Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce one. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post today. The topic is the commie takeover of the Democrat Party and the easy way to defeat it. Once we're all done setting our hair on fire and wringing our hands about the latest crop of anti American Jew hating communist revolutionaries who've just grabbed political power. Liberal let's look at the upside. Hardly anybody voted for them and they give Republicans a golden opportunity if the party can get its act together and if conservatives and sensible centrists can be persuaded to get off their couches and actually vote. No more Sitting on the fence in the bid to save New York and the nation Apathy is as much the enemy as the DSA for Democrats and Republicans alike. This is the chance for New Yorkers to get behind the underestimated gem running for governor Bruce Blakeman. He is the antidote to the anti American poison emanating from Albany and City Hall. But first to apathy. The three Democratic Socialists of America candidates endorsed by Mayor Zoran Mamdani received a grand total of 125,000 votes between them, representing just 3% of all registered Democrats in New York City. Darieliza Avila Chevalier, NY 13, a community organiser born in the Dominican Republic who wipes her ass with the American flag, will ride into Washington D.C. with fewer than 33,000 votes, representing less than 9% of eligible registered Democrats in that district that would barely fill Yankee Stadium. Only 18% of Democrats in New York 13 even bothered to turn out to vote in the primaries on Tuesday. It's the same for Texas native Claire Valdez, NY 7, a union organiser who wants to grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens. She netted a measly 36,961 votes, all or 10% of eligible Democrat votes. Brad Lander, a longtime DSA member who nominally quit the faction but for all intents and purposes is dsa. The Missouri born former NYC Comptroller Progressive Mamdani, enabler and self loathing as a Jew, did the best of the three, but he still only eked out a paltry 55,000 votes to knock off Rep. Dan Goldman in the high profile Manhattan and Brooklyn race. That's less than 16% of eligible registered Democrats. The rest just stayed home. The DSA victory is a triumph of community organising, not of grassroots populism. These people aren't even from the communities they organise. They're not Even from New York. Two of them, including Chevalier and Uganda born elitist Mamdani, weren't even born in this country. No, this isn't about authenticity or conviction or a movement. It was a sheer backroom numbers game in which the insurgent fringe easily toppled a complacent Democrat establishment that believed it had successfully gerrymandered and rigged its way to permanent rule and took New York for granted. The Commies got a handful of votes in a city of eight and a half million. They are going to Washington as New York representatives, but they are as representative of New York as a pebble is of an avalanche. Their momentum is driven in large part by delusion and hopium, burnished brightly by the sorts of Ivy League millennials who populate elite newsrooms. Take the New York Times breathless description of Mamdani hopscotching among victory parties on Tuesday night, wearing a smile of disbelief, as if he was taken unawares by the manipulation of low voter turnout. His aura of invincibility, buoyed by recent weeks of nix related elation, transferred to the candidates he endorsed, helping catapult them to victory. The primary underscored the movement's force, but also that of the man. This movement's leader has a pretty obvious and singular charisma. End quote. Primary night festivities were a celebration of how the mayor's popularity has rippled outward, but also a reminder of just how much the mayor himself commands a room. When he walked into Ms. Valdez's party, some of his supporters looked so overcome they could barely speak. End quote. Oh, please, keep your hat on. America doesn't want the crazy policies Zoran and the commies are championing. Open borders, Medicare for all, abolish ice, defund the police, abolish prisons, transgender surgery for all, dei, racial apartheid, crime and disorder. Pond scum in the reflecting pool. Americans are not into tearing down everything that made America great and ultimately destroying Western civilisation. Even those of us who were not fans of Goldman. The Levi Strauss heir and once shining star of the Democrats who has just been turfed out of Congress by Lander, will defend him against the vile bigotry of Poetica Coffee, the filthy coffee shop in Brooklyn which keeps being cited for hygiene issues. Banned Gold Goldman, after he bought a cup of coffee there because he is deemed to be a supporter of Israel. Good for him. He never seemed comfortable in the role of a wannabe shifty shif trying to defend Biden family lies and committee hearings. But Goldman sold his soul to the Democrat Party and its leaders used him up, spat him out and stomped on his political grave because they were too lazy or gutless to fight against the DSA parasite colonising them. But low voter turnout is the tool the DSA uses to grab power, and it can just as easily be turned against them. Their victory is as fragile as a puff of smoke, but only as long as the silent majority wakes up and takes the reins from the fringe riders. For starters, in New York, every conservative, moderate and vaguely rational person needs to register strategically as a Democrat so they can vote for the non commie candidates in Democrats primaries. The primaries are the election in deep blue districts, of course that requires you to get off your backside and vote. You can vote for whoever you like in the general election, then vote for Blakeman as governor. He is a competent moderate who has transformed Nassau county into the best run and safest region of the state, governing for four years without a tax hike killing a $150 million tax hike that his predecessor, Democrat Laura Warren, had planned before leaving office. He doesn't waste time on ideological pursuits. His mission is all about making New Yorkers happy again with affordable, safe, family friendly policies. Blakeman is New York's best chance to clip the wings of Mamdani and his anti American goons. Make Kathy Hochul pay for aiding and abetting the communist revolutionaries who have invaded her party. She endorsed Mamdani. She owns this result. She and the rest of her spineless fellow establishment Democrats allowed their party to be taken over by the Algae Democrats, vandals who seek to spread out and destroy anything that is good and beautiful in this country. Like the lunatics trying to destroy the reflecting pool in Washington D.C. by feeding the algae and ripping off the lining. Just spite Donald Trump. They have handed a gift to Republicans. It's time to use it. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with another mini episode on Monday. Hope you can tune in and enjoy the rest of your week.
