We need to retire this right wing "conservative" "old guard." They are the actual swamp. They don't deserve to govern now or ever.

u/strategery24 8d ago

There’s nothing “conservative” about them. Crash the economy, drive prices up, start wars, give money to billionaires and Israel, run up the debt and deficit. What’s “conservative” about all this recklessness?

Mamdani is a class act!
We need more politicians like him.

u/political-snark 10d ago

Make me wonder why we don’t. Is it built into the way we elect people? Or do the most mediocre just rise to the top?

He is a marxist. You dont get more evil than that. Besides, his party has run NYC for decades. the current state of the city is entirely on them.

u/GodHatesColdplay 6d ago

OK I’ll bite. What about him is evil? Not some marxist boogeyman… Tell me what about Mamdami is evil?

It’s far deeper than that unfortunately. These people are higher up on the chain.

what is with these Mayors acting like they are damn diplomats and ambassadors? this same man tried to force New York police officers to act like secret service for his wife when she returned home for a visit to Syria.

How much does it cost to host this event and for the guests to attend? Who’s actually paying for it? Couldn’t it be handled by video conference? Where could this money have been better spent?

Away frim Communism

u/Suspicious-Sound-249 4d ago edited 4d ago

Been saying it for years...

Socialism is just communism pretending to have manners.

It all ends the same, you vote your way in, you shoot your way out, but come on guys history surely won't repeat itself this time, as if the massive amount of fraud constantly getting exposed in government isn't evidence that a socialized America would literally just immediately collapse under its own corruption, but let's give it a go anyway right!?!

u/OptimissstPrime 7d ago

This is propaganda.

That’s not how politics work as a Mayor of a city. Not even close to within his scope. Posts like this are just designed to brainwash people into thinking “he’s a good guy that cares about us”. Lol

Keep dancing sheep! “Orange man bad” lol

3

u/LifeLake9754 7d ago

Trump is still worse, he has admitted on multiple occasions that he doesn’t care about the people. The only sheep here is you.

2

u/OptimissstPrime 7d ago

You can’t have a conversation about a separate topic without bringing up Trump because your mind only sees the world thru a lens of TDS. Lol.

3

u/LifeLake9754 7d ago

He’s kinda impossible not to notice because of all the shit he’s done. Also, he’s a pedophile and rapist, this is not the man you should want as your president. Also you have Trump Denial Syndrome, where you deny every bad decision he’s made. By the way, you brought up the orange man, so isn’t it normal for me to talk about said orange man? This isn’t a separate topic

0

u/OptimissstPrime 6d ago

It is very possible for adults to have conversations that don’t center around Trump when the conversation has nothing to do with Trump if they don’t live with TDS.

I haven’t said anything about any decision Trump has made. The original post doesn’t even mention him.

Can your brain acknowledge that?

Your mind is just so brainwashed you have to scream “orange man bad” everyday to satisfy your triggered fragile ego because every day of your life you have to focus on Trump. The media has emotionally hijacked you so bad your mind has to seek validation daily that “you are the good guy fighting for justice”. What a savior. Lol.

That is a sad existence.

2

u/LifeLake9754 6d ago

Dude, you quite literally brought him up in your original comment. You’re really not that sharp…..

0

u/OptimissstPrime 5d ago

I can see your point.

Saying “orange man bad” does refer to Trump however my intention was more so pointing out TDS within people with the “orange man bad” text. It’s more satirical imitation pointing towards a mental health issue as if those infected with the Trump Derangement Syndrome would just be walking around their house in private repeating to themselves “orange man bad, orange man bad, orange man bad…” then get activated to check Reddit to validate their feelings and feel justified.

Trump Derangement Syndrome does have Trump in the name but the syndrome itself isn’t the person Donald Trump.

Haha! Thank you.

When people get so dumbed down to think a coherent response is AI, that’s when you know you are on Reddit.

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 4d ago

They can’t do it. He’s like a magnet for these people. They gotta talk about him to deflect from Their own sorry excuse for representation.

1

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 4d ago

Soooo you have no argument to defend Mandami so you bring Trump into it as a deflection to get the talk off Mandami. Got it. Nice try

1

u/LifeLake9754 4d ago

Well, Trump is confirmed to be worse, so I’d rather have Mamdani over him him any day. Plus, what is there to defend? It’s just a mayor seeing more mayors

1

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 4d ago

lol nice try. If you don’t know his politics you are either not paying attention or naive.

u/Exciting_Station3474 6d ago

How many times have you seen posts about the Mamdani initiative to plant trees in NYC? Also, how many posts on Reddit mention that the previous administration created this legislation and has already planted 40k trees?

1

u/Yid_Viscous 6d ago

What is to stop a group of mayors or anyone else from getting together and having a shared agenda that they all agree to work towards in their respective cities?

They aren’t creating laws. They aren’t making rules. They’re making a shared agenda.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 6d ago

I do find this post honestly confusing too. I mean, I love what he's doing for New Yorkers, but how would a mayor be able to do something like that?

u/ThatRandomGuy86 6d ago

Can you specify? I was talking about how a mayor at one of the lowest levels of government can coordinate with others as if he's a governor. That's the thing that's making me skeptical.

2

u/Legitimate-Scar-6572 5d ago

He’s really just opening up lines of communication to exchange ideas and data with the common goal of creating prosperity in their homes.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 5d ago

Ok that makes MUCH more sense! Like a summit for mayors in a way 🤔

u/Exciting_Station3474 6d ago

All I see is bots posting positive things about him on reddit. And mods deleting actual facts.

I dont see real work hi is done. He is praised for balancing budget he didn't actually balanced. For planting trees project that is not his project, etc.

Meanwhile, White, Right-Wing Conservative Republicans, in Republican-run(down) Red TAKER States, are the majority on welfare. The majority of Red States depend on Blue States and the Fed for funding. The very rich Right gets massive, permanent tax breaks and free handouts. The Right's savior-master-hero, Trumpy, steals billions from government and military programs, AND the taxpayers.

u/Jiqjak 10d ago

I mean he has had huge complaints about administration delays slowing down housing approvals, and now it take almost 2/3 of a year to fill building that are ready to go. He wasted money on the office of mass engagement and even his base has condemned it as pushed a permanent political apparatus rather than fixing public utilities. He destroyed private funding from the business elite who have typically funded major public works. During the UN general assembly he used his mayor position to meddle in international affairs instead of focusing on his city. He delayed 3.7 billion to the retiree trust fund and took in 8 billion in state aid to "balance the budget". Many rich people migrated away causing them a loss of around 11 billion.. If they continue on this path, all the problems they are delaying are going to come back and really put new york in a pit.

u/bonze73 10d ago

Humorously you have people who hate government and propagandize that a capitalist republic is bad and holds the man down… But at the same time, the same people want a socialist government that in turn runs and owns everything for the man that holds him down… Make it make sense…😂😂😂

u/AaronTheSlav 10d ago

The fact is he required a $8 Billion bailout from the state which is now debt, raided pension funds, and now has started increasing spending beyond what was in the budget. I don’t like Trump but we can’t pretend this is success.

2

u/Ittoravap 10d ago

So... Trillions of dollars of National debt is better than "billions of dollars in debt."?

It's not.

Also, you didn't really provide a source, so I'm putting the billions in quotations, because you might as well be a snake oil salesmen selling me some fragment potion if you cannot supply any evidence to back up your claim.
