India Walton was just 14 when she had her first baby. After leaving a home for young mothers, and quitting high school at 19 when her twins were born, she went on to get her GED (the general educational development test for those who did not complete their schooling), have a fourth child and become a nurse. Now she’s firmly on the path to becoming the mayor of Buffalo, New York–the first socialist mayor elected to a US city since 1960, when mayor Frank Zeidler of Milwaukee, Wisconsin left office.(Snip)When asked to what she attributed her success, Walton said: “The struggle. The struggle of being a black

Ah yes, a common example for black youth - unmarried, young black female who couldn't keep her legs together long enough to mature.

Her story "resonates" with other people who believe they are entitled to make one irresponsible choice after another, then have the taxpayers pick up the resulting bills. Unfortunately, there are enough of them in Buffalo to elect her.

Ever met somebody with a GED? I have. Some were hard working, some continued to struggle. I haven't met one capable of administering a city. And after reading this puff piece I still haven't.

Buffalo NY has a census of ~255,000 in 2021. That's down 2.6%. It has a poverty rate of 30.1%. Median income is just north of $37,000. Sounds like a socialist will do just great there. A dying city with a deadend mayor is a perfect recipe for failure.

Buffalo has been swirling down the economic drain since at least 1950.
It will continue to do so, socialist mayor or not.

I don't care what race---- single motherhood is NOT a qualification for public office.

OK, I'll "go there". She is a slut. Period. Apparently that "qualifies" you to be successful among lie-berals and socialists.
Her story resonates in the same way that porn resonates -- only to those people with the most base of internal moral standards!!!

As a much younger person and musician, one of my bands played in Buffalo at a club named "The Inferno"
Totally fitting name for a dump of a town. Sounds like it is going to get even worse now.
Why are so many leftist idiots and traitors running so many formerly American cities now. And running them and their unfortunate citizens into the ground or worse?

I don't know where to start.
Buffalo is the victim already of long term democrat rule. It has been driven into the ground already. There is nothing left to take, the democrats stole it already.
Entry level socialists NEED an existing prosperity to plunder in order to produce a temporary improvement of conditions for the "workers".
Buffalo has no prosperity available for this ignorant "socialist" to steal. It's all gone. She, and Buffalo, are doomed. That city needs a raging capitalist.

And the lefty Guardian laps up her story. Did she keep having babies - starting at 14 - because she didn’t quite know what makes babies? Nope. She heard there were rewards for unmarried girls having babies. Came every month as checks and debit cards and grocery chits. Wowser. Heckuva deal. She likes Socialism a lot...

The Guardian is the poster child for not only what is wrong with 21st journalism but a reflection of how pathetic academia has become. What utter ignorant losers.

Buffalo is a dying city, and perhaps with her help it will be DEAD. Problem is that these socialist will scamper like rats toward the Red cities. And like a cancer they will spread their communist, rhetoric, and voting corruption.
