It’s a strange thing to watch a political party lose its mind. First, it flirts with radical ideas. Then, it lets those ideas take over the asylum. Before you know it, the party’s leaders are running around in a panic, horrified by the very monster they created.

This is what happens when common sense leaves the building. The party’s most extreme voices get the microphone and steer the ship straight for an iceberg. Suddenly, the same people who cheered on the mutiny are desperately looking for a lifeboat. They can see the disaster coming, but it’s too late.

A Party on the Edge

This exact meltdown is happening right now in New York City. The Democratic party there let a socialist win their mayoral primary. Now, its biggest names are terrified that Zohran Mamdani, a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, could actually become mayor. Their solution is a desperate scramble that proves just how bad they know he would be.

Disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, after losing to Mamdani, is now running as an independent. His big idea is a “unity pledge” to stop the socialist from winning. He is so worried about the city’s future that he’s begging his rivals to unite against their own party’s choice.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

Andrew Cuomo is expected to stay in the New York City mayoral race as an independent and will propose a pledge that could reshape the field. The former governor plans to ask all candidates—except Zohran Mamdani—to agree that whoever is not leading in polls by mid-September will drop out of the race. Cuomo says he would include himself in the agreement.

The proposal would avoid splitting the vote among Mamdani’s challengers and help the odds of defeating the Socialist candidate in the general election.

The Unholy Alliance

Cuomo isn’t alone in his panic. Current Mayor Eric Adams is also running as an independent. Polls show Mamdani leads with 35% of the vote, with Cuomo trailing at 30%. This isn’t just a bad dream for Democrats; it’s a real possibility. They are so afraid of their own primary winner that they are willing to tear their party apart to block him.

This is the chaos that comes from embracing radicalism. The establishment Democrats opened the door to socialism, and now they can’t control the results. They are in a circular firing squad, all to stop one of their own.

A Voice of Common Sense

Meanwhile, one candidate is staying out of the circus. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa sees the madness for what it is. He is the only one with a major party’s backing who isn’t running from his own shadow.

Sliwa put it best, saying Cuomo and Adams are just trying to “cling to relevance.” He added, “While they play musical chairs on a sinking ship, I’m out campaigning in NYC, listening, leading, and fighting to win it for the people.”

The Democrats are showing everyone what happens when their ideas are taken to their final, logical conclusion. New York City is a warning. The infighting and panic are not a sign of political chess; it’s a desperate cry for help from a party that has truly lost its way.

• Even top Democrats are panicking over their own socialist mayoral candidate.
• The chaos proves that socialist policies are a direct threat to American cities.
• Weak establishment leadership created this crisis by embracing radicalism.