Host: Miranda Devine (New York Post)
Date: June 26, 2026
Theme: An analysis of the recent electoral victories of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates in New York, the implications for politics in the state, and strategies for countering their influence.
In this mini episode, Miranda Devine critiques the rise of DSA-endorsed candidates in New York Democratic primaries, characterizing it as a “communist takeover” powered by both apathy and low voter turnout. She details how a small, highly-organized group managed to gain disproportionate political clout and outlines why this presents both a warning and an opportunity for conservatives, moderates, and traditional liberals.
Low Voter Turnout as a Catalyst
"Apathy is as much the enemy as the DSA for Democrats and Republicans alike." (01:09)
Questioning Authenticity and Local Ties
"These people aren't even from the communities they organize. They're not even from New York. Two of them...weren't even born in this country." (03:00)
DSA’s Victory Depicted as a Technical, Not Popular, Triumph
"The DSA victory is a triumph of community organising, not of grassroots populism." (02:47)
The Role of the New York Times and Political Elites
“Take the New York Times' breathless description of Mamdani hopscotching among victory parties…his aura of invincibility, buoyed by recent weeks of Nix-related elation, transferred to the candidates he endorsed…” (04:28)
Allegations of Anti-Americanism and Radical Policy Proposals
"America doesn't want the crazy policies Zoran and the commies are championing..." (06:06)
Incident at Poetica Coffee and Political Ostracism
“…the filthy coffee shop in Brooklyn…banned Goldman, after he bought a cup of coffee there because he is deemed to be a supporter of Israel. Good for him.” (07:00)
Convert Voter Apathy into Action
"Every conservative, moderate and vaguely rational person needs to register strategically as a Democrat..." (09:07)
Endorsement of Bruce Blakeman for Governor
“He is a competent moderate who has transformed Nassau county into the best run and safest region of the state, governing for four years without a tax hike…” (10:09)
Call to Hold Establishment Democrats Accountable
“Hochul…owns this result. She and the rest of her spineless fellow establishment Democrats allowed their party to be taken over by the Algae Democrats, vandals who seek to spread out and destroy anything that is good and beautiful in this country." (11:13)
On the fragility of the DSA’s win:
“The Commies got a handful of votes in a city of eight and a half million. They are going to Washington as New York representatives, but they are as representative of New York as a pebble is of an avalanche.” (04:10)
On resentment toward left-wing cultural trends:
"Americans are not into tearing down everything that made America great and ultimately destroying Western civilization." (06:36)
Call to action for engagement:
"Low voter turnout is the tool the DSA uses to grab power, and it can just as easily be turned against them…their victory is as fragile as a puff of smoke, but only as long as the silent majority wakes up and takes the reins from the fringe riders." (08:41)
Miranda Devine’s tone is urgent and combative, warning her audience that the leftist wave in New York is neither broad nor inevitable, so long as the “silent majority” participates. She frames the episode as both a critique of current Democratic leadership and a rallying cry for strategic voting and engagement, painting Bruce Blakeman as New York’s best hope for course correction.
End of mini episode. Next installment coming Monday.
