This is true. However, his reactionary policies won't address the causes of these bad economic outcomes but will instead make them worse.


Works just fine in many other countries. NYC is practically its own small country, so it’s a great place to pilot it in the US.


In which country does it work just fine?


Any democratic socialist country works to make things better for its population, and they run many public-private partnerships, as would be the case here.

This is not a radical idea, but it seems that some people have really been conditioned to hate the idea of people getting benefits from their tax money. Pretty weird if you ask me.

LOL



Why is there no food in this government owned grocery store?

Mamdani apparently wants to starve poor New Yorkers.

Mamdani is sheer evil.


It seems he wants to fix the food desert. New Yorkers surprisingly are in a food desert and don’t have many grocery stores in the city because of the lack of square feet needed for major grocery stores. New York is a deli and restaraunt town. Most New Yorkers don’t even have a full kitchen or car so shopping at a grocery store is nonsensical. If you want a major grocery chain or Walmart, you have to go out to Queens or Long Island/Staten Island or Westchester since it’s more car friendly.

Liar. Manhattan is NOT a food desert.


Ummm. Manhattan is one borough. Plus Manhattan is more than Wall st to the upper west. Yes, food desserts in nyc are a well documented phenomenon.

Where exactly in Manhattan is there a food desert?

That's what you tell yourself. But also because of people like me and my peers. We're all GenX. Did you think only youngsters voted for him? You would be wrong.


Not PP: This NYC-residing GenXer did NOT rank Mamdani and will NOT be voting for him in the fall. I want to vote for a millennial socialist like a hole in the head. Probably going to write in Adrienne Adams.


Can you explain your dramatics concerning Mamdani?


I’m actually surprised Gen X is so against socialism. I guess they don’t mind that Social security will end for sure with them despite a lifetime of paying taxes


We're not against policies that help other people. We just hate phony virtue signalers like these so-called socialists.


Right. I am totally fine with losing my safety net as long as I’m not governed by some guy who is too virtuous seeming bc it MUST be fake!!! And if he checked the wrong box on his college app at 17 yo, forget it! I will not tolerate a candidate like that, even if he does care about working class and middle class issues. No thanks!! /s


If I am proven wrong eventually, I'll admit it. However, in the meantime I recommend that you prepare yourself for the possibility of being disappointed. No sarcasm.


Proven wrong about what?

And if you hate Mamdani, tell us what’s good about the other candidates?



That he's not up to the job.

I don't hate Mamdani. I just don't think that making engaging videos qualifies someone to be Mayor or indicates that he will be successful at the job.


This is how we keep ending up with 80 year old presidents. Then they elected the least qualified one in history to do it again.

Fresh blood is needed.


DP.

As are fresh ideas. Mandani just bundled a bunch of old, failed ideas in a slick Gen Z hipster-beard and social media package.

He knows his supporters have never seen a taxpayer funded government grocery store, so he plays them for stupid.

If all Muslim men working hot dog stands, halal carts, ice cream trucks, delis/corner stores, and apparently now pizzerias took off for a week, Manhattan would 100% be a food desert unless one can afford Nobu or Cipriani.

I’ve known New Yorkers, especially younger transplants, who never been to a grocery store. They just survive off coffee, deli sandwiches, hot dogs, and pizza. They will go to 100 bars over a year in Ny but only go to a grocery store once if at all

Yes the Jews control everything! Bill Ackman and Miriam Adelson each gave 30 million. Why did you not report that?

What do you think is going on?

I mean, besides a single rich person supporting someone trying to help Americans? Are you making some argument that he shouldn’t accept large donations that would help him achieve his goals? Back in the olden days the very wealthy were taxed AND voluntarily did things to help society. Museums, libraries, etc.

Is this some paranoid QAnon thing?

Now the billionaires are just leeches on society.

I saw this fanatic post earlier on Threads, and this is what we should aspire to:

“Scotland is a beautiful country where we take care of people. We pay our taxes so that university is free, prescriptions are free, period products are available for free. We provide baby boxes and maternity leave, school meals and childcare. Our communities are largely caring and accepting of others. So yeah, naturally we hate everything Trump is and stands for”

Do they “control everything”? Where would NYC be without the likes of Soros,
Ackman and Adelson?

Perhaps Mamdani ought not bite the billionaire hands that feeds him. The man isn’t too smart. His followers are even less smart.
