The recent New York City mayoral debate underscores the putrefied state of the Democratic Party (“Mayoral Race to the Bottom,” Editorial, June 8).
While correctly targeting ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the candidates each exposed themselves as leftist extremists and revealed their disgust for what previously made the Democratic Party an exemplar in American politics. It’s gone from a party that hailed religion, country and family to one that is now based on grievance, division and dependency.
The decline of New York City continues.

Hopefully, voters will heed The Post’s warnings that “anti-Trump performative politics loses ground on every front.”
The problem with the current group of candidates is that no one stands out as an individual thinker. The Democrats who debated last week seem to have forgotten that President Trump happens to be one of New York City’s biggest cheerleaders.
The one who recognizes that Trump wants what’s best for the city — and that fighting him will be counterproductive and a losing proposition — will be the candidate who stands out.

The Post must not endorse Cuomo as being the lesser of two evils.
I was born, raised and lived in Brooklyn and New York City for over 53 years. Going forward, we need a mayor who truly wants to improve things for all New Yorkers.
Please be very careful in what you wish for.

Michael Goodwin says that the mayoral candidates talk so radically “that it sometimes sounds like the beginnings of a secession movement (“Candidates race to the bottom,” June 5).”
He is right: For years, the radicals who dominate the Democratic Party in New York and throughout the country have given us sanctuary cities, violent antisemitic protests and resistance against anything President Trump does.
Wake up, America. If it looks like secession, walks like secession and talks like secession, it is secession.

Election time in New York City brings great comical relief to people outside New York. It reminds me of “The Dating Game.”
One contestant is a Marxist with a penchant for racism. The next is a Jack Kevorkian wannabe who is known for being a “hands-on” narcissist who loves to exploit the elderly. Finally, we have your average Joe. He seems way over his head but talks a good game.
It is going to be an interesting show.

ABC News’ laughable response that it “stands for objectivity and impartiality” flies in the face of major Trump-hater George Stephanopoulos, as and the biased attack orchestrated by David Muir and Linsey Davis when they fact-checked President Trump but not Kamala Harris (“Terry’s Moran-ic tirade,” June 9).
ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration is a shameful display of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It’s Terry Moran who must seek help for his mental state, not Stephen Miller. What’s more hysterical is that ABC News suspended Moran because it doesn’t condone that sort of behavioral impartiality. Lest we forget Stephanopoulis, who contributed to the lies regarding E. Jean Carroll and cost ABC $15 million.
Moran is the epitome of the media as a whole.
