There are a little more than 8.4 million residents of NYC. I don't know how many are eligible to vote but only around 1 million voted in their primary election.

After the Czar was overthrown the Bolsheviks were a minority party but they showed up for committee meetings and they got themselves appointed to important government offices. Eventually, they took over. NYC is living proof that a motivated minority can take power if they're the ones who show up and vote and the majority don't bother.

Apathy has a cost.

Democrats have lost their minds. It's as if they have hired Toonces the Cat to do their driving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fvsItXYgzk

Twenty four years, not 14, since that dreadful day, but it seems like yesterday. And no one seems to mind a replay of the disastrous DeBlasio mayoralty. We’d better hope Adam’s ekes out a victory (Sliwa is a sentimental favorite for many of us, but his day is over).

24 not 14. Of course! Brain fog. Other than that, ‘No excuse, Ma’am.’
