Election 2025: The Morning After the Night Before!

Yawn. 

Another election is over and the results have been completely underwhelming.

When the smoke cleared. the battle lines remained pretty much the same as before. 

Democrats and Republicans kept pretty much what they already had and made no real inroads into the other's territory.

America is just as divided and polarized as it has been for years and that is really not going to change any time soon.

While this was an off-year election, featuring local, parochial issues, President Donald Trump endorsed several Republican candidates, especially in the Democrat-dominated states of Virginia and New Jersey.

They both lost, illustrating The Donald's impotence and lack of influence in purely local elections.

This was especially evident in the race for New York City mayor.

The Donald bluntly despised the candidacy of far-left leaning Democrat Zohran Mamdani, labeling him a Communist and an illegal alien, threatening to halt all federal aid to New York City if he were elected.

The threat didn't work and Mamdani was elected hands-down.

Even more ironic is that The Donald endorsed another Democrat for New York City mayor: Andrew Cuomo.

Andrew Cuomo, it will be recalled, was forced to resign as Governor of New York State as a result of unproven allegation of sexual harassment and abuse by several women in his proximity.

Maybe Andrew Cuomo and The Donald have something in common, after all!

Even more ironic is that The Donald did not endorse the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, a far-right Conservative with a penchant for wearing his red beret in public.

Even The Donald knew that no Republican will ever again win office in that festering nest of woke progressive liberalism, New York City, which is off the coast of the planet Earth.

At any rate, Mamdani won, having made promises that he will simply have no money to fulfill.

Closer to home, in the dying City of Rochester, New York, the result of the election was a foregone conclusion: the Democrats won every seat, from mayor to city council to the school board.

Rochester has been a one-party city for decades.

No Republican candidates ran, largely because the Monroe County GOP leadership abandoned the City of Rochester years ago, yet Democratic politicians in Rochester continually blame Republicans for its woeful condition.

That statement is more than a little dubious since the Democrats have been in control of Rochester for decades and also tell Rochesterians that things are getting better under their rule and prosperity is just around the corner.

It has been "just around the corner" for decades.

Incumbent mayor Mahweak Evans handily won re-election with 18 thousand odd votes. Registered Democrats in the City of Rochester amount to 85 thousand plus. Rochester's population is 211,000 with roughly 100,000 registered voters of all political parties.

You do the math about his "victory."

Precious few people came out to vote, even among the Democrats.

It is the grim realization that, unless there are two political parties actively fielding candidates for public office, it is rather foolish to rubber stamp the only party in Rochester if you don't agree with whom they puked up at you to vote for.

Mahweak's only opponent, Conservative businessman Louis C. Sabo, a complete unknown in Rochester politics, managed to get 2,700 votes.

I voted for him because I know Mahweak and nothing short of physical torture would ever make me vote for him.

As for the five City Council seats, four went to the incumbents. The fifth open seat was won by yet another woke progressive liberal.

I didn't vote for any of them.

I voted for the Conservative and Green Party candidates.

For the other three, I wrote-in Moe Howard, Curly Howard and Larry Fine, the original Three Stooges.

They would have done just as well as what we have there now.

Ditto for the School Board, which oversees the worst school district in New York State and one of the worst in the entire nation.

This has been going on for thirty years and having politicized the School Board's Commissioners there will be improvement in sight, since all of the local Democrats are pursuing a woke progressive agenda prescribed the Democratic National Committee, their constituents be damned.

On the other hand, their constituents voted for them, so they are getting exactly what they deserve, even if they bitch about it later...before re-electing the same politicians over and over again.

At least it is over again for another year.
