There was a time when our nation’s great cities were beacons of hope, commerce, and American ingenuity. They were the engines of prosperity, attracting the best and brightest to build a better life. But that golden era is a distant memory. Our cities are now choking on the fumes of failed progressive ideology.
These once-great hubs have become laboratories for radical social experiments, where law and order are secondary to political agendas and economic sense is sacrificed at the altar of socialist fantasy. It’s a story we’ve seen before, isn’t it? For the hardworking families and entrepreneurs still left, a breaking point is fast approaching. A shocking new poll reveals just how close one iconic American city is to that precipice.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Hundreds of thousands of residents in New York City are saying they will leave the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race on Tuesday, and potentially millions more, according to a new poll. The shocking numbers come as the race between Zohran Mamdani, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa enters the final stretch.
Around 765,000 NYC residents would be prepared to leave the Big Apple… The poll found that 9 percent of New Yorkers would “definitely” leave the city. However, the poll also found that 25 percent would also “consider” packing their bags to head out, which would amount to 2.12 million.
This potential mass exodus is a direct response to the likely mayoral victory of Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist whose platform reads like a blueprint for urban collapse. When a quarter of a city’s population contemplates fleeing, it’s not a political disagreement. It’s a survival instinct.
The Economic Ticking Time Bomb
At the heart of Mamdani’s agenda is a full-frontal assault on the city’s economic engine. He champions calls to defund the police while vowing to impose punishing tax hikes on businesses and residents. His plan for a staggering $30 minimum wage—a number that seems pulled from a fantasy novel—would be a death blow to the small businesses that are the lifeblood of the five boroughs.
The JL Partners poll reveals the devastating consequences. A full 7% of New Yorkers earning over $250,000 a year say they will “definitely” leave. Think about that. This isn’t just a handful of millionaires; it’s a fatal blow to the city’s finances, given that the top one percent of earners pay for nearly half of the entire tax base. When you actively chase out the people who pay the bills, you are committing fiscal suicide.
An Invitation to Chaos
Beyond the economic ruin, residents are bracing for a collapse of civil order. When asked what a Mamdani-led New York would look like, poll respondents used words like “disaster,” “hell,” “chaos,” and “destroyed.” Let’s be clear. These aren’t the grumblings of the merely displeased. This is the primal fear of people who worry for their family’s safety.
This isn’t hyperbole. New Yorkers have seen how quickly their city can descend into madness without strong leadership and a respected police force. Mamdani’s promise to dismantle law enforcement is a direct invitation for crime to reclaim the streets. The potential flight of millions is a clear rejection of a future where criminals are emboldened and law-abiding citizens are left to fend for themselves.
The National Socialist Machine
Make no mistake: Zohran Mamdani isn’t some rogue agent. He’s the poster boy for the modern Democratic party, where the inmates are officially running the asylum. He has held massive rallies with socialist icons like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Even more telling, he has secured the endorsement of New York’s own Governor, Kathy Hochul, and received private praise from former President Barack Obama. This isn’t just a New York problem. Mamdani represents the national agenda of a party that has been completely captured by its most radical elements. The disaster they are engineering in New York is the future they envision for all of America.
The families and business owners looking to escape New York are not abandoning their city; their city is abandoning them. They are voting with their feet, making a rational choice in the face of irrational policies. They are sending a warning flare for the rest of the nation. Because when the chaos arrives in your town, where exactly will you run?
Key Takeaways
- A new poll finds 2.12 million New Yorkers may flee a socialist mayor.
- Mamdani’s radical tax-and-spend policies threaten to bankrupt the city.
- His “defund the police” agenda invites a return to city-wide chaos.
- The national Democratic establishment, including Obama, fully backs this agenda.
