Free bus rides and access to food. The humanity!
oh my god! /s
Can you imagine the level of eternal fear that is required to be a conservative?
Just constant, relentless, crushing, completely ridiculously unwarranted fear. At all times. These people are little bitches.
And yet at the same time, so incredibly sure about everything.
If only we did the most ruthless thing possible in every situation we'd be in a position to be ruthless again tomorrow. Crush every offense no matter how small. They'll never oppose you again. All for the sake of our perfect race, our peaceful god and the gold in our pockets
What a lovely world it would be
They really are chicken shit.
"Anyone who isn't a dumb fat sweaty flag-waving loser with dog shit breath might think they're better than me. . . I better attack them first!"
hey im fat
yeah its certainly not healthy for their mental health!
It kind of explains a lot, actually.
We all remember the cheaper groceries and free bus service on that fateful day.
My man opens his speech with a quote from Eugene Victor Debs! ✊
Did anyone else read, "Mamdani wins," in the mortal Kombat voice? Now we just need a cartoon animation of Mamdani ripping Cuomo's spine from his body.
With Trump crying in the background?
The Empire will strike back folks. Brace yourselves and don't self-congratulate too much, the real fight starts now. Good luck, American friends!
Yeah but they used sub rate contractors and left holes in sensitive areas.
"It'll be fine!"
The moment anyone so much as an atom left of center is elected, all the forces and money of the nations ruling class bears down on them to prevent even a baby step of progress.
If anyone wants to see it in action, check out what happened with the Democratic Socialists in Nevada. They were kneecapped on the way in by liberal Democrats who stole party funds to put towards their reelection. And the news syndication there all together slandered the dem socialists till public opinion got them all out.

So happy to see a clean sweep on EVERY major election across the country for dems and freedom. We cannot take the foot of the gas, the white house is currently working HARD to find ways to take away Mamdani's win and hurt New Yorkers because they voted against the king.
We need to maintain the pressure.
A win for the people! Cuomo's campaign expenses were $56 million, 2.5 times higher than Mamdani's. Cuomo was mostly funded by billionaires, while Mamdani had mostly small sum contributions.
Why are capitalists so bad at investments?? Weren't they supposed to be the smart entrepreneurs?
Truth is that this sort of thing has worked out for them before. Trump would not be in office right now if he wasn't bankrolled by Musk and Thiel. There were reports in early 2024 that the GOP was basically broke.
A few million to a campaign can be converted into billions of tax benefits. Just think of how much they got out of the Trump tax credits from the first term. Pile on top of that cases where they get sweet government contracts (like Palantir). It's all a direct shift of money from the working class and into capitalists with the government as an intermediary.
Which is to say that, yes, it is good investment for them. They can afford to miss a few sometimes. Generally, they play the game to win more than they lose. If you win every time, it's actually an Enron-style red flag.
Weren’t they supposed to be the smart entrepreneurs?
Like Mamdani said. They're spending a lot more than what he's planning on taxing them.
Why are capitalists so bad at investments?
Because it's actually worked. The wealthy have become outrageously more wealthy in the last several decades because of their interference in elections.
Mamdani is a setback for their plans, but honestly 56 million dollars is effectively nothing compared to the money the elite, donor-class holds and uses to influence society. The only way we topple their stranglehold is to have more "Mamdani Events" in every major city and state while we still have democracy and can launch grass-roots elections to remove corruption and money from politics.
Well, that's the only peaceful way. Revolution is always an option. But also, as long as the economic system allows individuals to hoard vast properties, the wealthy will use their power to influence politics.
Revolution is always an option
Sure, just as soon as the revolutionaries gain control of the military. Until we reach that day, all realistic plans for revolution are going to be at least on SOME level institutional and political in nature.
I like to repeat the story that Mussolini wasn't dragged out of his headquarters by an armed group of rebels who toppled the government, Mussolini was arrested and handed over to the dissidents by his own government and the king of Italy when the government caved to social and international pressure. (And the fact that allies were leveling a swath of destruction towards Italy.)
56 million dollars is pocket change for a single billionaire. It's less than that for a multitude of billionaires.

It is crazy what giving people to vote for something, instead just voting against someone can produce some great results. Mamdani had to take on a class on billionaires and the old DNC leadership he who didn't want to back him. It is funny af to see Chuck the leader of Dems show vote blue no matter who was fake. He most likely voted for Cuomo.
“It’s crazy what giving people something to cote for versus just something to vote against can do.”
I agree with your sentiment it’s just the sentence broke me.
