The excitement for the communist Muslim Mamdani comes from the downwardly mobile – those who want others to pay for their basic needs. Should the communist win, New York City (like other blue cities) will see the rich and middle-class leave. It’s been happening in the Big Apple for decades and will accelerate. In 1965, 128 Fortune 500 firms were headquartered in New York City. Today, it’s about 50 firms. Texas boasts 54 Fortune 500 companies and Florida has 22. There are many memes of Florida calling Mamdani ‘realtor of the year.’

New Yorkers should rally around Curtis Sliwa. After all, when you think of someone who repeatedly stands up for New York’s working and middle-class residents, Sliwa’s name is among the first that comes to mind. He founded the now international Guardian Angels to protect New Yorkers when no one else cared – sort of how things are today. Every borough’s Republican Party has endorsed Sliwa, along with the Rockland County GOP. Former Republican New York Governor George Pataki was one of Sliwa’s earliest endorsements.

Sliwa is projecting its strongest fundraising stretch so far, reporting more than $421,000 raised in the last filing period. Moreover, he is gaining endorsements from both sides of the aisle. For instance, Democrat Assembly Member Jamie Williams and Democrat Council Member Robert Holden have endorsed the Republican Sliwa. Holden touts the Guardian Angels founder’s “decades of public service and straight talk.” “He (Sliwa) built the Guardian Angels into a global public safety force,” Holden wrote. “He has walked the streets, ridden the subways, and stood with victims when no one else would. His campaign has grassroots support, a serious platform, and the toughness to govern.”

Why would anyone want former New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, famous for “murdering” elderly nursing home residents during the “scamdemic?” Speaking on The View on October 6, Andrew Cuomo focused on President Trump: "Mamdani is a gift for him (President Trump) — a gift. He wants Mamdani, for two reasons. One, going into the midterms, he will take a picture of Mamdani, run around the country and say, ‘Here is what happened to the Democrats. They are now communists, they hate the police, they legalize prostitution, legalize drugs, they want to elect this Democrat, no experience whatsoever — being mayor of New York would be his first real job."

At this point, the only debate is whether Mamdani is a socialist or a communist. Ayn Rand explained the difference: “There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”

Cuomo’s ballot position, at the bottom behind someone who didn’t campaign with no name recognition is going to hurt him. The choice is now between a communist who has a platform to the left of Karl Marx and a man who has spent his entire life trying to make New York City a place where people can safely live and work. New Yorkers should elect Curtis Sliwa.
