So, New York City is on the verge of electing an actual communist mayor of the city, and this requires us to ask a question. Just why? What is happening with the left that they've decided to opt for Bernie Sanders over anything like a mainstream Democratic Party? And of course, this has been coming for a long time. Bernie Sanders ran incredibly strong against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Bernie Sanders then ran incredibly strong against Joe Biden in 2020. And so there is something happening inside the Democratic Party and it's growing and it's growing and it's growing. That doesn't mean the Democratic Party is growing and growing.
In fact, the Democratic Party is shrinking even as this movement is growing. It's essentially a tumor destroying the health of the Democratic Party from the inside. But something is happening. And I think that Zoran Mamdani, this former no-name 33-year-old trust fund kid who has worked all of three combined years, I believe, in his entire adult life, and that includes him rapping, This person is now on the verge of becoming the mayor of the most important city in the West. And somehow that is happening because of all of this, because he's a trust fund kid, because he's a socialist, because he's an anti-Semite, because of all of those things, he's on the verge of becoming New York mayor. You know, I think reasonable people look at this person who is awful on pretty much every available issue.
And they say, well, he must be winning in spite of those things. What is he doing to win in spite of those things? I think that's missing the point. He's winning because of those things. Because there's an omnic cause on the left. The scavenger cause, I've termed it. This cause, which is to tear down all the systems, just everything. inchoate rage at the system channeled into socialist economics and Howard Zinn foreign policy and destructive hatred of traditional institutions. And that scavenger philosophy has gained an awful lot of credence on a dissatisfied left. a left that achieved many of its victories and now has plunged itself directly into nihilism. See, the problem with the left over the course of the last several decades has been that they caught the car.
In the 1960s, the left in the United States began to catch the car on everything from the sexual revolution to the overturning of the constitutional order. And in doing so, they then had to construct a system. And the problem is that when you construct a system and then the system fails and fails and fails again, and the backlash happens in the form of a Donald Trump, you start to lose your mind.
