Except the people paying zero tax and getting “freebies” mostly voted for Cuomo. Maybe for once step back and realize that maybe the upper middle class who overwhelmingly voted for Mamdani want a social safety net for everyone, want to protect the cab drivers and laborers who have built this city and want access to subsidized childcare and and hosting that this rich city is more than capable of providing.

But your lack of empathy and humanity can never make you appreciate this perspective and you would rather continue being a pawn in a billionaires game than wish for a brighter future for our future generation.

This entire post is untrue. Just because you say it doesn't make it true. The young white privileged voters who are supported at least in part by their parents won Mamdani the primary. It remains to be seen what will happen in the general election.

My guess he is making promises for everything he has to ability to change, then can say, I tried! But the big bad government wouldn't let me.

Also note, that as an assembly person, he could have brought up these issues to raise taxes, but didn't.

He is a disingenuous silver spoon boy playing at being a grownup. As are so many of the young white liberals who voted for him.

My hope is Cuomo steps aside and lets Eric Adams get in there and fight.

All this - exactly. He has sold the people who voted for him a false bill of goods.
Reminds me of Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson. We all see how that one has turned out.

Yes. Even the Chicago Tribune warned New Yorkers.

I do blame white liberal Gen X parents for raising these silver spoon kids. As mentioned upthread, the minute the going gets tough they will bail and leave the rest of the working class holding the bag of a 1970s - early 1990s NYC of crime and inability to walk the streets safely. They aren't even aware of what NYC was like back then, and very nearly defaulted on its debt. The Republican President (Ford) said "go to hell" and refused to bail NYC out. It was the business leaders who put together a plan to save NYC. Then about 15 years after that to pull NYC out of the absolute hellhole that it had become, and only because Giuliani wasn't afraid to do the hard work. Then Bloomberg truly took NYC to the next level.

Eric Adams saved us from the mess that was de Blasio. The thought of going back there is terrifying.

De Blasio presided over a LOWER crime rate and successfully rolled out preK for all, subsequently implemented for 2s and 3s. That is a life-giving program for families. The positive impact is literally incalculable.

I came here for college, left for work and grad and returned, and have lived in two boroughs. You’re legitimately a clown and don’t give a damn about this city. Go on, lie to us all.

Lived outside of NYC since 1990. Moved into the City in 1998. I lived through squeegee men and 42nd Street being the red light district. I lived up the street from the Twin Towers. Went through the financial collapse and everything since then.

Don't tell me I don't know NYC and don't give a damn about the city.

“Outside of.” Oh, that’s clear. Very clear what you are.

You know jackshit. I was at my desk for a for a firm that wouldn’t look at you twice on 9/11, and saw people carrying their stuff home when Lehman collapsed. You have lied about the city you claim to know. Stick to the burbs, and piss and moan with your fellow bitters on NextDoor.

Can you not read. I lived outside of NYC until we MOVED IN you idiot. Have lived in Manhattan since 1998.

Amazing you are so stupid. I watched the people carrying their shoes as they walked up Broadway to get home after 9-11. I watched the heavy equipment drive in from all over the country with the American flag waving on their huge cranes and trucks to dig out the twin towers.

Holy shit it’s Rudy!! May I call you sir?

I wondered how long before the Young White Liberals woke up and got on DCUM. We had a few hours of the adults in the room.

Lol. True. Now that you see it you really see it. Lol

Mamdani is a socialist for rich brats. There’s a reason he lost Black New Yorkers by a lot.

He just riles up the ignorants.

He has no real world work experience- managing a budget, building a business, learning an actual market.
He’s just a career activist like Barack Obama living off donor funds and his parents. But Obama wasn’t extreme and that stupid.

+1. Noticed as well. They are so triggered and cursing up a storm. Wonder what their 20 sms threads are saying on their desktop computers whilst they “work.”

You’re both so blinkered and smug. It’s no wonder you’re freaking out. Try to relax.

Wrong again. I’m LMAO!

We all know how this is going to end. And it will end quickly and swiftly.

All talk or means it, either way he’s a waste of space either way this nonsense. But yeah, likes the attention, power and greed side of campaigning.

Yep. Right now Bernie is on the morning shows talking up how great this is, and that the Dems should use his platform to win. I shake my head. I saw a chart that showed that MAGA and Centrist have pretty much stayed steady in their beliefs. But Dems argue they have shift further right. When in reality, the Dems are the one who have shifted so far left.

It will be interesting to see how far left we go before those who voted to make it happen have to live with the consequences.

You sound scared.

Yep. Most of my friends ranked Lander, Adrianne Adams and Stringer at the top with Mamdani second, and they are excited today. There’s a quote going around about how Boomers refused to relinquish power, so the transition to younger pols with an actual politics behind them is shocking. We see it here day in and day out.

I see talk of Lander primarying Schumer. That would be fantastic.

So are his dumb white “educated” (in gawd knows what) young voters whining that they “deserve” to live in NYC “just because”.

So despite their underemployment, Hail Mary wanting to go to law school at age 36, and zero savings, they believe a smooth talking leftist politician (unclear what job skills he actually has besides orating) will stop the whole economy to make that happen.

Do you know anyone like that? Because I live here and I don’t. Are you shitposting from Reston?

I'm not that poster, but I know plenty of them.

I don’t believe you, but you don’t believe yourself.
