Thanks Democratic Socialists who win’ t change the bail laws and start making criminals pay for their crimes witH jail time, NOT WALK FREE. Hochul will not even call Albany Legislature for Emergency Session with NYC in crisis to change bail laws. She is another Democratic Socialist

I have made my decision. I am leaving NYC, the place that I love and have called home for 25 years. That fist fight with the cop the other day in the subway and the local politicians that are acting like Californian ultra screaming liberals have sealed the deal. It is flat out dangerous and it is because of our elected leaders. New Yorkers can put up with a lot but not this self inflicted damage. Tragic. Andrew Yang and this new political party will grow. Republicans and Democrats are a disaster.
