduate student who believes in open borders, no prisons, and free everything (including her favorite, Free Palestine). Avila Chevalier took down five-term Democratic incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who wields quite a bit of power as chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

"There was Brad Lander, first an opponent and then a key ally of Mamdani, who took down two-term incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman. And then there was Claire Valdez, a state assemblywoman who won the nomination for a seat opened by the retirement of 17-term incumbent Rep. Nydia Velazquez. That race was remarkable because Velazquez was adamantly opposed to Mamdani's candidate and felt that Mamdani had betrayed her in the election — and she still lost." . . .  More...

"Yes, they are coming, whether the party wants them or not.  They are on a mission from God, or whatever they believe in. The first target will be Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania if he decides to run for president.  He is Jewish, and we know what just happened to Representative Goldman on Tuesday night." . . .

They saw what Hamas did to innocent Israelis that Oct 7th yet still champion their murderous cause! 

"I almost feel sorry for leftists. Almost. But I don’t. The reason is simple: so much of what they say and do runs counter to the core principles on which this country was founded.   

"Søren Kierkegaard observed that there are two ways to err: to believe what is not true, and to refuse to believe what is true. Leftists frequently demonstrate both." 

. . . "The kettle is simmering. The frog is growing restless. In much of Western Europe and the United Kingdom, citizens have watched their cultural foundations erode with little effective resistance. America still has time to choose a different path."

CHANGING HISTORY Islam’s accelerating takeover of Europe

Their numbers are growing, too. Indeed, they’re inclined to conflate anti-Muslim hatred with any sort of criticism of Islam or its followers. It licenses them to hate virtually everybody who doesn’t share their extreme views.

"If you wanted to launch a slimming campaign, aimed at encouraging people to lose weight, you might think you need an emblem of some sort, a figure that represents your weight-loss aims. Would you choose Father Christmas (Santa Claus, if you prefer), that jolly fat man in red who allegedly squeezes down chimneys to leave presents for children? Probably not: he’s not quite the image you’re likely to favour or to ask others to copy, surely. He’s the wrong shape. By that token, would you seek to encourage gender equality with a woman who chooses to wear a Muslim veil? Probably not, but it’s what has happened in Belgium. It may sound somewhat odd, but we’ll come back to that a little later in this article. The lady in question has not suggested that other Muslim women should cast off their veils, either, and nor has she suggested that Muslim men should start wearing them. Why ever not? Surely, she should have done one or the other? Parity, after all, must surely be the aim. There’s no doubt that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Europe. In fact, it has so many adherents that some people are predicting that in Belgium (and not only Belgium) it could, within a human lifespan, become Europe’s dominant faith. Those who don’t share it, and who remain resolutely Christian or Jewish (or determined Atheists), fear that they and their descendants could soon be a minority, mere outsiders in a Muslim entity." . . .  More...
