Anyone who was even slightly paying attention and isn't a leftist with his head in the sand, knew this clown was a full fledged communist. It's been obvious as hell. Anyone who voted for this dickhead is an absolute moron.
But the bigger picture issue is, why is this guy tolerated in the Democrat party?
It would be one thing if he was just some random asshole. But to run for mayor of NYC he had to have had major financial backing from the party.
I don't know that it came from the party itself, but he definitely has backing from wealthy leftists.
I think the party more jumps on board with anyone who can win rather than creating everyone from the ground level.
As for why he's tolerated, he is the new Dem party. Look at Bernie, at Kamala, at AOC, at Crockett, at many Biden appointees, etc.
