Early voting starts today for the November 2 New York City municipal elections.
The most important race in this election cycle is the Manhattan District Attorney’s race, because the winner in this most important of all our nation’s D.A. offices will determine, in the enormous coming travails, whether this once-great city will survive or perish.
One might think that the mayor’s office would be the key to Gotham’s survival, but I would argue that since the Manhattan District Attorney (not the mayor) is the chief law enforcement officer, then the crises we’ll likely face in the near future will be either exacerbated or ameliorated by policies the District Attorney imposes.
The Democratic ticket for mayor and Manhattan D.A. is fronted by Eric Adams and Alvin Bragg, respectively. Both men represent themselves as moderates so as not to alarm the already rattled voters, but both are effectively Marxist radicals. Adams has gotten a pass on his self misrepresentation by the corrupt media that has been all too eager to help him cover his tracks.
Adams’ history as a former police officer allows him to claim an ability to repair the disastrous criminal justice policies of the outgoing de Blasio Administration, but an examination of his actual record shows that as a founding member of “100 Black Men In Law Enforcement” his career was dedicated to criticizing the N.Y.P.D. for racism. After leaving the police force, he became a full-time politician and rose to Brooklyn borough president by adopting and promoting the entire litany of delusional leftist causes. His mayoralty would be a continuation of the insane de Blasio policies that most New Yorkers are sick and tired of enduring.
Bragg is another radical passing as a moderate with the protective cover of a sympathetic media. As an Assistant New York State Attorney General he’s proud of his quixotic waste of taxpayer dollars as one of the legion of legal bureaucrats fruitlessly investigating the imagined crimes of Donald Trump. More importantly, he is one of the many villains who defended last summer’s violent riots, murder, rape, looting, and arson.
Bragg is a “no bail” advocate (which means turning violent recidivist predators loose immediately after arresting them) and espouses the kind of “prison reform” that set over 70,000 hardened criminals free from this city’s jails last year to prey upon the hapless citizenry.
Most elections in a democratic republic are designed to install public servants who address the concerns of the legitimate voters. To the degree that we have free and fair elections, this year the voters’ prime demand would be public safety (and when I write “safety,” I don’t mean safety from the “unvaccinated”).
The Left’s increasing extremism across the board has led to such public dissatisfaction that Democrats actually might not win (assuming the aforementioned “free and fair elections”). My informed sources, including cognoscenti in both parties, point to a wealth of anecdotal evidence of voter discontent. Furthermore, in every mayoral election here in living memory, various big media outlets (both print and broadcast) have commissioned and released polling results, at least for the mayoral race. This year there’s been nothing of the sort. Savvy analysts have concluded that the polls look so bad for the Democratic slate that they have been quietly suppressed.
When we examine the D.A.’s race in this light, the Republican candidate, Thomas Kenniff, may not look like such a long shot after all.
