The City of Rochester, NY Democratic Primary! Surprise! There IS No surprise!

The Democrats had their primary election in the City of Rochester, New York today.

Only registered Democrats were allowed to vote in Rochester, since there were no contests with a multitude of Republicans vying for the same seats.

Since Rochester IS a one-party town, the results of the Democratic primary effectively predetermines the results of the general election in November.

But we must go through with that farce to preserve the illusion of democracy, and much about democratic politics in the United States is illusionary.

Or delusionary.

The Republicans have long since ceased to be an effective force for anything within Rochester, having abandoned it for the more lucrative, less crime-ridden but no less corrupt suburbs.

Just look at the Republican dominated Town of Greece, adjacent to Rochester on its northwest!

The population of Rochester NY is estimated at a little over 210,000 souls, counting the illegals that reside here.

Of that, some 85,000 are registered as Democrats.

The unofficial results of the Democratic primary had slightly more than 8,000 registered Democrats voting, less than 10% of their total number.

That means that 3.74% of the population has determined who will "govern" the dying City of Rochester!

Real democratic, huh?

The unofficial results of the contest for the mayoral throne are as follows: The incumbent, Mahweak Evans, with 4,220 votes; City Councilwoman Crazy Mary Lupien with 2,177 votes; and Shashi Sinha with 675 votes.

As Evans had won the endorsement of the City Democratic Committees, it was a sure bet that he would win the primary, regardless of his piss poor performances on the School Board, on City Council and finally as mayor.

As for Crazy Mary, her terminal case of liberal woke progressive assholism would appeal to mostly White effete intellectuals suffering from the same condition, but not for a poverty-stricken city where people of color are now the majority of the population.

However, Crazy Mary still retains her seat as a district member of City Council.

They don't come up for re-election for another two years.

She will undoubtedly run for re-election at that time.

As for Sashi Sinha? He is a businessman, Indian-born and a resident of the City of Rochester for 14 years.

While his campaign rhetoric made a lot of sense, he was an unknown, a newcomer to city politics with no real base of support. He overreached himself for his first time around this rodeo.

If I were a Democrat, I would have voted for him.

As for the at-large seats on City Council, 3 incumbents won re-election. 

The only new faces will be Chiara "Kee Kee" Smith and Lashunda C. Leslie Smith.

The incumbents Willie Lightfoot and Kim Smith chose not to run for re-election.

Regarding the candidates for Rochester School Board, it doesn't matter whether they are alive, brain-dead or even human, as they have long succeeded in making their goal of destroying public education in this city a reality. For the last thirty years, they have created a pool of uneducated, functionally illiterate youth suitable only for low-skilled, low wage labor employment to attract businesses to this area, which now has to compete with the illegals coming to reside here. 

While the results are still only unofficial at this writing, I don't expect any surprises when all is said and done.

The piss-poor turnout at the polls have been officially attributed to the terrible heat wave we have been experiencing the last few days, but the real reason is simply apathy among the voters, even among the Democrats.

Even they know that whichever Democrats are in charge of city government, nothing will really change for the better.

It is merely more of the same. Which is exactly what the few voters who came out in the heat want.

They don't want change, even if it might be for the better.

As for me, come November, if there are no Republican candidates who might choose to run for city offices that I like, I will write-in Letizia Astacio for mayor.

And Winken, Blinken and Nod, and Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern for City Council.

At least we will be spared those ridiculous examples of public relations in the form of the candidates' advertisements soliciting our votes, as humorous and gorge-rising they might have been.

UPDATE!

The current unofficial results of yesterday's Democratic primary had a little over 14,000 registered Democrats participating in the City of Rochester.

That's a little over 16% of registered Democrats in Rochester and 6.66% of Rochester's population.

The 6.66 number seems appropriate for our fair city.

The winning candidates haven't changed as of yet.

Nor will anything in the City of Rochester.

At least not for the better.
