The Issue: New York Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs opposing mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.
New York Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs is a man among men. He is not caving to those big smiling fools, Gov. Hochul and Zohran Mamdani (“Chairman taking a stand for moderates,” Sept. 20).
He is not going along to get along. Jacobs knows pro-criminal candidates will only worsen crime and safety in New York City. Yes — it can get worse.
New York City has become a haven for doing whatever you want, to whomever you want, whenever you want without consequences.

If the Democratic Party wants to survive, it must divest itself of the socialist element. Leaders must force people like Mandami out of the party.
Jay Jacobs has bravely taken the first step.

I was relieved to see Jacobs show backbone, principle and courage in standing against Hochul’s capitulation to the antisemitic socialist candidate for mayor.
As an Independent voter, it’s sad to see that so many Democrats have been morally kidnaped by the left’s extremism. It is important to see that there are still common-sense Democrats such as Jacobs, who possess the core values and principles of the Democratic Party, but do not trade their morals for destructive extremist ideologies.
Thank you, Jay, for taking the lead.

New York Democrats are in a conundrum to say the least.
At center stage is Mamdani who, at this stage of the game, appears to be a shoo-in for mayor. On one side of him, we have Gov. Hochul, who approves, and on the other side, we have Jay Jacobs, who rejects the socialist.
Regardless of their stance, the people spoke loud and clear in the primary.

Just as Jacobs followed his conscience by not endorsing a fellow Democrat, people from both parties should not be like mice who blindly follow their leaders.
Instead, put the divisiveness aside and bring America back together.

It’s apparent that Jay Jacobs is the only leading Democrat who cares about New Yorkers and the future of New York City.
The hypocritical governor only cares about her political future. Wise up, voters.

The Issue: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats opposing a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk.
There are no words that can justify the thoughts, beliefs and vile rhetoric of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats who voted against the resolution to honor the life of Charlie Kirk (“A Dem disgrace,” Sept. 20).
Charlie’s life was taken by the hate and ignorance that’s continually blasted by the progressive left. He did not preach hate, terror or racism — he preached truth through conversation, always being able to agree to disagree through debate and respecting everyone’s values.

It is hypocritical that so many Democrats — especially Ocasio-Cortez and her sick minions — couldn’t vote for a resolution to honor a man that spoke of normalcy — not hate.
Kirk’s opinions, though at times disagreeable to many, were backed up by his dialogue with those who questioned him.
Democrats not only denied a father of two young children an honorable resolution, but are doubling down on their hateful rhetoric that Kirk was a fascist and bigot.
