Socialist candidate, stuns longtime incumbent in Buffalo mayor’s race.

[holdover]

That's what Joe Crowley did and the result was AOC getting elected with like 8% of the Democrats voting for her.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, interesting.

 

[spat]

So she's a socialist that believes in capitalism?

All the ones in power do.

They are con artists. Con artists are capitalists.

Socialists always say that "the people" should control the capital. What they don't say is that they are the ones who decide what "the people" want to do with that capital.

They do really not believe in giving control of capital to the unwashed masses any more than the corporate raiders. They want control of it for themselves.

It's like everything else they do, they will take what sounds good on paper, and twist it by perverting the meaning of words into their opposite.

 

[holdover]

I beg to differ.

 

[BuffNiag]

Exactly! But my point is, Did he ever want to win to begin with? He served 4 terms, Hes getting older, and nobody is running against him. Hes a shoe in to win. IF he wanted to. Im saying he didn't want to because he sure didn't act like he wanted to .So he passes the torch to the new left and retires in peace. Now he has to run a half hearted write in campaign and move to Florida .


It should be easy to tell, first he will delay it as long as he can, then you wont see a major campaign effort across the internet , facebook, instagram social media, TV instructing everyone in how to do it . If I dont see a great effort I have to think it was done on purpose.

Yup. I'm sure there is some super cushy lobbyist job waiting for him. Maybe it's all part of the plan...

Agreed. Look at every socialist nation there are still rich and wealthy people. Those rich and wealthy just give more to the government and the government gives to its loyal subjects for their existence.

Or like Cuomo he’s not left enough. Many think Cuomo was ordered not to run again. Time will tell.
He’s a well spoken black man that dresses in suits and doesn’t represent the black people well enough would be my guess. It’s just one more step like going from democrat, to a democratic socialist, and now they are just saying hey I’m a socialist.
Whites controlled Democratic Party, then it was well spoken and well to-do blacks and now we will just see some ghetto people in charge. A lot is professing like this.

I don't really know anything about India Walton, but her logo looks like the bird to me.

It's not about who "owns" the capital, but who controls it.

Almost all real capital is owned by a corporation (governments are corporations). The question is who is in control of those corporations.

I think it should be the people who created the capital. The socialists think is should be them, despite their never having created anything useful in their lives.

Brown just made announcement that he will continue with write-in campaign.

 

[holdover]

That was the best speech he ever did. I hope he is serious .

 

[BuffNiag]

That was the best speech he ever did. I hope he is serious .

Most emotion I've ever seen from him. Interesting to see him denouncing socialism.

 

[holdover]

Thats some low hanging fruit right there. All he has to do is point out socialist city after city point out what will be taught to kids in the classroom , and wrap himself in the flag. I just hope he means what he says and runs hard.

 

[BuffNiag]

Brown still not giving it up. I do not want the socialist candidate win but I don’t think Brown should be able to change the rules during the game either.

Again, not a fan of Brown but a socialist mayor would be a death kneel for the city. I would say this is game over for her.

 

[BuffNiag]

Debate tonight at 7. Gloves will come off.

 

[SonOfSun]

for anyone that wants to see it...

 

[BuffNiag]

I’m voting for Jaz lol.

 

[SonOfSun]

I’m voting for Jaz lol.

While I can't tell you what to do, Brown or Walton are your real choices. Real in the sense that one of them is going to win. Yeah of all of them Jazz is the best IMO, but knowing the "real" choices I'd vote for Brown.

AOC coming to town for Walton. I would seriously rethink that endorsement.

 

[Saltwater60]

Nothing more recent, but I would think brown will win. That’s the way it’s looking to me.

You don't get it - she's proud of that endorsement....

 

[GOPerfect]

I really wish I lived in the city for this election.

I would so vote for India Walton.

I am telling all of my friends in the city to vote for her.

As the saying goes... be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.

 

[BuffNiag]

You don't get it - she's proud of that endorsement....

Which means she is completely out of touch with reality and will lose the election.
